hurting the entire university.

LOL. The campus is a lot nicer now than when I attended, a few
hundred years ago :) If you look at that list of schools, many
of them are top-ranked Universities, including SBU, so beauty
and ranking doesn't have a high correlation necessarily. With
Cuomo's "free tuition" plan in play, the demand for going to SBU
will only increase, and the threshold for getting admitted will
only go up. All good for SBU's ranking and status, IMO. Not
sure if SBU administration has any incentive currently to
beautify the campus to a larger extent.

Who cares what the facade looks like on the outside. It's what
inside and behind the desk that counts. Stupid article!

I freakin love it!!! Long overdue and will be a huge boon for
the campus once this gets done.

Wow. I don't believe it. Is that really how it's going to look!
That's amazing. Basically a new building.
I though it was going to be a reno?! I guess not?!? It looks
like a brand new build to me...

I think that's a silly name for the medical school- I don't know
any other med school in the country named after a firm and not a
family name.
Simons School of Medicine sounds a heck of a lot better.
