    Am learning a lot

    Classes are a bit more difficult than high school, but you always learn something new in at least one class along with meeting new people.
    Am enjoying being here

    It's a great school with great people, even people from all over the world.
    Bang for the buck

    It's totally worth going to a SUNY school at pratically a fifth of the price of private colleges where you learn the same material as private schools and have similar learning styles where the teachers are amazing and absolutely helpful. Since it is a SUNY you know they aren't getting the best pay so obviously the teachers want to be there for you and to help you!
    Tips for prospective students

    If you want to learn and have fun, Albany is where to be. We're only a couple hours from NYC. The only thing you really do need to know is to bring fans for the summer and extra warm clothes and blankets for the winter because it gets incredible cold! Rain boots are a good investment as well. I thought I might be able to get away with not getting a pair but I definitely regretted it after all the rain and snow accumulation.
    Great for these types of students

    SUNY Albany is well known for Business, nano technology and the sciences but also offers theatre, music, anthropology, globalization (very new), many different languages, Linguistics, and practically any major you can think of. The campus is also very diverse and has people from many different countries and states and is almost 50/50 between men and women.

    Am learning a lot

    I'm learning so much in the books and so much more outside of it! Take advantage of your teacher's office hours, join some clubs, meet people and have fun. The honors courses are exceptional and I can't believe how much my process of thinking has changed.
    It's a different experience for everyone. Mine has been amazing. You just have to go forward and make it your own.
    Am enjoying being here

    Albany is great because you are in a city so many things are so near by. But the campus is separate enough so you don't feel like you're crowded in a city. I joined several clubs which I never pictured myself ever doing and found a number of amazing people to hang out with.
    To be honest, I didn't want to come to UA at first. I hated the idea. Until one time I visited and I felt comfortable with the place. Now I coming here was one of the best choices I have ever made.
    Bang for the buck

    For all they do, and compared to all the other schools, YES! It has one of the best prices and you get a lot back. Private schools can nickle and dime you to death it seems. But since it is state funded, things are kept pretty nice, there are many facilities at your reach, and you are in a good location for research.
    Tips for prospective students

    Yes, it has a party reputation. No, you don't have to do that.

    There are lots of people to meet, and in general, I found you just have to reach out a little to start up a good conversation.

    JOIN THE CLUBS! I never thought I would like fencing until I went to the first practice and loved it. Now I am going with the club to competitions in other schools. And I never pictured I could learn salsa dancing as well.

    Just keep an open mind and never give up. You can learn a lot if you're willing to see it.
    Great for these types of students

    Any one going for the sciences, political sciences, liberal arts, business, and almost anything else. It's a big school so it has most majors. Their undergrad science is good and the city gives you intern/research opportunities. And for political sciences, Albany is the capital region and has many government offices, buildings, and events.

    It has all sorts of personalities so I can't say what kind of people it would be good for.

    Those with high academic standing from high school would do well to join the honors college. It gives them the opportunity to get some wonderful classes, good housing, and other bonuses such as tickets to the school's preforming arts shows and the ability to borrow a book from the library for a full semester.

    Am learning a lot

    SUNY Albany is a great place to learn. There are more than 100 majors available. International students are attracted to the business majors available and there are great programs available to enter. Some examples of programs a Ualbany student could get into (with the appropriate GPA and course of study) are the 2+2 law program, the Physician Assistant Program, Dental, Physical Therapy and the school's association with Albany Medical College.
    In terms of classroom comfort, for a large institution, UA is a pretty comfortable settings. Warning here though: most freshmen with intended majors are put into large lecture halls with other students of the same.similar major, so be aware that the lecture halls could be crowded. It is competitive, so try your best to be top dog and always make sure you show yourselves to the teachers, because you don't want to be ignored in a crowd of 100-300 students.
    Am enjoying being here

    Since Albany is in the city and is the capital of New York, there are tons of things to do. There are performing arts centers where concerts take place (The Egg, Palace Theatre, Linda's) and sometimes UA students can grab great discounts and free bus rides (CDTA transport) to get there. In terms of sightseeing, there are museums and the state department offices to see. There are also group, club, and frat activities students can do if they choose to join. Restaurants and great eats are also around Albany for the hungry diner.
    Bang for the buck

    In-state tuition is always cheaper than out of state. An out of state undergraduate student will have to pay annually for room fees, tuition, and university fees: $ 24,886.

