<p>Ok, I hear you on Albany. I know it well. </p>
<p>I would just strip away a lot of what you say and simplify the situation.</p>
<p>I think you need to find out whether you can get into the 4/1 plan for sure.The answer to that question is a vital piece of the puzzle.</p>
<p>Consider: You say a Bing drawback is “Unsure of PPL degree being superior to a degree in Mgmt/IT from Albany.” I don’t think a PPL degree from Bing. trumps a management degree from Albany if your goal is business which seems to be your aim.</p>
<p>BUT an MBA from Bing. with an undergraduate in whatever trumps a undergraduate degree in business from SUNY Albany.</p>
<p>That being said, SUNY Albany is building a new business building and so maybe an MBA from there is an option?</p>
<p>Sounds like you want out of Albany though. I agree that Bing. campus is far better than Albany as far as quality of life is concerned.</p>
