<p>There is always dissatisfied students, and you are one of them but to say that Stony Brook doesn’t offer as good or better education than Bighamton is completely false. First of all, I doubt you can get an honest proof of the statement you just said. I think so far, the education i have been given by the Computer Science department has been great. I won’t deny some professors that dont put to much effort into their job but I had many great professors which far outnumber those that are not as good. Those that lectured my DEC courses were great, and also challenging at time. </p>
<p>One important thing that matters when attending an university is that your experience is greatly affected by the type of person you are. If you are not a social person, then is obvious that you going to struggle having a social life at Stony Brook. Same thing happens with academics. </p>
<p>Stony Brook is not a four-year college with a primary focus in Undergraduate education, it is a University which values Research and Graduate education as much as Undergraduates. If you know the history of the University you would understand that it is only from ten years onward that Undergraduate education has become more important for the university</p>
<p>Your particular experience at Stony Brook is what is shaping your particular views of the University.</p>
<p>I forgot to say that the only reason my sibling transferred from UBingo was because she wanted to attend NYU which is much closer to home as we live in NYC. She loved Binghamton and I was able to visit the university a few times but I still think the University is out comparison with Stony Brook. I would say Binghamton is more of a four-year-college than an University because it stresses undergraduate life too much over graduate studies.</p>
<p>IMO Stony Brook is a true University, Binghmaton is not. Impossible to compare</p>
