Overall ExperienceWhat's This?

Essentially, everyone who attends Albany, whether it's their dream school or their last choice, seems to have a positive experience. Albany has something to offer everyone; the endless assortment of different clubs and organizations provides diverse options for all. The experiences that the University has to offer students are almost unfathomable, with the school providing programs such as study abroad, internships, and many job opportunities. Not only does the University create a well-rounded education for the future, but it also establishes lifelong friendships. The people around you will soon become like family and will help shape your college years into some of the best of your life.

College is certainly what you make of it. If you don’t grab opportunities, work at your goals, ask for help, reach out to others or get involved, college will be a total drag. Fortunately, Albany provides you with a base to start from and allows you to work your way into making your college experience the best it can be.

Intermediate With Occuring Changes

The school in general is beautiful. I find that the campus is easy to navigate and the scenery is gorgeous. One of my favorite places is the Science Library believe it or not. It might not be the newest library compared to many other universities but it looks modern and comfortable. You get to see Indian Quad, the freshman side and Dutch quad, the upper class side. It mixes the people and the classes, which in my opinion is best of both worlds. The athletic center is big and has one location for everything which is convenient. Everything that goes on with student association tends to be in Campus Center which brings everyone together. You can just walk by and see someone without planning it.

OK but Could Be Better

Variety of places to eat. Dining food gets repetitive.
