Fredonia isn't perfect but if you're looking for a place where you can have many new experiences, meet new people that you never thought you'd meet, and make friendships that will last a lifetime, then Fredonia is the place to be. Fredonians are some of the most open-minded and accepting people out there. The professors truly care about your success as a student as long as you show an interest. If you are unsure about Fredonia at first, give it a chance! It really does grow on you and trust me you will not want to leave at the end of 4 years!
Review SUNY Fredonia
I found SUNY-Fredonia to be OKAY. The professor to student ratio was good, the campus somewhat cozy, the ticket price, affordable. However, although things may have changed over the years, certain aspects of college life there were of significant concern to me. The overall course selection and extracurricular activities were lacking. The professors and support staff weren't terribly friendly, the student body, not so nice, either. I found the local villagers to be similarly negative in disposition, perhaps not coincidentally. Although I'm grateful for having had a decent, affordable education, I wish my overall experience was more positive.
So far, my experience at Fredonia has been fantastic! I attend the music department right now and I can say I've definitely made the right choice coming here. It is perfect for music majors looking for a good deal on a college. The food they serve is delicious and the community is nice. The teachers and faculty are great and interactive. You can easily com to them for help. The dorms are nice and facilitated. Overall my experience has been great so far and I can't wait to see what my future experience here will bring.
