I ended up transferring from this school. Academically, this school is great with very passionate professors and students. It's well recognized in the environmental field and the price is great. However, if you're looking for your typical exciting college experience this isn't the place for you. The school is very small and cliques form fast and are very exclusive. There is no party scene. The surrounding area is terrible especially for someone who enjoys the outdoors. People are so desperate to be in nature many people end up hanging out in the graveyard nearby. Unless you have a car your trapped in the falling apart, garbage filled city with crime all around. Highly recommend joining the Syrcause's outing club if you go here and like to be outside.
I absolutely love ESF. The smallness of the classes and the campus overall feels amazing and very tight nit; I love feeling like I belong here. And I speak from experiences having been to over 3 different college campuses in the past due to transferring. The only thing I do not like is the location surrounding it; Syracuse is a very depressed city, and it shows. A lot of abandoned houses, and I've heard gunshots before when coming home from campus (that was only once so far though.)
I loved the experiences that I had at SUNY-ESF. The students and teachers are both passionate about saving the environment, and there are many options for both hard science and creative classes. The teachers are up to date with current happenings and legislation, and knowledge taught is both detailed and comprehensive. There is also the option to take any Syracuse University classes due to their partnership, which is basically getting private university teaching at public university cost.
