A Gem Hidden Away Upstate
Alfred University has the prescence of an Ivy League School tucked away in a small valley in Upstate New York. Program offered range from Chinese to Equine Studies. Focus remains in the Art and Engineering programs, but recent accreditdation for the Business School and additions to the Performing Art Infastructure make them valid candidates for strongest program. The class size always puts you on a personal level with professors and the small-town atmosphere, makes it inevitable that you see them outside of class. People, professors and students alike, gravitate to Alfred because they are serious about their subjects and want the time to delve into them. I was surprised how often I would find out that a professor was recently publishing a book, a major scienctific article or showing their art in places like the MOMA in NYC.
