It is a wonderful school with great people who I know are forever friends. The school fosters education to its max as well as intergrating sports and socialization in. It is everything I dreamed a college to be.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Be open minded and willing to get involved. There is plenty to do to keep busy. Stay at school on the weekends to get to know people and you will enjoy the whole college experience
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
It is a difficulty school especially in the major I am pursuing. You need to find the time to study and balance all that is going on. It can be done but you do have to be disciplined.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Dorms could use a makeover but they are okay especially if your friends are close by. I believe dorms are dorms not much you can do to them but the people in them make them great.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Food and dining is okay not like home but okay. I am satisfied. I do wish we had something late at night when studying like a small coffee shop that would be helpful.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Manhattan is our playground and is very easy to get to so we can do anything we like. We also have Van Cortland Park and may local shops. I am never board and always find things to do even if no one is around. There also is the gym no go to place.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
This school for me is everything I could want. I come from rural America and was worried about being in the city. The campus is beautiful with a lot of green space making me feel at home. I also feel very safe here with on entrance to the campus and security there at all times. The rest of the campus is closed of to the public and the Hudson borders and protects it on the back side.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There are many sports to participate in and being a DIII school many opportunities for those of us who really enjoy sports but would not have been able to play DI nor wanted to put in the time commitment to them. This is a very happy alternative for me. It has kept me involved as I was all my life and had kept me very active.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Security at the only gate all the time and in each of the dorms. They are friendly as well and will to assist as needed. I never have felt unsafe or at risk.
