Geneseo accepts a lot of academically successful students and education is superb. Geneseo is a liberal arts school so aside from picking from one of many diverse majors, there is a general education requirement. Thus, Geneseo students have an intensive learning program for their major, but also are required to take classes in almost every field of education making them more well rounded. Classes are challenging, but the professors really prepare you for the real world and many classes change the way you think about life in general. It is very common for students to continue discussions from in class even after the class is over and they are walking back to the dorms. Geneseo is also unique in that class sizes are very small and relationships with other students and professors is very easy to do. For mainly freshman one or two classes may have about a hundred students, but by the second week if one were to raise their hand the professor would be able to call on them by name. The professors are dedicated to their students and are always there for advice and support in class and outside of class.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
Geneseo is great in that there is a place for everyone. Geneseo is the type of school where by the end of the first break in October, freshmen tell their parents they cannot wait to go back home. School is part of everyday life but it is the things that happen outside of class that make the experience. There are so many opportunities to make friends and find something to do on campus every day. There's a lot of good options for food, the residence halls are really nice to live in and the dorms themselves are nicely sized. The campus is small enough that walking to class isn't a big deal and if walking isn't your thing then the public transportation is really accommodating to most people's class schedules. Every aspect of Geneseo life can be praised, the only downside is the weather. But that is upstate New York, and nothing a good winter coat can't fix.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Geneseo is one of the few schools that one can receive a stellar education to rival small liberal arts colleges for the price of a public state school. Geneseo has produced a lot of distinguished alumni and an education and experience from here as a whole is priceless. So to be able to receive all of that for such a low cost gives it great value.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Really have a well rounded resume. Test scores and a high GPA are very important because Geneseo holds its students to high standards, however grades alone are not a guarantee to get in. Geneseo is filled with students who have diverse interests so join a lot of clubs and sports. Also have community service and work experience or any combination of those and demonstrate leadership and dedication to whatever you are passionate about.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Geneseo is great for students who really care about receiving a great education, but also like to get involved in things going on around campus. People in Geneseo have so many diverse interests, so really anyone will fit in and enjoy the Geneseo experience.
