From these comments I can tell you a great deal of SUNY schools have a similar culture - a former NYer now in CT.

Which school? You mean as a system? In NY SUNY is seen as a small step up from CC. They target local people and are often back up schools. A degree is a degree at the end of the day but there are only a VERY small number of SUNY schools that are recognizable and desired and even then, having attended one known very specifically for its programs, the culture and other degree offering sucked.

I think this opinion must differ greatly by location. I grew up in NY and SUNY was seen as just another college. I know a lot of people that went to SUNY schools and they all had great experiences.

Stony Brook, Buffalo, New Paltz, Geneseo, and Binghamton at a minimum have good reputations. There are a lot of really local campuses that are similar to CSU though.

My daughter was accepted at WCSU and SUNY Puchase. She chose SUNY. She found heroin spoons on the stairs to the library. She left after a semester.