    An instate student will have to pay: $16,986 annually.
    These numbers are from (http://www.albany.edu/studentaccounts/charges.htm) and remember this is before financial aid, TAP, and scholarships.

    In terms of personal finance, keep track of how much money you spend on credit cards, even if your hitting the local Walmart, because money can run out quickly.

    Tips for prospective students

    Weather tips: Albany has two extremes in terms of weather. Remember Albany is COLD in the winter. Why? Because it is in the North, near Canada. Start bringing heavy winter jackets starting from October. April and May is the season for decent to humid weather conditions. It can get HOT.
    Do not expect snow days, unless the amount of snowfall accumulated is more than 6 inches or icy conditions occur.

    Be aware that roommates may not always be that friendly in the beginning.
    Do not succumb to peer pressure or group activities that do not engage your personality, you'll only hurt yourself in the end.

    Great for these types of students

    Outgoing students, and kids that are willing to integrate themselves in different activities in terms of clubs and frats.

    Multitaskers; meaning being able to study and relax and then watch the big basketball game with friends and doing volunteer work after at Albany Med.

    Big achievers: Good grades are a must! One must work hard to achieve here, and although UAlbany was a big party school some years ago, it is important to have a sense of balance between fun and studies.

    International students: Business college is a plus.

    Health majors and science majors: Medical school and transition to graduate school is easy here, especially when you have the grades to get into special programs such as 2+2 law and 6 year PT programs.

    So be alert, and you'll be achieving those dreams in the end. Don't give up!

    Am learning a lot

    This school in phenomenal in it's academics. There are so many options and you could choose to learn about just about anything. When I chose this school I wasn't 100% sure what I wanted to do and they just had so many learning opportunities that I couldn't pass up the opportunity. Now I have fantastic teacher's and have learned so much from them since I have been here I know what I want to do. Not to mention the advisors that we have are amazing and they are extremely helpful!
    Am enjoying being here

    There are over 18,000 undergraduate students which makes for a very diverse living environment. I love being around this many different kinds of people and if you enjoy a good time and diversity then I suggest SUNY Albany. There is never a dull moment whether it be good or bad and it's always fun.
    Bang for the buck

    Compared to other school's that I looked at this one was my best option financially. Out of state tuition is only a little over 24,000 and in state tuition is a little over 17,000 which is not that much in comparison to other schools. Not to mention the fact that you are getting the same, if not a better education than a private school for a fraction of the price. The only reason private schools charge so much is because they have smaller amounts of people in classrooms. Even though there may be 500 people in a class at a time you are still getting a fantastic education if you pay attention and do what needs to get done.
    Tips for prospective students

    I suggest that if you are going to apply that you have more than 2 recommendation letters, a great personal essay and decent SAT scores. I applied for early acceptance and I had 6 recommendation letters. 3 personal and 3 professional. I believe that the more things that are said good about you by other people the better the chances are that they will see you for something other than just your GPA.
    Great for these types of students

    I believe that this school is fantastic for people that may not necessarily know what they want to do yet. There are majors and minors in just about everything you can think of. You can even come here as a Pre-health or Pre-law student. There isn't much here that you can't do. And it is a lot cheaper than most other schools so if you want a great education for less monet and a lot of options SUNY Albany is the place to go. Not to mention the fact that there are over 200 clubs and organizations on campus so if you are the kind of person who likes to get involved and keep yourself busy you will always have something to do and you would be surprised at some of the clubs that we have here. Things you would never even think of. Suny Albany is for people that are willing to integrate themselves into a very diverse place and work hard to get where they want.

    Am learning a lot

    The classes I have taken so far have been good. Everything varies based on the professor, as it would at any college or university. Some professors are harder than others, but either way, I feel good with the information I am receiving.
    Am enjoying being here

    At first glance, the campus looks dreary and unwelcoming. Keep in mind it is the second largest cement building in the United States. But it grew on me quickly. During the warmer times there are four fountains and nice gardens that brighten things up. I have yet to run through or swim in the fountains; but its on my list. I commute, so I can not comment on the dorms, but I have seen worse from more expensive schools. And the dorms are not far from the Podium (main rectangle of buildings).
    Bang for the buck

    I was looking at a couple of private schools that were very expensive. What made the difference was the price of UA and the financial aid they offered. The financial aid they gave me exceeded the tuition amount, and so I have enough money to pay for books and gas. I don't know anyone who is really struggling to pay for their education there. I have found that for the price, the education is a great deal.
    Tips for prospective students

    Enter with an open mind. UA was honestly my last choice, and that's because I had my eye on art schools in the city. Going in I was expecting for it to be awful, but I quickly found that I liked the school, and I often bring friends to the campus to give them a tour.
    Great for these types of students

    For students who don't mind being a number. There are multiple lecture halls that are big enough to hold five hundred students. You can easily go in and out unnoticed. At the same time, in these classes I have seen professors address students by their name, or go out of their way to say hello to me. While there are large classes, there are small classes as well, so you have a chance to get to know your professors.

