Skidmore College

FOOD IS AMAZING

This may just be because I'm a swimmer, but the food in Saratoga Springs is incredible. Try Sushi Thai (I'm addicted), Pizza 7, Fornos, Chiante, pretty much everything.

They Care Alot...But Aren't the Brightest Bunch.

This year I had a sinus infection- easily treatable, that turned into a massive infection and led to me spending 2 weeks at Saratoga Hospital (which is an incredible hospital btw). The nurses care so much at Skidmore but just are missing marbles and prefer to put a bandaid on a cut that desperately needs stitches (figuratively speaking). Campus safety is the same way but they break up parties and are much less intelligent then Health Services and some are ex-marine so you really don't want to get caught partying. You always feel safe walking around at night, even as a single female.

Enjoyable- but Apparently This Was a Mild Winter

This winter wasn't bad except when leaving a party or library at night, then it was freaking cold (this coming from a Floridian so take it as you will). There wasn't a blizzard this year and it was beautiful, I pray that it stays like this all 4 years...but I doubt it. When it does snow campus safety and maintenance clear up walkways and salt for ice.
