SUNY Fredonia is vibrant and beautiful. The professors here are dedicated and caring, the student body is welcoming and accepting, and the academics are challenging without being impossible. Fredonia is a fantastic educational value.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Apply for financial aid early! Scholarships are awarded based on supposed financial aid eligibility, and go on a first come, first serve basis. Be outgoing! Try new things and get involved-it makes your college experience much more exciting, and everyone here is friendly.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The classes are challenging--especially at the 300 and 400 level, but no so much so that you are guaranteed to fail. The professors are always willing to help, as long as you are willing to put in the effort.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
I didn't live on campus, so I have no opinion of dorm life here, but from what I've heard, most dorming experiences are good ones.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The food here is excellent, although some is rather overpriced. But there are a lot of options for dining on campus, not to mention off-campus options.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Downtown! Fredonia is most definitely a college town. There are bars, coffee shops and hangouts all over town, and plenty of shopping options, including T.J. Maxx, JCPenney, the notorious Walmart, and several independently owned shops.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
At Fredonia, you can get a great education at a low, state-school price. Although scholarships seem to be limited, the amount you would pay at a private school is completely outweighed by the value of Fredonia.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Well of course there is Maytum...the phantom, semi-circular building that was gutted for renovations and never completed. You will hear many a Maytum joke on this campus. There is a tower in the library used as a study area, which is really neat to hang out in if you need a quiet place or a place to meet up. And then...there is FredFest. The annual spring festival in which a famous musical guest is contracted to perform on campus. It is a huge party weekend, and always full of memories.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Great for music majors, education majors, and anyone looking for both a good education and a good time.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There are TONS of on campus clubs in all sorts of interest areas. There are several frats and sororities, as well as honor societies, service fraternities, and other smaller clubs. There really is something for everyone.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
The campus is very safe. There are very few incidents that occur on campus, and the campus is well-lit and equipped with several emergency call-boxes. There is an on-campus police force, and we are also in reach of three other law-enforcement agencies, and minutes from a hospital.
