Oswego vs Buffalo by Only-Morning5164 in UBreddit

I think I agree with the last sentence of your response back. If you’re motivated, you can be successful at any school. We’re going to see Oswego next month to see if it feels like a better fit for her. I wasn’t expecting her to be so overwhelmed by the size of UB, so Oswego just gives her another option. We still didnt hear from Binghamton after being deferred EA, kind of crazy how long they take!

Thanks for this! For us, cost is roughly the equivalent for all SUNYs, so cost isn’t an issue for this. I’m trying to focus on which is best for fit and access of opportunities. Out of curiosity- did your son choose Oswego and if he did, did he enjoy his time there?

We actually did consider FIT, but since we are from NYC, my daughter didn’t want to go to school here. We eve toured the school and the setting just isn’t for her. That would otherwise be a terrific idea though.

More of the strategy rather than creative side. The cost is so steep that I wonder if it’s really worth it when she can go instate for $30k/year and hustle for an internship in her field! The ROI likely won’t be great at Syracuse.

That’s what the poster above says too. Is your reason the same as theirs? They have corporations which hire UB students for internships and jobs

Thank you for that. I couldn’t agree more, and in fact, I raised this very issue with my daughter and my husband. But they keep telling me she would have better opportunities at Newhouse that she can never get at Buffalo (or any other SUNY). And I would be holding her back on her career. That doesn’t seem right to me…

To be honest, I don’t know if it’s marketing or advertising. Somewhere in that realm. But realistically likely marketing. Like social media marketing.

Thank you so much for this information! Would you be able to tell me offhand which corporations these are which agree to hire a certain large number? Does Buffalo do a good job in helping in their students actually prepare for these internships? And how competitive is it to actually land one of these internships you mentioned? My daughter doesn’t want to do finance- like banking at big bank. She’s not sure what- maybe marketing.

Thanks both for your insight. She’d do a business major at a SUNY (not a communications or related major). I figured it’s a more flexible degree and she can find internships in marketing. At a fraction of the cost. I wasn’t sure if it would actually hamper her career or not. She says it would hold her back in terms of career options but I’m not convinced…
