This school in phenomenal in it's academics. There are so many options and you could choose to learn about just about anything. When I chose this school I wasn't 100% sure what I wanted to do and they just had so many learning opportunities that I couldn't pass up the opportunity. Now I have fantastic teacher's and have learned so much from them since I have been here I know what I want to do. Not to mention the advisors that we have are amazing and they are extremely helpful!
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
There are over 18,000 undergraduate students which makes for a very diverse living environment. I love being around this many different kinds of people and if you enjoy a good time and diversity then I suggest SUNY Albany. There is never a dull moment whether it be good or bad and it's always fun.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Compared to other school's that I looked at this one was my best option financially. Out of state tuition is only a little over 24,000 and in state tuition is a little over 17,000 which is not that much in comparison to other schools. Not to mention the fact that you are getting the same, if not a better education than a private school for a fraction of the price. The only reason private schools charge so much is because they have smaller amounts of people in classrooms. Even though there may be 500 people in a class at a time you are still getting a fantastic education if you pay attention and do what needs to get done.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
I suggest that if you are going to apply that you have more than 2 recommendation letters, a great personal essay and decent SAT scores. I applied for early acceptance and I had 6 recommendation letters. 3 personal and 3 professional. I believe that the more things that are said good about you by other people the better the chances are that they will see you for something other than just your GPA.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
I believe that this school is fantastic for people that may not necessarily know what they want to do yet. There are majors and minors in just about everything you can think of. You can even come here as a Pre-health or Pre-law student. There isn't much here that you can't do. And it is a lot cheaper than most other schools so if you want a great education for less monet and a lot of options SUNY Albany is the place to go. Not to mention the fact that there are over 200 clubs and organizations on campus so if you are the kind of person who likes to get involved and keep yourself busy you will always have something to do and you would be surprised at some of the clubs that we have here. Things you would never even think of. Suny Albany is for people that are willing to integrate themselves into a very diverse place and work hard to get where they want.
