Date: May 28th, 2019 9:42 PM Author: Snowy thirsty indirect expression I'd guess that 90% of the people don't know what a Cornell is and you'd get blank stares. There isn't any prestige-seeking there; you go to UB, Canisius, St Bonaventure, Fredonia, Brockport, Buff State, Niagara or one of the Rochester equivalents (Nazareth, St John Fisher, Roberts Wesleyan, Hobart). That's the entire universe.
Even at private schools (with the exception of Nichols and Park before it became...diverse / a "basketball school"), the goal often isn't Ivy+ - it's to go to the best private or Catholic college you can with a half+ scholarship. Not an entirely retarded view, but you'll see, e.g., the valedictorian of a good public like Clarence or private/Catholic like St Joe's / Canisius / Nardin going to Alfred U (presumably for free). |

Date: May 28th, 2019 9:48 PM Author: Snowy thirsty indirect expression It's an economically depressed and insular area. Probably better for your career in Buffalo to go to Canisius College than Cornell.
It's a shame that the SUNYs are a mess - they would attract better students and they would become better schools in turn. |

Date: May 29th, 2019 4:48 PM Author: bull headed passionate public bath It really is shocking that New York doesn't have 1-2 true flagship public universities.
In HS those of us in the upper ranks of the class always viewed the SUNY schools as afterthoughts, even as compared to state schools outside NY. |

My friends that didn't go to UB, Canisius, Niagara, Fredonia or St. Bonaventure (or the like), only left the area because of sports scholarships. I absolutely thought I was headed to UB like my mother until I moved out-of-state during my junior year in HS.
I had one friend who went off to Cornell (he's now a biglawyer) and none of us had any real appreciation for it being a good school or an ivy or whatever. |

|
Date: May 30th, 2019 12:50 PM Author: bull headed passionate public bath Where I grew up I'd say Cornell was considered very prestigious. Kids weren't regularly getting into HYPSM, and schools like Duke/JHU/Chicago/Northwestern/ND weren't as popular.
Probably Cornell and Penn were the two most popular "top" schools. |
|
Date: May 30th, 2019 1:02 PM Author: Snowy thirsty indirect expression Interesting. Fancy!
Notre Dame was god-tier and yet also reasonably attainable for at least a few kids in every class. This wouldn't hold for the upper ranks, but I'd say would be true for 90% of the people walking around at Tops or Wegmans or the Galleria Mall. Notre Dame would drop panties and yield introductions to daughters; Penn would be assumed to be Penn State; Columbia, Brown, etc. would be met with blank stares; Cornell might as well be any other upstate private. |

Date: June 3rd, 2019 6:03 PM Author: Snowy thirsty indirect expression Here's an excerpt from an obituary in the Buffalo News from today (and way to fuck up ND's name):
"Mr. Spencer had been accepted to attend college at both West Point and Notre Dame University but chose to attend the Ivy League University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia on a full scholarship."

|
Date: June 3rd, 2019 6:21 PM Author: Cobalt location private investor He's an outlier for sure. But it is hilarious that they note that he had been accepted to Notre Dame, so the average Buffalonian knows how prestigious he was.
Sad news, though. Condolences to his family/kids. |
|
Date: June 3rd, 2019 6:42 PM Author: Snowy thirsty indirect expression Oh, agreed -- that's what I found notable -- listing college acceptances in obit (for someone in his 40s), "full scholarship" (do they do that at Penn?), and "Ivy League."
Very sad. Heart attack in 40s. |

Date: June 3rd, 2019 8:40 PM Author: talented pisswyrm Upstate bro here. Agree with everything Jimbo said. In my part of the state Cornell was just some private like Colgate or Hamilton (to the extent people even knew it was a college at all). No one knew it was ivy league or what ivy even was. Penn was definitely Penn State and was a great school to get into. Cuse, Nova, Pitt, held in high regard as was Providence. That is where all the top kids in my prole high school went. One dude got Notre Dame and he still has a plague on the wall at my school. Georgetown is an all black school.
Columbia is an on line school, not even fucking kidding, look it up.
The saddest thing is that with all the money flooding into colleges NY still couldn't turn Albany into a flagship. |

Date: June 4th, 2019 2:27 PM Author: Snowy thirsty indirect expression Concept of prestige doesn't really exist, as histrionic bitchmade lawyerfaggot mentioned above. There's no sense of the pecking order or what fits where. When I was going out of state for college, a friend of the family / neighbor asked me "why don't you just go to Buffalo State? GE is hiring right out of there" - it's just a different world (and I'm 99% certain that's not the case and hasn't been since 1960, anyway - I doubt that GE is hiring 920 SAT mouth-breathers for $80K career-track jobs with pensions).
To the extent that there is any school that carries prestige, bigeastboy has a good list above + Notre Dame. Buffalo is heavily LMC Catholic and Notre Dame is #1. Pitt, 'Cuse, Nova, PC, Boston College (although considered very fancy / preppy), etc. would be considered to be great outcomes, although I don't think it would mean much more to people than going to Canisius College, St. Bonaventure, Niagara, or UB (these are known locally as "the big four" and there are events, an annual golf tournament, etc.). Another factor is going where your parents / siblings went of those schools. |
