As a new enrollee, I have been very impressed by the genuine concern and caring nature of the staff in their efforts to assist in my enrollment to the college. From the beginning, there has been constant and continual follow up with me via all methods communication, such as email and telephone calls, to ensure deadlines were made, and any questions answered. Every member of the staff has been wonderful to work with. The application process was clear and uncomplicated, and the approval process efficient. As a new student to the campus community, I have to experience the environment, but I am sure
I appreciate that SUNY Empire has provided me the opportunity to attend school while still working as a full time employee in addition to working a part time job. I have been struggling to complete school since my parents haven't helped me financially since I was 15. SUNY Empire provides an affordable education with the ability to remain flexible with the busy schedule of those who cannot afford to attend school without working a full-time job or several jobs. The professors are understanding and very helpful. Not to mention, the mentors at Empire strive to provide students with the easiest and most efficient degree plan uniquely designed to fit the lifestyle of each individual student.
Empire State College is great for the working adult going back to school. Be it that you have a family, work lots of hours, or have other commitments that take your time and attention, Empire State College works well with your schedule. The instructors are very understanding of students having a life outside of the studies they are taking. You will get a challenge and learn new things, but without the stress of a structured classroom and schedule.
