    Regarding School of Liberal Arts and Sciences:
    Though most people don't know this, at New Paltz is possible to make up your own major. For example, I was originally a spanish major with an Italian minor and I wanted to study french so I created a Contract Major in Romance Languages. Your adviser may try and steer you away from doing this but don't let them put you down. If you decide to create your own major in what ever subject you choose, I would suggest working with the Associate Dean Dr. Lynn Spangler; she's very supportive.

    Regarding School of Fine and Performing Art:
    New Paltz is a seeming liberal town/university with a very big art program. One would think it's a great place for art students who are on a budget and don't want to give up a liberal arts education, but it really depends on what your goals are. Take the Painting Department for instance: very strict, very difficult to get into the BFA painting program(limited studio space), bad attitudes toward illustrative work, work is almost exclusively done in oil. Basically, don't come here if you have thoughts in the back of your head of eventually becoming an illustrator, because it won't fly here. There's only one water color class, and it doesn't teach control of the medium, again-big focus on oil. The good thing is if you get into the BFA program for painting you get your own studio space which is extremely rare especially for undergraduate school. If you're interested in Metals: while visiting the school faculty may lead you to think that though uncommon, students are able to work on a large scale as opposed to jewelry-don't buy it. Furthermore, the BFA program is not very interdisciplinary at all. You choose one art form and pretty much stick with it. It is also nearly impossible to get a BFA in four years, especially if you have other majors/minors.
    As far as art history goes, don't plan on being an Art History major if your interested in art other than European, Greek, Roman and American art. there is an extremely limited number of art history courses offered in subjects other than these, but they are very flexible with transferring other courses from study abroad etc.

    Regarding Campus Life:
    If you have mobility impairment I would not suggest coming to New Paltz. I live in Capen, an accessible dorm: there is no elevator and the kitchen is on the 3rd floor. Hasbrouck Dining Hall is no better: If you use a wheelchair you need to use the backdoor entrance and take an extra long trip to get there(there are stairs leading to the front door of the dining hall and then there is another set of stairs from the entrance upstairs to get to the food). Downstairs from Hasbrouck there is a food court that is open late at night. In order to get inside with a wheel chair you need to go through the back entrance/through the kitchen which ironically has the most nauseating odor. In addition, during the winter, the maintenance crew does a terrible job clearing ice on the walk ways on campus, which makes it very easy to slip and fall/ have your wheel chair go out of control. There is a Disability Resource Center on campus but they only do so much. read full review
