SUNY at Albany

Pros: large, things to do downtown, some good classes and teachers
Cons: large, some huge classes and indifferent teachers

As I wrap up my first year at the University at Albany (UAlbany) I've been thinking about my overall experience here. While there have been negatives (enough to the point that I was seriously considering transferring), there are also many benefits to...

Pros: Good Education And Opportunities
Cons: Red tape, substandard living quarters

After reading through almost all of the Epinions on my old Alma Matta I decided it was time to write. Most of the comments were written by people with a poor experience in one class, with one professor or with simply one part of campus life. I read a...

Pros: some of the professors, the students, price
Cons: everything else

I am very disappointed in this school. There are people who told me that UAlbany is really good. And it is if you go there knowing everything there is about Psychology. The teacher go very quickly and you need to be on your toes. They tell you their...

Pros: Not unreasonable, considering price and variety
Cons: I didn't enjoy it either, I admit

When I was a student at SUNY Albany we used to make jokes about the food in the cafeteria. Reading the other epinions in this category really brings back memories for me. I completed my undergraduate degree in 1989 and have ten years worth of...

Pros: None
Cons: Professors who are extremely apathetic to the students needs, experience as a whole

I am extremely disappointed in the one class I took at SUNY Albany, and I can assure you that I will never take another class at this institution. The class I'm referring to is Computer Science 201N, which I took this past month (May 30 until July 5)....

Pros: Big party school
Cons: Horrible living accomodations, poor professors

It is rare that I find myself so eager to post a negative review about an item. However, in this case I find myself hopeful that this review will make someone take a good look into this university before making a decision to attend. First, let me say...

Pros: academics, price, social life
Cons: weather, look

I am a student at Suny Albany and this school is definitely one of the best state schools in New York and possibly in the East Coast...


When I first arrived here I was homesick, but with all of the great activities and people to occupy...

Pros: Plentiful
Cons: Bad tasting food, lines for the bathroom

Oh my god, please don't get me started on SUNY cafeteria food. My suggestion: get off campus as soon as possible. I am a junior and lived on state quad for two years, in the process of putting on 20 pounds, I experienced some of the worst food on the...

Pros: Frozen Yogurt is good
Cons: Nothing else is

Food is essential to life. SUNY Albany obviously doesn't care for life too much with what they serve. The food is terrible. That is the only way to put it. The do have the variety with burgers and pasta every night and the special. The only meal...

Pros: Girls, Girls, Girls; easy to get in
Cons: disgruntled bouncers, overcrowdedness

If you go to SUNY Albany, you have been to the Lamppost/Oasis, or "The Post" as its more commonly known. 21 to drink? Ha! I'm sure if you went to the door with a piece of paper saying you were over 21, you would get in, with a "You...

Pros: many clubs, easy to start new ones
Cons: financing from SA is distributed rather unevenly

SUNY Albany has many clubs and activities for undergraduate students, and its very easy to start new ones. They do come at a price, literally. Added onto tuition is a student activity fee, but since my parents paid my tuition, I think it was money well...

Pros: Good location, excellent value, amazing students
Cons: Grey skies, bad food.

As a current junior at SUNY Albany and an extremely active member of the University, I am proud of my choice of Universities.
I am currently involved in various State and National programs and organizations that have taken me all over the...

Pros: we are good
Cons: we havent won the title yet

We are team Tizaj. We play in the intrumural softball league at the State University of Albany. The league is run by commissioner Michael Greenman and he does an excellent job. The umpires are good too. Now back to our team. I bat leadoff and play...

Pros: Good faculty, diverse student body
Cons: Poor administration

As a recent graduate, I wish I could say that SUNY Albany is a great school, but I just can't bring myself to do it. The only reason I would recommend that anyone attend this university, at least as an undergraduate, is that the tuition is cheap....

Pros: convenient to classes
Cons: small, especially if you don't want a roommate

The academic center of the university is surrounded by four quads, or concrete platforms covered with groups of dormitories and a cafeteria. Typically, you will have several rooms each connecting to the same 'suite'. Most suites have their own...
