<p>Idk, from word of mouth, Binghamton seems to get overwhelmingly positive reviews from alumni and current students, some of whom were top students and got into bigger name schools (Cornell, NYU, etc). Stony Brook… mixed reviews and, from what I gather on this board, isn’t for many people. I know a few people who actually transferred from SB to CUNY! Unfortunately, however, “knowing people” isn’t the most reliable source for calling making judgements.</p>
<p>Yeah, college is what you make of it, but the difficulty of “making it work” really differs between schools.</p>
