Farmingdale has become a renown SUNY institution- coming here was a last minute decision, but one of the best decisions I've made for my future. Farmingdale is doing an exceptional job at readying me for the future in my hopes of being a psychiatrist. Between the small class sizes to interact at a personal level with my professors, the great opportunities on campus to get involved and make your mark and to start new traditions and just learning about the real world has made Farmingdale a great place for me to continue my education and to ready me to go even further.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Keep your options open, but definitely consider choosing Farmingdale. Work hard in your senior year, take AP courses and CLEPs if your school offers. The institution is becoming more and more selective every year, especially for our popular majors i.e.: nursing, psychology, bioscience, business management and computer science.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
It's college, it's supposed to be challenging and nothing will be hand delivered to you. Farmingdale has definitely shown me great challenges especially in the sciences, mathematics and surprisingly, the humanities. Designate a day to study each of your classes you chose to take for the term, relax, give yourself time to decompose from coursework.
The Greenley Hall library and student success center is a great resource to get together with classmates and form study groups and to even receive on-site tutoring in almost every area the College offers! (Free!)

Describe the food and dining at your college.
We offer newly modern and updated dining for the students at Farmingdale. Between casual style burger and fries to Starbucks, chipotle style dining, there is a great variety of meals to dine on here!
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
While Farmingdale is predominately a commuter school, there is definitely a lot to do and to take advantage of. While Farmingdale is conveniently located on the Nassau/Suffolk border, only forty five minutes away from Manhattan by bus or train, the trip-county area has a lot to offer. You have Adventureland theme park, so many restaurants and shopping centers, not to mention the beach is right down the road! (On every side of the island).
Get involved on campus, join a club, heck even start a club!
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
While I am here on a scholarship, Farmingdale's cheap in-state tuition is definitely worth the price. I know for the three years I've been here so far I've gotten what I would expect out of a college experience.
