<p>Seriously people need to read into the history of the schools before posting on here. Look at the wiki. Look at the awards and accomplishments. Stony dominates in science accomplishments and in overall rankings as it pertains to the world. While bing was inducted as a public ivy, stony brook has won many awards as well, most notably being part of the American Association of Universities. Stony Brook has more of a name as it pertains to the world as a whole. Bing is an up and coming school (ranked 11 on us news for it). It has not yet been noticed by times higher education.
They are in two different categories only institutions name as a whole can really be compared.</p>
