Review of The College of Saint Rose

from Brooklyn, NY

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

Classroom settings are ideal for having a average to good relationship with your professor. Most classrooms have about 20 to 30 people in average. The professors I have had so far seem to enjoy their topics, which means that students have to work harder to pay attention and be on top of their work. One should expect to have a good work ethic, because the majority of the classes seem to not be easy to pass. There will be all-nighters, struggles, and lots of tutoring.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

The housing is not your average looking dorm. When I first visited the campus, I was fascinated to see that the dorms look like older houses renovated. You can tell there is much history behind these houses. The two major freshman houses are very different. Bru hall is very large but very old. It is like a mansion that needs much fixing. A downfall is that is not a close to campus as most students will like. Lima hall on the other hand is near the campus green and much more recent in structure and technology. However, there are fewer students and way more girls than boys that live there(one floor of boys to four floor of girls). The good thing is that dorms are kept clean and in good condition!

Describe the food and dining at your college.

The food is pretty good. It's not always superb, but it is not bad. It has its days where the variety is great, especially when parents and other visitors come. Most do not finish the meals of their meal plan by the end of the semester. The college also offers other options such as a burger store, a convenience store for common food and goods, etc. Most kids will miss their food from home, so appreciate what you have now!

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

Greek Life Is Very Rare On Campus. There is no sign of any fraternities or sororities on campus. However, the lack of Greek life does not take away from the liveliness of campus and availability of activities to do.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

One can feel extremely safe on campus. There are always alert security guards walking around campus and guarding the dorms. Not only do they do their job well, most of them are quite friendly. However, when walking on the outskirts of campus, one has to just be wise and never walk alone. Security is available to escort you wherever, if you feel unsafe.
