   How it compares

   Among 2,515 universities in the United States, this is a public community college rather than a large research university. Its main appeal is geographic: one main campus plus centres in Victor, Geneva, and Newark, which makes it a practical option for students focused on the Finger Lakes region rather than a single urban campus.
