Review of SUNY College of Technology at Canton

from Heuvetlton, NY

Describe your college in three sentences.

SUNY Canton's main campus facilities are incorporated into the side of a hill making almost all window a pleasant view. The staff and the students here are intuitive and pleasant. Ethnic diversity at SUNY Canton is also a big factor when considering the school, with an overwhelming population of out of state and country students you are bound to find many interesting cultures.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Any prospective students looking at SUNY Canton should take into account that at Canton the curriculum is rigorous but not obscenely challenging. I would rate SUNY Canton for students ranging in the C to D category in their high school studies. Before actually going to any campus for the first semester students should preorder their books from amazon; campus bookstores are over priced.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

SUNY Canton's academic rigor is mediocre. Upper level courses are at most, only a minimum challenge for myself. I am enrolled in the liberal arts/business program, it's common knowledge that the campus's focused programs in medical and engineering degrees are more challenging comparatively.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

Dorm life is phenomenal. With a new residence hall that has over 300 suites all fitted with bathrooms, living rooms and kitchens college life is not just very comfortable but also affordable when considering similar costs to other colleges.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

Chaney Dining hall has a wide variety of foods to choose from. From a hamburger to an asian stir fry station there is an an exuberant verity and quality to choose.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

The small town of Canton is only about 45 minutes drive from the beautiful adirondack mountains where you can find things to do year round. One can ski or sled in the winter and in the summer trails are well kept. Another higher end, larger college Saint Lawrence University is right in the same small community as SUNY Canton making the town abundant with college food eateries. There are also a couple of well kept bars that cater to the student life by offering deals and student nights on the weekends.

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

My recommendation would be to start college at a community or state school and end up in a established university. To get the most bang for your buck it would be best to immerse yourself into the culture and atmosphere of college first. To jump right to a five star 40 grand tuition college is foolish because of the big risk of flunking out. Get your feet wet before you jump in!! SUNY Canton is an amazing college for freshman.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

SUNY Canton campus sits outside of Canton. it is integrated not only on a hill but also in a forest in parts. In order to get into town the campus has built a couple of bridges that crosses a river that is also incorporated into the scenery at the college. There are two bridges that that crosses the river through an island. This island can be scary at times at night coming back from eating or partying in town which in my opinion is a thrill and very fun.
