Surrounding Greenery and Effort to Be Green

My school is really great about being green. There are recycling bins in every single hall, and they are regularly taken out. There are two facilities on campus to return cans to for money to help out with college costs. There is even a green dorm, and environmental house. There is even a Green Alfred club that regularly organizes events such as a stuff swap to reduce waste and help out those who maybe can't afford winter boots or microwaves.

Off-Campus Dining at Alfred University

A+

Not a Whole Lot, but It's All Delicious

It's a very small school, in a very small town. So the choices are very limited, but I suppose that just means that each place has to try harder to get students to come in, instead of driving to the next town over. I have never had an iced chai latte quite like the one at Terracotta, and nothing can beat the soba noodles in Nana's Japanese cafe, who has a board with advertisements in the restaurant. The best one was her offering to teach Japanese. The Jet is the go to place when you have your parents over. I'm not flush with cash, being in college, but I can eat at any one of these, and what makes it better is that everything is within a five minute walk.

Parking at Alfred University

B+

Expensive, but Parking Is Everywhere

The permit cost was a bit expensive, but you can park almost anywhere around campus. Parking is a little sparse around the dorms, but otherwise it's good. Technically you don't need a car, with your ID you can ride the bus to the nearest chain grocery stores, and there's a mom and pop grocery shop just off campus, called Kinfolk. A car is really only needed if you live close enough to visit family. Everything on campus is within walking distance. If you just want to get around campus, a bike is better, and there are bike hubs everywhere on campus!
