I think the best financial aid, among your choices here, will come from Stony Brook. The school has an large international community, an international studies minor, a train station on campus that goes to the city, and the best weather of any SUNY. Although the University Centers are larger than the Colleges, they aren’t really that big when compared to other state schools, like Florida for example where the student bodies can exceed 50k. They really do a great job of making the schools smaller with programs such as honors and others too. The students I’ve known who were accepted at New Paltz and Geneseo, including my son, received very small if any merit scholarships. As a academic and financial aid safety, I’d take a very close look at SBU. Good luck!
