The State University of New York College at Geneseo is a public liberal arts college in Geneseo, New York, United States. It is the state's public honors college and part of the State University of New York (SUNY) system.

This is a strong option for students who want a selective public college experience at a genuinely affordable price — $18,021/year net and only $14,836 in median debt at graduation are standout numbers. The 72% graduation rate is decent but not exceptional, so ask yourself honestly whether you're the type to stay on track in a small, somewhat isolated upstate New York town. If you are, the $53,400 median earnings at 10 years suggests solid but not spectacular outcomes — a good fit for students prioritizing value and a tight-knit campus over prestige or high-earning career pipelines.
