A good time, and you might learn something

by ferlinghetti , Feb 03 '00
Pros: small community, nice library, pool, good college town.
Cons: If you get sick of drinking, you have to actively look for other ways to have fun.
I personally believe that an education is what you make of it. Sure, some private schools have professors who are world renowned novelists or chemists, but chances are, you wont' see them in class much because they're too busy signing books or making...

Pathetic Freshmen

by wallace118 , May 10 '00
Pros: location, one-on-one with professors
Cons: --
As i sit here and read the reviews from those in the classes of 2002 and 2003, I laugh to myself knowing quite well they won't be there until then.

Yes, there is no escaping the fact that it has been deemed a 'party school,' but if checked...

Stoneonta

by RandyRhyne , Jan 31 '00
Pros: Lots of bars and parties
Cons: Tough guys
Oneonta has one of the best party atmospheres of any school I've been to. I think the majority of the people there are on something when they go out. They have a bunch of bars in their downtown area that are all in walking distance from one another, so...

Don't come here for the food!!!!

by samiboo31 , Jan 25 '00
Pros: Great for education, making friends, getting away from home (unless you live nearby)..Perfect for Long Islanders who want to be "Just Far Enough Away From Home"
Cons: Not much to do on weekends, "Middle of Nowhere" atmosphere, horrible food
I am a freshman here at SUNY Oneonta, aka: Stoneonta. We get a bad reputation mostly because of our location (we are up in virtually the middle of no-where, or the Boondocks as they are so eloquently called). I chose to metriculate here because it has a...

Pros: If you have the meal plan you don't have to worry about paying when you eat
Cons: Pasta everyday, unidentified meat product.
If you decide to get the Freshman meal plan for suny Oneonta you won't have to worry about gaining the freshmen 15. The meal card allows you to eat at Wilsbach and Hulbert. Those two dining halls you don't have to pay to eat at. THe other dining halls...

Pros: People who understand and want to be there for you
Cons: it rains and snows a lot
I presently attend Oneonta and love it. My major is human ecology or communication and advertising for fashion. I didn't know quite what to think when I first came to school here. I didn't know if there was going to be any support or if there was...

W.O.N.Y. -- Life After Studying

by ORourke1 , May 28 '00
Pros: Tight-knit Community feel. Great music

When I first went to SUCO, I was a silly kid who was going to college just because I thought that was what I should be doing. i always felt that I should have been left back a year because of a feeling of insecurity. This feeling continued when I went...

Getting Involved on Campus

by BigRed712 , Mar 04 '00
Pros: beautiful environment, high girl to guy ratio, small classes, friendly professional staff
Cons: dry campus, limited parking, food isn't tasty,
I feel that the social experiences at this college are probably one of the best in the state of New York. People are constantly out partying and having a good time. It is a small town with not much to do except go to a bar or a party downtown. One...

it's a party school but it isn't the worst

by Kristy18 , Sep 26 '00
Pros: fun school as long s you know when to party and when to do your work
Cons: pressure to go out on the weekends and party
Whenever you hear someone talk about Oneonta they are saying "Don't come back from college an alcoholic" or they say "Your going to stoneyonta". Oneonta does have a lot of parties. I can say this from experience because I do go out...

by casper9068 , Dec 14 '00
Pros: great social scene

Oneonta State College AKA SUCO or Suny Oneonta has got to be one of the biggest joke colleges in NY state. I personally know more people than I can cont on both of my hands who have dropped out of SUNY Oneonta because of either low grades. Although they...
