My professors are so incredibly supportive and helpful! They want everyone to succeed. They also push you and challenge you to do your absolute best. The community is very welcoming. The school is small, so you get a lot of one on one time with professors. They actually know you as a person. The admissions team is great! There are a lot of opportunities for students in need such as HEOP and CSTEP. There are a lot of very valuable services available to students that are free, such as tutoring, career planning and health programs. I really enjoying having 2 campuses, one in Albany and one in Troy. Overall, I love my school and I’m so happy that I choose to study there!
I was confused upon what to decide with my life and thats when I thought I would choose Nursing. And once and for all I understood that the best college that offers nursing was Sage even the Google confirms it! I am so happy and thrilled to be here in this college that has an amazing teaching faculty. Also Sage college offers great help to all students and you can rely on them anytime you want. I am actually happy choosing Sage colleges and though I am a commuter my friends say that they have good dorm and housing facilities and the food in Troy campus is simply awesome. Sage also offers many activities like athletics, sage engaged etc.So happy to be a part of this college.
The Sage Colleges is a very good school. I was a transfer from the University at Buffalo. The class size is much smaller, the professors actually know your name. My advisor is great! She is kind, knowledgeable and very helpful in keeping my schedule on track...I do not have to take classes that I do not need for my degree program. The campus is beautiful ,the administration is helpful and friendly, students are friendly, helpful and welcoming.
