Off Campus Dining in Downtown Albany

As far as what surrounds the main campus, there is not much off-campus dining to choose from. Although, if a student has a car or lives closer to the downtown campus, there are many more options. For those who live downtown, you have your basic pizza shops, a few bars, a few Chinese food restaurants within walking distance. The farther downtown you go, the more options you have. On Lark St., in downtown Albany there are renowned restaurants, even some with good food and not high prices.

Strictness

Campus police are very considerate of college students and their social lives on campus. They show great respect to all who they come in contact with. They make sure we understand the social and campus rules.

Easiest Way Aroung

Transportation is free and easy for the students at UA. As long as you grab the right time, there are 2 easy places on campus to grab a bus and head anywhere you wanna go! Only rough thing is the schedule is off but you get used to it, and doesn't matter much when youre drunk!
