Hi Ritendra,

I agree with you there is some kinda of arrogance among those folks at SUNY Stony Brook. But you know what, I think your decision should not be as hard as it seems, go for Penn State for the following reasons: More money being offered, more friendly staff. Sincerely, it will not make a big difference if you have a PHd from Penn State or Stony Brook, you will get equal opportunitties from prospective employers and schools when it comes to job offers, and Computer Vision is a great field, lots of research opportunities especially in the applications to medicine and biology. Lets compare Stony Brook and Penn State rankings:
-US News
Stony Brook #32
Penn State # 36

But anyways I don't beleive in US News ranking at all, its commercial, its bogus (no objective method of ranking), and its irrelevant. What matters is your Phd thesis advisor. So I think you should go for Penn State, my friend visited the school; he loved it
