State University of New York at Plattsburgh was once known as a sub-par institution. From 1971-2005, a person pretty much needed a #2 pencil to get in.
Due to the rapid influx of Gen Y freshman tied with the 2008 recession, the admissions office started getting strict (like all SUNYs) in their selection process, and the overall campus community started to mature.
An accounting professor who once taught at the prestigious Wharton School of Business came to Plattsburgh State in 2009 for a trial semester. He stayed because, "the students are hungrier for knowledge". (Note: The business school is AACSB accredited)
Thus some time between 2003 and 2007 the last gasp of morons started to graduate (or drop out) and Plattsburgh found itself as a premiere institution.
So if you're looking for social diversity and well-rounded business, communications, nursing and education programs. You'll get it at SUNY Plattsburgh.
Thankfully there are no more people on campus like the author of Plattsburgh State University, so ignore the school's old reputation. I did, and now I have a great job

Get the SUNY Plattsburgh mug.A hella cool town in Norcal where you're either Mexican, Italian, or Philippino. It's generally low class to middle middle class. Its downtown is pretty legit, but people (mostly from Walnut Creek and Pleasant Hill) still consider Pitt to be super ghetto even though we all know that Concord and Antioch are even more so. There isn't a huge black population (that's Antioch, haters). And Pittsburg is not to be mistaken for Bay Point as people from both BP and P-World don't consider BP to be part of Pitt.
WC: You wanna hang out this weekend?
Pitt: Sure. Chill in DT Pittsburg?
WC: Nah, man, that scene is hella ghetto.
Pitt walks away and no plans are made because WC is too snooty to go anywhere that isn't "high class"

Get the Pittsburg Parachute mug.Where the biddies are boppin' and the playas get poonan all day. Formally known as P BURGH .. some may even go as far as to call it Plattsvegas, either name will suffice. Everyday is a party and whether you are invited is up to you. Beers Blunts and Bongs are around every corner. If you go here and havent smoked a fatty behind Wilson .. you havent lived.
Parties at frats are sketchy but theres no place to sketch around like the Burgh. Brink, Couch, Helen, South Catherine, and Broad are the names of the streets that will hold your finest party memories .. or lack there of.
fucken rage burgh style, i dare you
