<p>Down to earth, funky and friendly describes to a tee the kind of kids D1 loves, and have no doubt New Paltz will be on her list when the time comes. If there’s a mold for Binghamton or New Paltz, am not sure if S2 fits into either, really. Our small public HS sends several each year to Binghamton and Geneseo, and a few (usually more artistic students) to Purchase and New Paltz. Truthfully, S2 has his heart set on American U. in Washington, DC. On paper it looks like a match, but you never can tell. He still needs academic and especially financial safeties. His GC recommended Cortland, but he’s not interested - he still has it pegged as the jock SUNY, whether that’s still true or not. Probably should have visited Oneonta. Another one for next time–</p>
