SUNY Potsdam is a valuable college where there is always something going on for the students. They have so much to offer and it's a wonderful environment. More importantly, the education I'm receiving there is top notch!
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Don't get caught up in socializing too much that you forget about your studies! The work load is a slap in the face if you don't pay attention and evenly disperse your homework and studying. Also, don't stay in the library all day and miss out on the great social events going on!
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The professors are all pretty great from what I've experienced! Yes, you're going to have to work in college in each and every class so don't think otherwise. But if you keep up with your work then you'll get by just fine. Just push to succeed!
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Dorm life is really very great! Living next to people makes for new friends and a great experience. It isn't always to cleanest depending on where you live, but always acceptable standards, I think. And SUNY Potsdam is building and redoing it's entire campus so it's soon to have all beautiful and brand new dorms!
Describe the food and dining at your college.
SUNY Potsdam has AMAZING food choices. I eat better there than I do at home! From Dexter's Cafe to Lehman Buffet you're sure to have a unique and delicious dining experience.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There are always things to do in Potsdam. Campus is always holding events for students whether it's a sports game, a Crane concert, or a party at Hurley's. There's something literally almost everyday of the week to do for fun. Outside of campus there's also a cheap movie theater, some shops, and some more food places if you ever feel like switching it up. There's tons to do and tons of fun to be had!
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
With SUNY tuition, Potsdam is definitely a smart choice to save money. With professors from so many different backgrounds you get a unique experience learning from quite prestigious professors. They're also very dedicated to what they do, and they're always willing to help with any problem you have.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Around Halloween there's always a haunted Knowles tour where the Knowles North Resident Assistants have a tour around campus share scary (and very possibly true) experiences that have happened to them personally or they've heard from friends. There are plenty of other traditions that are too long to list on here!
Which types of students will excel at your college?
SUNY Potsdam is great for any type of student. It's great for those focused only on studies with great educational experiences. It's great for those musicians, whether or not you're in Crane with many opportunities to show off your stuff. It's great for sport players and watchers, those who like to be apart of any and all types of clubs, outcasts, fit- ins, and with how cold it can get in Potsdam, it's also great for Eskimos!
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There are a gratuitous amount of clubs and activities! From gaming to business to organization to religion to a cappella, there are really too many to even name. And the great thing is that they're all very flexible so you can absolutely be in more than one!
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Greek life isn't the biggest deal at SUNY Potsdam, but a great experience! They're all very fun and contribute a lot to campus and society. If you feel up to it, RUSH and have a great time with your new brothers/ sisters!
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
I always feel very safe on campus. University Police are there to serve you and keep everything under control.
