Hi everyone,
I have been recently accepted to the University of Rochester and Stony Brook University and I need to make a final decision. Everyone I have asked has suggested me to go to Stony as its more academically reputable. Many people have not heard of URochester. Some say its decent. Others think its a SUNY. Others confuse it for RIT. My question is

What is the academic reputation of Rochester in NYC and globally? Does it compare to selective schools and in terms of selectivity with like NYU, Carnegie Mellon, Brandeis, Hamilton, UMich, and Stony Brook?

How do employers view a Rochester degree, and why are people unfamiliar w/ it?

Stony Brook vs Rochester?
