This school is incredible, the academics, the campus, the professors, it is all so amazing! This school is rigorous with its freshman, so don't expect to sail though classes easily. After that, the doors are wide open, and with all kinds of natural science going on, you can never be truly bored. Science heavy, but that is how I like it.
Review SUNY College of Environmental Science & Forestry
SUNY ESF is overall a great school. Everyone is generally enthusiastic and the atmosphere is always optimistic. It lacks in diversity, but this is slowly changing (SLOWLY). Administration actually listens to students and genuinely tries to improve things. Campus is small and can be cliquey, but not competitive. Students are always willing to help one another. The school has a good reputation in the science community; some majors are definitely more difficult than others.
ESF is not incredibly interested in collegiate and club sports. However, we are connected to Syracuse University, one of the largest colleges in New York state. ESF students often participate in sports ant SU, where they have access to indoor and outdoor football and soccer fields, swimming pools, gyms, lacrosse teams, cross country and track teams, etc. You name it, SU has a team for it. Even Quiddich!
