What kind of campus environment is preferable?

Stonybrook is located in an upper-middle class residential suburban town which according to dozens of alums I know doesn’t have much for college students to do and is known as a “suitcase school”*. It’s CS department ranking is #40 according to USNWR.

Drexel is located close to UPenn in urban Philly. Not known as a suitcase school and there’s a lot more to do around the area from my observation. CS department ranking here is #90 according to USNWR. However, they are known for their co-op program.

Strongly recommend campus visits to both on regular days/weekend during the semester and talk to current students to get a feel for both campuses.

A school populated mostly by local/regional students who tend to go home every weekend which means campus life can seem dead on the college weekends.
