<p>Binghamton clearly is a better school than Stony Brook. Binghamton is higher ranked in most if not all college rankings, it has a much lower acceptance rate, and slightly higher retention rate, much higher SAT scores and a better campus/campus life. If anyone would like, I can provide sources for all these facts.</p>
<p>The only thing that Stony Brook has on Binghamton is research dollars, though I suspect in the next few years, this might change quite drastically.</p>
