Review of SUNY at Fredonia

from Rensselaer, NY

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

I am currently a freshman and as such I have had a lot of introductory classes. This meaning that some of my more basic classes are quite easy. However, the more specific focused classes here are great. They teach you everything possible about the topic, the classes here are very content based. It is safe to say that Fredonia will give you an adequate education. For people with a strong background in science the mandatory introductory courses will be a little monotonous as they go over things that many people already know. From the introductory courses the classes get better and more focused.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

I love it here at Fredonia. The campus is very friendly and a great place to live. It is basically High School Musical, there are usually kids playing instruments in the Commons, and when the weather is nice it is common for there to be people singing. As this is seen as a music college a lot of the singers are quite good. The weather may be a problem for those who do not like the cold. I happen to love the cold so it's perfect for me.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

A SUNY college is perfect for a bachelor's degree if you are planning on going on for higher education. You get the same education for a fourth of the cost. I highly recommend Fredonia for scientists, or others, who are going on to higher education. Also, in general the money pays off, as the tuition is really low and the teaching is great.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Make sure you like or can deal with cold weather. Be open, people here are willing to make new friends and you should not doubt that. This school is really friendly and a great place to live. I cannot imagine a better place to go to school. The small campus is also awesome as you don't have to worry about being lost in the crowd, and classes are really close!

Which types of students will excel at your college?

People who like music or are music students. I am a science student and the balance I get here of arts and science is perfect. There's enough of everything. People who like cold and people who like small towns, as Fredonia is very small.
