Alfred University

I like the small-town feeling; it helps you to concentrate on what you have to do. It was meant to be that I ended up there.

you'll want to get outta here

Unless you're a local, I don't see a reason to come here (unless you're an engineer or art student). It's way to isolated, the weather sucks, the people get old and boring and seem to forget they're in "college". If you like small environment, football, drinking and hooking up, this is the place for you. It has a good program oriented towards engineering, but even that can't make me stay here for another year. I hate it here, but it might be different for you, I think going to a state school is the better option. It is what it is.

Alfred has given me everything it...

Alfred has given me everything it could since I was a sophomore. By the end of my second year, I was seriously thinking about transferring, but never did. Entering my senior year, I deeply regret my decision. Despite what people tell you, school name recognition is important, and no one in Rochester even knows about Alfred. Going to school in a bigger city will allow easier networking and internship opportunities.