    Am learning a lot

    I am learning a lot both in the classroom and outside of it. In the classroom, information was thrown at me twice as fast than in high school. Outside of it, you get to learn how to manage your own money, setting up your personal schedule (this is a big one!), how to do your laundry, etc. There are also a lot of internships and academic support on and off campus. Tutors are free, and there are many offices that can review research, or other assignments for you. The University Library also offers a program to guide you step by step on your research projects.
    Am enjoying being here

    I do enjoy being here. Whether you wanna play football, have a debate, or listen to some live music, there is always something to do after class. The student government funds over 200 groups on campus. There are other colleges in Albany area too (St. Rose, and Siena). This is a great college town. If you wanna go downtown with a group of your friends to find a good movie, eat, or party, there is always something going on.

    Bang for the buck

    The University costs about $20,000 right now. It's pretty cheap considering the rankings and reviews this school gets on public policy, business, social welfare, criminal justice, engineering, and education. It has a partnership with the NYS Legislature for internships as well. Although it may seem cheap now, tuition may go up in the near future. Funding is a major problem in the SUNY system now and programs have been cut (theater, French, Italian). It all depends on what you want to major/minor in.

    Each quad contains 8 residence halls. Each residence hall is equipped with washing machines and dryers. They are all free of charge. Also, the tower of each quad has a free gym for whoever wants to avoid the freshmen 15!

    Other expenses

    Transportation here was a little weird for me. If you want to take a bus somewhere, it's free. Whether it's a shuttle or public transportation, uAlbany students get on for free. Cab rides are $7 is you're alone, $4 each for 2-3 people, and $3 for 4 or more.

    Food here is cheap.... well pizza is cheap. A slice of pizza in the City of Albany can range from $1-$2, but don't worry, the quality is still there. There is a Wal-Mart conveniently located around campus if you need to buy...well they sell everything. They're open 24hrs on weekdays!
    Tips for prospective students

    Get involved! It's a great way to get to know people on campus. College isn't all about grades, it's also about networking. A strong GPA might catch an employers attention, but a friendship or recommendation can land the deal. If you don't like any clubs on campus, you could start your own free of charge, and receive funding from the Student Association (student government).


    The most important tip I could give incoming students; never go downtown alone. Although SUNY Albany is located in a safe neighborhood, the downtown area is notorious for crimes. On weekends, many frats/sororities and other students have parties downtown. Criminals are outside around these times specifically looking for people walking alone. Don't make yourself look like an easy target.

    If you do go out, don't take any cups from any strangers and don't drink the jungle juice!

    Oh, I almost forgot! Always stay in contact with your advisor! The earlier you register, the better your classes!
    Great for these types of students

    This school is great for students that are into politics, business, criminal justice, education, social welfare, and engineering. The University holds high rankings in all these fields and #1 in Nanoscale Engineering.

    Also, if you're looking for a place with a lot of school spirit, this is the place. Great Dane pride is everywhere and you will always see purple and gold (school's colors) everywhere.

    If you are a student that wants to major in French, Italian, Russian, or Theater, I would recommend you do your research and make sure you still want to come here. Funding issues could lead to the removal of these departments from campus

    Am learning a lot

    Some of the classes are interesting and you will learn a diverse amount of information from a wide range of topics like cultural diversity, global and cross-cultural studies, etc.
    Am enjoying being here

    I'm an honors student so I live on a great dorm, I have some small classes, and I live with other honors students so we stick together in our classes and activities. It's great! If you get accepted into the honors college, or in any other special program like EOP, or Project Renaissance, you should definitely join.

