Overall ExperienceWhat's This?

Throughout your Alfred experience, you or someone close to you will utter the phrase, “I’ve got to get out of here.” Students at AU make threats to transfer at least twice daily. Still very few actually do. Many of us stay for an extra year. Some of us stay for grad school, and a good portion of our staff are also AU alum. Why?

We’re spoiled! It’s comfortable here, the financial aid is great, and many of our professors are also great mentors. Who would want to leave all that personal attention and a close-knit group of friends to just be a number at another university with a better football team?

AU students will disparage their time at AU with venom. When asked to appraise their experience honestly, however, they’ll shrug their shoulders and admit that Alfred has helped them to learn and grow as an individual. While some individuals transfer, the majority of students who chose Alfred know deep down that they couldn’t be anywhere else.

Totally Useless

All they do is give you aspirin and never schedule appointments at nearby clinics!
