Although my classes have been difficult for introductory level courses, I have definitely learned a great deal of information. In high school, I struggled with Physics but here I find it easier to understand. My teachers have studied at prestigious universities and have actually worked in their fields. They have a lot to offer their students and are always willing to set up appointments if you do not fully understand the information.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I haven't had a chance to become involved as much as I would like. However, this is not because there is not plenty to do here. The Student Association has activities to attend every night of the week. During the weekends I can watch a sporting event, go to see a free movie at the red dragon theater, or catch the bus to southside for some shopping. There are multiple intramural sports you can participate in. I am in the Honors Program and also hope to become a Resident Advisor sometime in the near future.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
I was considering many other schools but in the end I chose Oneonta mainly because of the price. I never really considered coming to a state school but I don't regret it at all. Some of the programs here, like the music industry program for instance, are very well-renowned. I am getting virtually the same education as my friends who are paying three times as much as I am. There is also a small student fee upon attending, but this fee is well-worth the price as it supports and allows the students to attend events cheaply or free of charge.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Any student considering Oneonta should absolutely visit the campus. During your venture to the valley, don't forget to check out the actual town itself. Downtown Oneonta is very quaint and says a lot about the townspeople here. Do not be afraid to ask questions on the tour, after all, you could possibly end up living here for multiple years of your life. Base your college choice on things that are important to you. Do you mind the unpredictable weather? Do they offer the major you are interested in? You should definitely check out where your future classes are located on campus, it will really help you realize whether or not you can picture yourself living and learning at this college.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Oneonta is a great place for students considering majoring in art or music. The professors are accomplished and the city of Oneonta has a great music scene as well. Students who are interested in fashion but do not yet wish to move to the city can do really well here. Oneonta has a cooperative program with FIT. Education is also another popular major here at SUNY Oneonta. My friends in the department have nothing but good things to say about their experiences in all of their education classes.