    There are SO many clubs to join ranging from cultural groups to fencing to laser tag and pre-medicine. They help you network with other students and you can gain lots of friends with similar attributes to you. I strongly encourage all student to join at least one or two clubs.
    Bang for the buck

    SUNY Albany is a top notch school when it comes to this category. Tuition is around 16-18,000 plus books and other expenses. It's way less than other private schools in New York and other states. However, it's more expensive for out-of-state students.
    Tips for prospective students

    Stay active, do your schoolwork, and make lots of friends. Don't forget to be you, this can't be said enough.
    Great for these types of students

    SUNY Albany is great for all sorts of students. There's something to do for everyone!

    I have learned a lot from the last 2 years. Classes are usually at a medium level, so they can be hard at times, especially when you don't know your strengths yet. Most professors are willing to help, in case you don't understand work.
    Am enjoying being here

    I have made so many new and amazing friends. The campus is pretty, especially in the fall.
    Bang for the buck

    it honestly depends if you are commuting or live on campus. The academics are definitely worth it, but i'm not so sure the food and dorm rooms are exactly worth the money.
    Tips for prospective students

    I know i was nervous when i first moved 150 miles away from home to come to Albany. Just relax and have fun. There are so many people here and communities that want to welcome you, so let them. The campus is pretty diverse, so there is someone for everyone.
    Great for these types of students

    SUNY albany is great for almost all majors. It has strong Business, Biology, Psychology, English and History programs. There's plenty of classes for everyone. Just know the school is pretty big, which is perfect for social butterflies.

    suny albany is far too big and it sucks. don't bother going here unless you live nearby and can commute or you love to drink/party with various illegal substances. it can be good for graduate school (my sister attends for teaching) but if you are looking to excel at a good college, this might not be the one for you.
    Tips for prospective students

    parking is terrible, be sure to only park in the right spot or they will fine you like crazy. be aware that in the parking lot, there isn't good lighting and they often don't plow it during snowstorms. also, you'll need a good 10 minutes or so to walk to class. this is a big university so don't think you'll be running into friends all the time, no matter how many people you know. oh and the towers pose a bit of a fire hazard, so avoid them if you are doing housing.
    Academic Rigor

    it depends on the program, but some of these programs are very sub-par. the writing ability of incoming students is terrible. mine isn't very good but i end up putting the rest of the students to shame. when freshman students don't know how to write proper essays and do citations, there's a problem/
    Dorm Life

    it depends on where you live because some of the rooms are nicer than others. in terms of the people, they are all pretty social and nice. there is also always alcohol and drugs available if you want them.
    Food and Dining

    while you might think that having a wendy's makes the school awesome, the food still follows below what other colleges should have. plus, who wants to eat fast food 24/7? not me. i do like some of the other options on campus though. they have a nice salad bar.
    What to do for fun

    the school is very close to everything in the albany area. there are buses running almost all the time. crossgates mall and the two-story walmart are close. there is also the nys museum and assorted bars and clubs, some of which cater to those 18 and up as well as 21+.
    Bang for the buck

    if you are a nys-resident is pretty damn cheap, especially if you aren't living on campus. when you add in the pricey accommodations, it can get a little iffy. you really need to budget your money wisely, like in all other things in life.

    Tips for prospective students

    have an idea about what you may want to do as a career. although the advisors at suny albany are very nurturing and help you plan, these 4 years can go by so fast. it helps to have a small idea because the advisors here can help you so much better and put you on the right track towards a career you might desire!
    Academic Rigor

    academic rigor depends on the student. if you try hard, then you will do better. also, i definitely recommend making use of the professor's office hours if a student is having trouble with concepts.

    living in a dorm is an amazing experience! you get to meet so many new people and it's a great way to learn about interaction with others. the people in your dorm often become your best friends.

    Am learning a lot

    Like any school, if you apply yourself than you will get something out of the class. A lot of the courses you take are in lecture centers but not all. Classes that are in lecture centers just require extra self control because it's very easy to get distracted. I've also learned outside the classroom as well. Being away from home teaches you a lot about yourself and other useful information that you can only learn from your peers.
    Am enjoying being here

    I love it here. I've met some really great people that really made my college experience better. Some don't like the campus because it has a lot of concrete but I think it's nice. The campus has a couple fountains scattered around the campus that make it a great place to hang out.
    Bang for the buck

    The school is a state school so its going to have one of the cheapest price tags out there. Not only does it have a good price though but also a good number of opportunities for a lot of the majors.
    Tips for prospective students

    Keep in mind what you want to get out of your college experience when choosing a college. SUNY Albany is a great school if you take it seriously and make the most out of it. With any college you choose, get involved and be active. That will really change your experience for the better.
    Great for these types of students

    People who like to socialize but study too. SUNY Albany is a great school for people who are passionate about what they do and are willing to put the time and effort into it, no matter what it is.

