The Fountain
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.

Not Bad, Pretty Convenient
CDTA busses are free with your SUNY Card and can take you pretty much anywhere you need to go, if not, there are plenty of taxis to call or already waiting

College Prowler guides are in the hands of students throughout the entire process. Because you can't make student-written guides without the students, we have students at each campus who write, edit, and survey their peers for every guide that we publish.
