Okay, so I am having an enormous amount of trouble deciding between these two. There are major pros and major cons of each. I am about 1 hour from Albany and 4 1/2 hours from Stony Brook. I’m a pretty friendly person and I want to go to a place where I could meet many other people from all over. I am interested majoring in Linguistics or some foreign language. I know either of these schools aren’t really known for those…I did not receive any scholarships from either, just offered loans.

I really don’t like the fact that with Stony Brook you are pretty much guaranteed a triple in a double-sized room and you have to pay for laundry. I do like the fact, though, that it is close to the city and has a diverse student body. And I don’t really think that Albany’s campus is aesthetically appealing or that there are supposedly parties every night keeping everyone awake. I do like the fact that it is closer to home and pretty much guarantees you are in a double with a double-sized room.

I am not asking you all to make decisions for me, just curious about others’ insight on each school… Thanks:)