    Am learning a lot

    I transferred in from a community college, and noticed the huge difference between there and UAlbany. Firstly, the teachers are more dedicated and committed to teaching you and you actually learn and retain more. Secondly, the difficulty starts with easy and gradually increases to hard so that you actually start learning things. Thirdly, if for some reason you are falling behind, the teachers are ALWAYS available by office hours and/or email; most of the teachers I've had are very personable and flexible, and will always try to help.
    Am enjoying being here

    I grew up in a small town high school; I then transferred to a small community college. I'll admit, I was afraid to transfer to UAlbany, whose population is an outstanding 19,000+ students. But I never looked back.

    The campus is beautiful all year round, even in the cold, winter months. There's a lot of things to do all year round, either on campus or off campus. UAlbany's campus is conveniently located a few minutes from the mall, gas stations, grocery stores, convenience stores, tanning salons, etc.

    I also like the diversity. There are so many different nationalities and such at the school, and we all mix together and nobody minds. There are definitely a lot of interesting people on campus that you'll come across and maybe even meet.
    Bang for the buck

    You definitely get your money's worth at UAlbany. There are so many things to do, clubs to join, volunteer activities, getting involved in the school newspaper, being on a sports team-- UAlbany offers a TON of stuff to make sure you get your money's worth.

    Nevertheless, if you need some extra help in paying tuition, try applying or financial aid. If that doesn't work, I suggest you apply for T.A.P. ONLY if you live in New York State. Almost everybody gets it; it's around $250 per semester.
    Tips for prospective students

    Manage your time efficiently; the work piles up the most around midterms, breaks and finals.

    Take advantage of the library and its librarians.

    Get to know your professors and establish a relationship with them as it will definitely help you in and out of the classroom.

    Make sure to keep in touch with your adviser; they are very helpful in managing your classes and credits for graduation and/or transfer. They'll help you out with anything you ask them, or at least point you in the right direction!

    STUDY! You may have gotten by in high school by barely studying, or not studying... but in college, if you don't study, you'll fail.

    Do Not Procrastinate.

    Having trouble making friends? Join a club or get involved with some of the activities the school has to offer!

    Parking is a big pain. Make sure to arrive on campus (if you commute) about 15-20 minutes before your class begins. I guarantee you'll need it to find a parking spot and get to class on time.
    Great for these types of students

    The campus is really great for most students who are hard working, committed, likes a good challenge, likes diversity, wants to meet new people, likes to have fun, doesn't mind the big campus and student population.

    Tips for prospective students

    keep up on reading is my best advice even if you didnt have to study in high school be prepared to study and go to the library its easier to study when everyone around you is. also just go to class it seems simple but a lot of people just dont go and fail because of it. if extra credit is offered DO IT! get involved and be super friendly to make friends

    There is never a dull moment at SUNY Albany. Between academics, clubs, and sporting events there is always so much going on. It is a very multicultural school so anyone could fit in.
    Tips for prospective students

    Plan travel ahead; since there are a lot of students who attend the school buses and trains tend to fill up quickly before breaks. However, because there are so many students, there are numerous transportation options straight from the school. Get as many college credits as you can in high school because it gives you priority in housing and scheduling which is VERY important.
    Academic Rigor

    It depends on your major. Communications majors usually have easier classes while the business and science majors tend to have more difficult classes.
    Dorm Life

    Indian quad freshman year 100%. The rooms are bigger than State quad. Dutch and Colonial are upperclassmen quads with bigger common rooms but smaller dorm rooms. The apartments are BEAUTIFUL, especially empire commons. They just built Liberty and have the older apartment complex Freedom, all located on campus.

    The options in the campus center are great. There is Wendy's, a new Mexican place, an Italian place, and sub and salad place. There is quite a variety. However, dining hall food is dining hall food, it is OK.

