Review of SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry
from Syracuse, NY
Describe your college in three sentences.
The small scale of the school allows you to get to know your professors personally. They are always willing and available to meet if you are not understanding the course material. I am hardly ever in a lecture room with more than 30 students.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Prepare for the cold winters.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The classes are intended to be challenging so that SUNY ESF graduates excel in real world situations. The school has pushed me to work hard more than I ever received in any other institution.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
The school just recently built dorms for the SUNY ESF students. We had previously been placed in Syracuse University dorms.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Just recently got our own student center with a cafe in it - Trailhead Cafe. Otherwise Syracuse University offers meal plans for SUNY students. The dining halls are always available and offer a wide selection of food.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
The Westcott Theatre is within walking distance of the university. If live bands aren't your thing there are always fraternity parties, bars on Marshall street, or clubs downtown.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Tuition at SUNY ESF is a third of those paying at Syracuse University, yet we are still able to reap most of the benefits. It has a small school feeling yet has all the amenities of a large school.
