Review of SUNY College at Potsdam

from Macedon, NY

Describe your college in three sentences.

Great school full of friendly people. I was nervous about being so far away from home, but all the people here can be truly wonderful. The programs that are set up for freshman are brilliant.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Try out a FIG if there is one that's close to what you want to do. You'll meet a lot more people with similar interest to you and also be living with only freshman, which can be a big plus. Since you all are in the same boat.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

The freshman dorms are really nice. Then for your second year there's a wide range of rooms to choose from.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

PACES does a great job providing something for everyone, even vegetarians and vegans. Also people who cannot have gluten.

There's something here everynight of the week! Also Hurley's in town has a great band competition which is alot of fun to go to.

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

As a state school it doesn't cost as much as other schools, however I feel like I get more for my money here then I would at the private schools I had been also looking at when applying.