    SUNY at Albany is a very great University as far as academics and graduation rates. It offers so many different opportunities for individuals who attend it. The campus is very diverse and has people from many different countries and states, which makes you a well-rounded individual to new backgrounds.
    Tips for prospective students

    Be attentive and it's always better to read ahead for lectures. That way you will most likely understand what is going on and have questions to ask in the future. Going to office hours and familiarizing yourself with your professor is always beneficial in larger classes. Also, apply to scholarships. You can't go wrong!
    Academic Rigor

    Lecture halls are huge and if you want to do well and exceed, sit in the front. For smaller classrooms, some are taught by grad students and teaching assistants. From experience they not only care more about the students, they are more willing to spend extra time to help you with any problems.
    Dorm Life

    The University has several options for housing. From standard singles to enhanced doubles. You do have a choice to pick your roommate or suite mates that u prefer to live with. There are four quads and they are each unique in there own way, Indian, State, Colonial, and Dutch Quad.
    Food and Dining

    The food on campus is good sometimes. But usually it depends on the dining hall you attend. Overall, the food is provided by Chartwells which is not always the best but it's edible. The campus center has some select courses like Wendy's, Zepps, and even a Soup Kitchen just to name a few.
    What to do for fun

    SUNY at Albany is known to be one of the top party schools in the U.S! Therefore, when the weekend comes and you feel like releasing stress, partying downtown or even in the Campus Ballroom is usually an option. Or if your not much of a party person, you can go downtown and play bowling, watch a movie or play glow in the dark golf at Crossgates Mall.

    SUNY at Albany balances the best of both worlds. The social experience you want and the academia you expect. If you make college all about grades you will not fully enjoy all that SUNY Albany has to offer.
    Tips for prospective students

    Do not fall the victim to the stresses of college applications. It's not worth starting the journey on the wrong foot. Just because you didn't score the highest on the SAT or take 3 AP courses does not put you at the bottom of the totem pole. SUNY at Albany is here to help you, not criticize you.
    Academic Rigor

    A healthy social and academic balance is important for all college students. That being said, expect to make sacrifices. Grades come first and foremost and time will need to be spent studying and applying yourself. The better you do, the better you will feel.
    Dorm Life

    It's imperative as a freshman to live on campus. Unless you are a social butterfly or already involved in a number of extra curricular activities you will not create the meaningful relationships you may expect. Your best friends in college will be those you live with during your early years at college. SUNY at Albany has a great dorm structure that encourages you to meet people with similar interests.
    Food and Dining

    The food is what you would expect of colleges. Some of you may love it while others hate it. Personally I was in indifferent. SUNY at Albany offers an adequate selection of foods offered in various dining halls around campus. You don't truly understand the idea of the Freshman fifteen until you are presented with so many possibilities.
    What to do for fun

    SUNY at Albany is not like any other environment. There are a number of activities to engage in to better your time.

    Dorm Life

    The dorm life in SUNY Albany inhabits all types of cultures and individuals who combine their interests and points of views to create a sort of melting pot. The size of the dorms vary from single to triple suites and common rooms are open spaces that are usually decorated into a living room, where friends and suitemates can simply relax.

If it is necessary, vending machines filled with snacks and drinks are also available after 11 pm.
    Food and Dining

    The food in the dining halls are good. If you are a vegetarian, lactose-intolerant, or have certain food issues, the dining hall tries its best to accommodate every individual. From wraps to tofu, burgers to ice cream, cereal to bagels, the dining hall can get very creative with the basics!
    What to do for fun

    There are various clubs and organizations that students join that intrigue their interests or curiosity in SUNY Albany. Students can also go to two nearby malls, Colonie Center/Northway Mall or Crossgates Mall, where shopping, laser tag, and dining restaurants are located. If all else fails, Tv and movies together in a suite become the norm in a suite.

    The campus and most classes are very big so you could get lost in the shuffle. The food isn't the best especially if you aren't a fan of chicken and french fries. This university is very good if you're looking to go into medicine, law, or business.
    Tips for prospective students

    This school is known for being a party school so if you are strictly about grades, you might want to think twice before you enroll. The classes are for the most part difficult but if you stay on top of it, you should be fine. Once you come here, its up to you that you are a name and not just a number.
    Academic Rigor

    Most of the classes are very difficult and you will need to learn to multitask. Especially if you are a bio major or criminal justice major, you have to be very dedicated. There are some easy A's though such as Business Law or Myths of the Greek World.
    Dorm Life

    Dorms are pretty small;the most common is a double and if you want a single, they are harder to get and cost a lot more. You might also be tripled up which creates an even tighter space. There is also a downtown quad in which you would have to take a bus. So depending on your lottery number it might or might not work out in your favor.
    Food and Dining

