What impressed you positively?

Everyone was extremely friendly, the students and faculty I met were great! The facilities are great (but a bit funky looking on the outside). The students seemed confident that they were getting a great education, and all seemed to know each other well. The student to cadaver ratio was great in the anatomy lab (less than all other SUNY schools). Lots of opportunities for research, and a growing global health program. Also offers an accredited MPH. I visited every school in New York State, and I liked SB better than many private schools.

What impressed you negatively?

The location isn't that great, but they're pretty close to NYC, just hop a train to penn station. Long Island traffic sucks, and housing is a little pricey, but not too bad.
