thank you so much for your helpful relplies! I understand that other SUNY schools might better fit my academic wants, but I am more interested in the campus environment (i really want it to be aesthetically pleasing) and student body. I am pretty self-mitivated, so I figure I can always study on my own for the MCAT to achieve an exceptional score.

Also, I really don’t mind if it is in New York or not…so I am not confined to the SUNY schoolsystem

LilyMoon–your son sounds like he is in the exact same situation as me! I hope his transfer decision goes well. I would for sure love to get in touch if we both end up at New Paltz

marny1–SUNY-efs seems really interesting, and I have definitely been looking into that since you mentioned it. Thanks so much! Do you know of any other schools that have this school within a school kind of program? These might be very good options, because of the tuition deals.

Anyways, I am planning on going on campus visits soon, since that is the best way to determine if its a fit, so I will probably hit a couple of the NY schools.

Thanks again for your reassurance. I have been talking to my oober conservative and controlling parents about SUNY New Paltz, and they aren’t really too pleased about me chosing an artsy and non-name brand university. I have been trying to make a list of pros and cons to convince them–any myself, I guess-- to accept my reasoning. You guys have been really helpful.
