The State University of New York at Geneseo—also known as SUNY Geneseo or, colloquially, Geneseo State University—is located in Geneseo, Livingston County, New York. It is a constituent college of the State University of New York. The school was founded as the Wadsworth Normal and Training School, in 1871, and became a state liberal arts college in 1948. It is a member of the Council of Public Liberal Arts Colleges.
Geneseo is classified as a four-year public liberal arts college. Geneseo has 48 undergraduate majors, six graduate programs (Master's only), and 25 interdisciplinary minors. Of these, Business Administration, Biology, Communication, Education, Political Science and Psychology are the most popular majors.
The student population is approximately 5,100, with a student/faculty ratio of 17:1 and an average class size of 25. Nearly 90% of Geneseo's full time faculty holds a Ph.D. or other terminal degree. Geneseo ranks number one in the nation for four-year graduation rates among comprehensive colleges and is currently tied for highest freshman retention rate in the SUNY system.
One of the differentiating hallmarks of SUNY Geneseo's curriculum is the requirement that each student take two 4 credit survey courses in western humanities, in addition to a wide distribution of arts and sciences core courses. "Humn 1" and "Humn 2", as they are called, are taught by faculty members from various departments. Individual course syllabi share many historical, philosophical, and literary texts with other courses creating a common knowledge base within the undergraduate student body. A distribution of core courses in the humanities, languages, and sciences further ensures that Geneseo students are well versed in the liberal arts tradition of education.
25% of Geneseo's students participate in study abroad programs, either through the College or the SUNY system. One of Geneseo's most popular study abroad programs is its offering of Humanities I in either Rome or Athens, and Humanities II in either Paris, Prague, or at Oxford University.

Question:
Which SUNY is better and why?
I'm trying to figure out which one to go to. I also want to know what it's like to live at each of the SUNY locations. I want to go into premedicine. Currently i'm looking at Stony Brook, Binghamton, Albany, and Buffalo.

They all have good reputations, especially for students who are pursuing sciences and premed. Your best bet is to visit each campus. Go on formal tours but allow time to just hang out around the science buildings and don't be afraid to talk to students and ask them about their thoughts for their campus and their studies.
Some SUNY schools have a program where you can stay overnight with a current student and shadow them to class for a day. That might be a good opportunity in helping you decide which is best for you.
You might also talk to people in health industry, doctors, pharmacists, dentists, etc. and see what they suggest. I suspect they'll have stronger opinions about the actual medical school program than about premed though.

Question:
SUNY Binghamton?
I've been looking into applying to this school, I'm interested in hearing about some positive and negative things about it, and possibly some recommendations of other good SUNY schools.
Thanks!
I'm looking to study in Business, maybe Economics.... but that basic area of study.

It depends on what you're interested in studying. Binghamton is a great engineering, computer science school. It's a little remote and doesn't have the city atmosphere as much as SUNY Albany or University at Buffalo. If you're interested in politics, social welfare, business, or criminal justice, then SUNY Albany is your school. If you want to go into education or child care related fields, Geneseo is the best. If you already know your areas of interest or study, then look into which SUNY schools are best with your subject and choose based on that with a combination of how you like the area (big city vs. remote).

Question:
SUNY geneseo college?
I am planning to dorm at SUNY geneseo next year and I was wondering if there is anything that i should know about the school before I go and /or does anyone have any sudgestions on what to bring for the dorm

I would definitely suggest a mini-fridge to hold fruits, snacks and drinks. Also some of the dorms have plastic chairs so you might want a cushion.
You'll definitely want flip flops and a shower caddy holding shampoo and soap and stuff. Also bring comfortable lounge wear like tees and sweats. This winter was pretty mild compared to what my friends faced last year, but generally bring warm clothes for the winter. Geneseo does have semi-formals so you may want to bring some nice clothes and a pair of dress shoes just in case. Also the campus can be quite hilly so bring comfortable shoes, especially sneakers!
Bring posters, pictures, curtains, etc to brighten up and really make your room your own! If you can bring a rug to make your room feel cozy.
You'll need your own desk lamp and you should get a desk organizer to hold all your stationery and pens and stuff. I also found either a multi-tiered letter tray or accordion-style portfolio to help me keep on top of various classes. One-subject spiral notebooks are a lifesaver when taking notes, there's no worry about that missing page.
You don't need a printer, I found mine to be a waste of space. There's a printer in every dorm and plus you have a 300-sheet printing balance every semester.
A mini-vacuum and Swiffer help you keep your room clean.
A TV is a nice but space-consuming feature that you would probably place atop the dresser.
You may need to get things like plastic totes and baskets and such to hold things--I strongly suggest you get these things at the nearby Walmart.
Definitely bring a digital camera to take lots of pictures! =)
