I've listed this article for peer review because I would like to continue to work to eventually bring it up to Good Article status. I've done a great deal of work over the past few days to bring it more into line with the WikiProject: Universities standards.

Several WP:MOS issues need sorting out, but specifics...

Section headings must comply with WP:HEAD.
Citations should be placed in accordance with WP:CITE.
Explain SUNY before using it as an abbreviation.
If image captions are fragments, they don't take a full stop.
You need considerably more references, you have many [citation needed]'s already and a whole section tagged as needing references.
When making references, use the {{Cite web}} template, not just raw urls.
Image sizing should comply with WP:MOS#Images.
Value ranking has no references at all.
What's a SAT score? Remember, this needs to be understood by non-American, non-academic readers.
What makes a notable alumnus "notable"? This section will be WP:POV.

A lot to do for GA. Feel free to shout if you need help with any of the above. The Rambling Man (talk) 17:43, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would look for a model article or two to follow - Ohio Wesleyan University or Michigan State University come to mind, but there are others. Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 23:48, 3 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
