Stony Brook University has been ranked 45th among all U.S. universities, according to QS World University Rankings. In addition, the university was 15 among public universities nationwide and named the top public university in New York.

40 ND
41 Cal Irvine
42 Rutgers
43 Case Western
44 Illinois Chicago
45 SBU
46 Buffalo
47 Penn State
48 BC
49 Maryland
50 UVa

I read the article. They are #45 because of international ethnicity.  Say it ain't so. My son is an honor student at SCCC is is looking to finish his undergraduate degree either at SB or Binghamton.  I told him go with Binghamton for his business degree. He wont fit well with 45% of asians in his class rooms at Stony Brook

So anything other that a white majority is unacceptable at a NY university? The 45% Asians may make him a better and more focused student

I would tell him to attend whichever has the best Business program or the best reputation...

I dont agree with it. Stony Brook high percentage of international diversity students have everything to do with money. There are a ton of SUNY schools in NYS where he can attend and get the same business degree and not sit in a classroom with professors who cant speak English or students who wont even look at you.

This is the reason for the very low student fans base at our football and basketball games. There's nothing the athletic dept can do to make 1000 or more Asians attend football games.

The category ratings for SBU actually aren’t very good. “Academic reputation” came in low compared to other top universities. The boost from “international diversity” (a questionable measure of quality) accounts for the overall high ranking.

nevertheless- appropriate for the thread!

Yeah, like who would actually choose SBU over UVA (which is ranked lower than SBU).

"International diversity" is indeed a worthy and debatable topic when it comes to the operation of a university. What hasn't been stated yet is the fact that those international students contribute greatly to the reasonable cost of education for your/our native students. It certainly is about money...in a financial equation that tends to favor native NY students in a significant way.

But when one-sided characterizations of ethnic groups and not-so-veiled racist tropes enter into the discussion, that to me is not appropriate and should not be shrugged off as "just the way things are."

A high five to those of you who challenge those stereotypes...you are First-Team All AE in your rankings and accomplishments and make SBU a better place.

When we're ahead of schools like Buffalo, Penn State, Maryland, and BC, I'm not going to sit here and argue with the ranking.


I also wouldn't choose to not send my kid to SBU based on the assertion that the teachers "won't speak English." What a ridiculous thing to say.

It's not a ridiculous thing to say. If you cant understand the professor speaking what good is it. This is not something we all don't already know. The language barrier between students and professor is concerning. I know many, and I mean many students who turned away from SB because of this issue.

i do recall talking to a parent of a prospective athlete over 20 years ago- kid liked the team, dad was concerned with academics.  only had one question- do the professors speak english, particular in mathematics.

LI is rather insular.  especially out in suffolk.

again i have no dog in the fight; i welcome diversity.  just passing on the news.

Of course SBU is not lacking in applications, interest, and reputation from an academic standpoint. If many of these students exist and choose to turn away for a reason like this, that certainly is just one more thing that makes SBU better.
