Review of Russell Sage College

from Watervliet, NY

Describe your college in three sentences.

Russell Sage College is a very small school allowing for great one-on-one with the professors. The campus is historic and very beautiful. Russell Sage takes very good care of the students interests providing events every day.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Understand that the college is a small community of people (students and faculty) so it is not possible to hide quietly in the back of the class without any attention. Russell Sage College, in particular, is a woman's college and that aspect alone provides an interesting class dynamic. I believe they are quite selective, but if you really want to go there, I would suggest doing the interview. It is not required so many do not, but it will help you stand out.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

The course work is a little more demanding than my previous state university, but the quality of the professors makes the classes easier.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

They focus on healthy alternatives in the dining hall at Russell Sage, but you can still get chicken strips, pizza, sandwiches, and soup.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

Russell Sage has many events going on throughout the week. From plays, carnivals, speakers, and movie nights, to group trips to the city.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Russell Sage is a great school for the woman who wants to learn wants to learn what it is to excel as a woman as well as future leaders.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

The campus is one of the safest that I have seen.
