Academics at SUNY University at Albany

Help and Resources for Students' Success

I am a first year Biochemistry major at the University at Albany and so far I am very impressed with the Academics; mostly because of the helps offered by the professors and the teacher assistance in any event that the teacher is unavailable. The first days of classes, the professors make office hours known to students. For lecture classes, almost every professor has his/her notes online(Blackboard or Electronic Reserve); home works, sample/practice tests, and reviews are located online also. If you do not understand any assignment or topic, no need to worry as there are study groups and many resources available to help students succeed.

A-

House Parties Rock

Every weekend there are parties in the campus' ballroom; no need to worry about music because the best DJ's are there to entertain you with the best songs on the hit list. If you would prefer to leave campus, buses run from and to campus every thirty minutes, or you can call the cab to go to the most awesome house parties house parties. The campus never sleeps; you will hear people outside till morning, especially on the weekends.

Drug Safety at SUNY University at Albany

C+

Rules Are Made to Be Broken

There are rules concerning drugs and alcohol usage on campus while the Resident Assistants adds additional rules that must be followed. Its not a big concern but I see people passed out most of the times, especially on the weekends. Drugs are huge but cigarettes are everywhere. Choose your friends, don't let them choose you.

Guys & Girls at SUNY University at Albany

A+

Good Looks

Beautiful girls; no matter the weather they still dress sexy. I wonder if they don't feel the cold. There are also some classy girls, dresses and act decently. The guys that are the workout nuts always try their best to show of their muscles and abs. The dress styles of everyone differs vastly; guys in suits, skinny jeans, etc. Girls in short shorts, and anything sexy.

Athletics at SUNY University at Albany

B+

Good Sports

Varsity sports are big; especially Soccer, Basketball, Track and Field, Lacrosse, and of course Football. I don't think much of the football or soccer stadiums but the lacrosse stadium is awesome and new and so is the basketball's (SEFCU Arena). Besides the varsity, intramural sports are very active.

Greek Life at SUNY University at Albany

C

Not Like in Movies

No biggie. There are lots of choices to choose from if you want to be part of the Greek life. Just know that its not like what you see in movies. They are pretty responsible and take brotherhood seriously; helping each other academically. Besides the parties and their clothing, you wont know who's in it or not in it.

Computers at SUNY University at Albany

A+

Library Flooded With Computers

I am not familiar with the other libraries, but the main library (one of the largest in the country) has so many computers in the basement,and all the floors. You could even borrow a laptop from the counter if you don't want to use a desktop. the Science Library also has lots of computers. WiFi is everywhere that bears the campus' name.

Weather at SUNY University at Albany

B+

Unpredictable Weather; but No Need to Worry About It

The weather is very unpredictable. Last time I remembered, I was playing soccer like mid-October, it was very hot and then it suddenly started snowing. One minute its raining and the next sun is shining with random snows. No need to worry about the weather because classes are a few steps away from the dorms. Once you are in one class, you don't even have to get outside to go to your other classes because there are tunnels leading to every class building. No need to really worry about the weather.
