I don't think SUNYs were ever particularly expensive, for state school standards. But obviously free is even better.
Private schools are very often cheaper than state schools. The vast majority of students don't pay sticker price. And many of the most elite private schools, with the highest sticker prices, have a large share of students paying nothing.

Compared to other state schools, they
were. At least when I went in the early 90's. And Regent scholarships did very little to offset the tuition. I did my first 2 years at SUNY and then transferred out and saved a lot.
State schools anywhere are fairly expensive now. My niece probably paid for her bachelors for what I paid for my bachelors and two masters combined.