    The food in the dining halls are usually always repetitive and you get tired of it after a while(chicken and fries). There are different meal plans that you can choose from but be wise when it comes to the plan you choose. You also get something called a mealtrade which is essentially a free swipe for a meal in their little cafes.
    What to do for fun

    There is a mall literally 5-10min away by bus as well as a wal-mart to go shopping. There are always interesting events, plays, and games going on. There are also house parties every weekend, even on Thursday so if you enjoy that, there's that too. There's also a museum downtown so if you're the artsy type, that's for you.
    Bang for the buck

    SUNY Albany is overall a good choice when it comes to price. You get to meet a lot of new people and gain new experiences. They also have a lot of opportunities for networking and internships so you're ultimately getting your money back in the end. They also have programs like EOP where if you're eligible, you would only be paying a few thousand dollars!
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    Some traditions they have are fraternity/sorority probates where the new brothers or sisters are crossed over and are officially a part of it. We also have Danes after Dark where they have games and movie nights in the Campus Center and big events like the football and basketball games.
    Clubs and Activities

    There are so many clubs, organizations, intramurals and activities to be a part of. This school provides so many ways to get involved like pride alliance, Fuerza Latina, Photography Club, volleyball intramural, and many more!
    Campus Safety

    We have our own University Police and Emergency phones in which we can call them and they will be at our location in less than 5 minutes. This campus is very safe considering how big it is.

    SUNY at Albany does not offer the majors I'd would love to consider, yet they are on point with the courses they do offer. When it comes to choosing class the school is very unorganized, but when i ask a professor for a permission number they are more than willing to do so. Also the food is terrible.
    Tips for prospective students

    Make sure you know what you are getting into. Don't come to this school simply for the name, make sure they offer your majors and minors.
    Academic Rigor

    Some classes are very intense and it is hard paying attention with four hundred other students talking behind you. But as your progress throughout the years, the classes get smaller and are more understanding.

    SUNY Albany is a large state school situated on a big slab of concrete. Parking is a bit of a nightmare. The best classes I had were in the English department.

    SUNY Albany is a very diverse, welcoming campus. There is a large variety of organizations to join, and it is very easy to get involved. It offers its students great chances to advance socially, and challenges students academically.
    Tips for prospective students

    Come in with a positive attitude. The campus can get large and frustrating at times, but once you get the hang of things, you will be very appreciative of all the resources that SUNY Albany has to offer.
    Academic Rigor

    Just like every other school, you have to work hard to get good grades. The professors here genuinely care about the quality of work that is given to them, and students should never underestimate their professor's potential of grading them rigorously.
    Dorm Life

    The rooms could be bigger, and it could get very cramped and uncomfortable, but overall, they are not bad.
    Food and Dining

    Chartwells is not the greatest, but not terrible when it is your only option. I prefer to go to the Campus Center because there is a variety of options, from Wendy's to Haagen Dazs, Olo Sushi, Rosso Verde, and Tim Hortons.
    What to do for fun

    There are a lot of clubs downtown, but many people prefer to stay on campus where big events are held, or people have small gatherings in their dorms.
    Bang for the buck

    Yes. It is worth every penny. I feel that the food should be better, and the rooms should be bigger for the prices.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    There are spirit Fridays, where the school encourages the students to wear purple. There is also Danes after Dark in the Campus Center lounge, where movies are shown and games are played.
    Great for these types of students

    Intellectuals, those interested in Community Service, people that enjoy diversity.
    Clubs and Activities

    Albany State University Black Alliance, Reclassifying All Children Equally, D.R.E.A.M. Org, Pan-Caribbean, Muslim Students Association, Hillel, African Students Organization, Albany Business Leaders Emerging, Bowling Club, Jamaican Student Organization, Fuerza Latina, Precizun Step Team, Knemesis Dance Team, Young Urban Professionals, Phenomenal Voices, NAACP, Pre-Law Association.
    Greek Life

    They are not very prominent on campus. Some include: Kappa Alpha Psi, Alpha Kappa Alpha, Sigma Gamma Rho, Phi Beta Sigma, Alpha Chi Delta, Alpha Sigma Phi, Alpha Phi Omega, Sigma Psi Zeta, Sigma Iota Sigma, Sigma Iota Alpha, Lambda Theta Phi, Lambda Pi Chi, Gamma Rho Lambda, Omega Psi Phi, Lambda Sigma Upsilon.
    Campus Safety

    I feel very safe on campus. Despite it being an open campus, there is almost always security presence.
