Senior: I absolutely love RIT! Although primarily a tech school, there are so many unique people and personalities that attend, proving that everybody will find their people here, no matter who you are. Additionally, there are so many programs to choose from, and many have notable alum within the department. For example, our College of Art and Design is best known for their successful photography programs and film and animation. There are so many ways to get involved in clubs and organizations! From athletics to greek life, gaming clubs, and many more. There is something for everybody. Also, RIT's co-op program makes it one of the best options for students who are career-driven. Having the opportunity to partake in 2 (or more) paid internships while still in college helps pave the way for the future and helps them put their best foot forward when looking for a job post-grad. In may cases, students are offered full-time positions before they even graduate! Going to RIT was the best decision!... Read 2,783 reviews

Graduate Student: I loved this college! I loved KBCC! Firstly, it has a great location with ample space for college events. The college organizes various events with games and food. Additionally, KBCC has its own art gallery where every student has the opportunity to showcase their artwork. The president may even purchase standout pieces for the KBCC art collection. The college also has a fantastic farming space where organizers grow vegetables for students, professors, and the cooking program. Volunteering is also encouraged. KBCC offers a diverse range of clubs, a great library with eight floors and a stunning view, as well as excellent sports facilities. The professors, advisors, and staff are supportive and understanding. I'm grateful for my positive learning experience at KBCC. I'm thankful for everything!... Read 763 reviews

Sophomore: Overall I liked QCC. They have lots of free programs to help students in STEM. There are opportunities for undergraduate research, on campus jobs, and free tutoring. Some clubs are good like the robotics club, but some are also bad. We had play with 4 puppies, pizza, and a carnival like event during a club once. The social life is what you make of it. QCC really helps to create a community and the campus is beautiful. I enjoyed most of my time in college and can’t wait to graduate debt free! Some advice - take classes at QCC while in high school or use CLEP and AP exams. You can accelerate your degree and save money or time. Also, summer STEM classes have their tuition waived for one class. Whichever CUNY you choose to go to, remember that you can always “epermit” a class at another CUNY. I used an epermit for a class at Queens College. I like QCC’s smaller classes. You get more help and guidance from professors. Most are nice and lenient. Rate my professor will be a lifesaver....

Freshman: CUNY Bronx Community College is honestly better than I had expected in my viewpoint! It’s a great school with people that provides such great opportunities to us students. I can genuinely tell that the staff members and (most) professors care about students’ successions. Additionally, the college supplies students with various academically supportive resources. Overall, it’s a fairly good option if you are looking for an all around good (2 year) college.... Read 1,066 reviews

Senior: Clinton Community offers many opportunities for students of all backgrounds. From industry-specific technical programs, to gen-ed, to one of the finest nursing programs in the country, Clinton has a lot to offer. They offer in-person, remote and hybrid learning platforms, and the staff is top-notch. Aside from the academics, the college is situated high on a bluff overlooking Lake Champlain, the Green Mountains of Vermont, and the Adirondack Mountains of NY, making it one of the most scenic higher learning facilities you will find....

Freshman: This college is good for people looking to save money but still get all of the required classes done so they can succeed with their full potential at other colleges. Overall the college remains clean and there are great people to connect with if you can approach and talk with people. The food is ok in the cafeteria but i would recommend against it most of the time unless you are trying to stay on campus. The classes are small most of the time and are better if you go in person rather than online learning, the online learning feels disconnected and is not easy to get things fixed in a timely manner when you run into issues online. In person the professors are really nice and easy to get along with while helping you reach your goals. Overall the environment at the north campus is great except for the outdated areas of the campus with a lot of construction going on most of the time so they can get everything updated. They are actively maintaining and continuing to grow the campus. Great... Read 578 reviews

Senior: I was immediately attracted to Alfred State the moment I stepped onto campus for its size. It is small but not too small. The class sizes are perfect. The professors are able to give you more personal attention than a lot of friends receive at other colleges. The professors at Alfred State want you to succeed and will help you achieve your goals. The support of my professors has given me more confidence in myself. There is always something to do at Alfred State. Fall and football is my favorite time of year. The team seems to unite the entire campus. There are many sports teams, clubs and general campus activities to participate in to meet new people and develop new friendships. The dorms are comfortable and are currently undergoing refurbishment, and the dining hall is top notch! There is something for everyone. I would certainly recommend Alfred State to anyone who is looking to further their education in a home anyway from home.... Read 541 reviews

Freshman: I came to Rockland Community College as a reverse transfer student after bad experiences at my previous 4-year university - and I could not be happier! I was instantly accepted by everyone, and the students are very supportive of one another. I have never met such an inclusive and diverse group of people. For a community college, I believe that the education I have received so far has been superb. Instead of memorizing a book, we are asked thought-provoking questions and I leave all of my classes inspired. I could not have asked for a better group of teachers. However, I wish there were more clubs and activities to take part in, but this is a small community college and almost everyone has a full-time / part-time job which takes up most of their time....

Sophomore: Throughout my time at SUNY Orange, I have learned much about myself and the necessary steps to reach my educational goals. This college is the perfect place for those looking to grow both academically and personally. Even though our campus community is rather small, students are given ample opportunities to connect with one another. At SUNY Orange there are many clubs and student involvement activities that guarantee students a safe and comfortable place to meet new people that share common interests. I have met many close friends through these organizations. The faculty and staff at SUNY Orange are always supportive of students and their goals. I am thankful that our professors are not only educators but mentors that guide their students through multiple aspects of life. Whether students are beginning or continuing their academic careers, SUNY Orange will provide an enriching and supportive environment in which to learn.... Read 343 reviews

Junior: Onondaga Community College has been preparing me to do well inside and outside the classroom. The knowledge that I gained from my Business Administration classes has tought me about leadership, financing, accounting, and entrepreneurship. My professor's are friendly, knowledgeable, and always available to help. After graduating I plan to work in leadership positions in areas such as retail, government, and education. My long term goal is to be able to start my own business. I am so proud to be a student at this college. I plan to take my credits and degree and transfer to another SUNY university to expand my knowledge in my career area further.... Read 713 reviews

  Rating 3.63 out of 5  466 reviews

Junior: Even though the past year has been tough because of COVID restrictions, I have had overall a pretty good time at West Point. The people here are mainly what makes it worth it--I've made friends that I know will last a lifetime. There are also endless opportunities (both during the semester and summer), especially if you want to get involved with research as an undergraduate. I have been able to publish my research in well known journals and conduct research alongside experts professors in the field I hope to pursue graduate school. The academics are not too hard, but it is very hit or miss in the core classes, because the instructors are randomly assigned and you don't get to choose. You might end up with someone not that great. However, in the upper division classes in the major, instructors are amazing and passionate about the subject. I really enjoy most parts about West Point and I look forward to commissioning as an army officer!... Read 466 reviews
