Stony Brook University (Honors College) or New York University (CAS) for premed

Thank you for your insightful response. We live in Brooklyn, so commute is not bad, about an hour by subway, but Stony is not that far either, he would be able to come home for weekends if he wants to. He is leaning towards Stony because he can have some social campus life there, hopefully meaningful research opportunities, be a member of the honors class, and spend less time in transportation. A slight concern is that Stony is still considered fairly competitive. However, we still think that he’ll do well there.
