thanks lilymom, its good to hear that the IR has positive reviews. Do you know anything about the financial aid or if they offer merit scholarships? Also the application deadline this year is april 1st… which is a lot different than the jan 1/15 of most schools… so when do you hear about acceptance? Also how does you son like his professors are they interesting?

orchastra mom,
i never really thought about ub just because its sooo in my backyard (almost literally) but i think i might consider it now. I remember my brother got really good aid there when he applied and my grades are a little better than his so it might be worth a shot. Also you made a good point about making a little school smaller… little schools just don’t have the resources which is a big point. I’m just worried about having 100’s of people in a lecture class… with no personability i could see myself easily reasoning my way into skipping to go snowboarding or something. on the other hand… ub has a great ski club so thats always a plus.

does anyone have any insights about stonybrook?
