Sure, there are several campuses within the State University of New York (SUNY) system that stand out for their programs and reputation.

1. SUNY Binghamton: Binghamton is often considered SUNY's premier institution. It's notable for a strong emphasis on undergraduate research and for its respected School of Management, Thomas J. Watson College of Engineering and Applied Science, and excellent programs in the liberal arts and sciences.

2. SUNY Stony Brook: Stony Brook is well-regarded, especially for its science, engineering, and medical programs. It's home to the renowned Stony Brook University Cancer Center and a member of the Association of American Universities, which contains 65 of the top research institutions in North America.

3. SUNY Buffalo: As the largest public college in New York, SUNY Buffalo offers a wide array of academic offerings, with over 140 undergraduate degree programs. Popular disciplines include Business Administration, Psychology, and Biological Sciences.

4. SUNY Geneseo: This is one of SUNY's more selective colleges, noted for its robust liberal arts and science programs. Geneseo is often recognized for the value of its education and its commitment to undergraduate teaching.

5. Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT): A standout in the SUNY system, FIT is internationally recognized for its programs in fashion, business, design, visual arts, and related fields.

6. SUNY Environmental Science and Forestry: This college is particularly distinctive for its special focus on the study of the environment and natural resources. It offers unique programs like Aquatic and Fisheries Science, Conservation Biology, and Forest Health.

Of course, the "best" SUNY school depends on what you're looking for in a college experience, including factors such as size, location, academic programs, and extracurricular opportunities. Research is key to finding a good fit!
