Personally, I love it at Geneseo. I like the small-town feel, the campus is beautiful, and I've enjoyed most of the classes that I've taken so far. There are challenging ones and easy ones, like you're going to get anywhere. I like nearly all of my professors. The two dorms I have lived in have been fine, your average college dorms. In my opinion, the food is pretty good, better than other colleges I think (but I do know that some vegans/vegetarians have issues finding good options). Overall, I can't wait for the next 2 years here!
Having just completed my first year at SUNY Geneseo, I can say I really enjoy the school. Coming from a very diverse inner-city school district, the diversity is almost nonexistent- there are a ton of stereotypical greek life people, but that makes the party scene pretty fun at least. Not a ton to do in the area unless you drive, and since everyone can bring cars there are never any parking spaces available. I'm excited to return, though, as I did form a solid friend group and meet a really great guy. Teachers I had were all fantastic throughout COVID-19 considering my family had a good share of health problems. Physics/Astronomy department rocks! Not my major, but definitely has some of the best professors.
Geneseo is a very difficult school to deal with. As an education major, I can only recommend that you avoid this school like the plague if you want to be a teacher. The program requires you to have a car, they don't offer any outside help for transportation. There is not stipend for gas, there is nothing in the way of grants for mileage or anything. Mental health services are abysmal, they wouldn't accomodate setting up a meeting over email when I couldn't call. Food access is terrible, an entire dining hall has been closed because workers quit over poor working conditions and all the food pricing was highballed by over 100% in most cases. Administration is horrid, but professors are generally good. Athletics, Residence Life and Greek Life are vibrant, but that really doesn't cut it considering all the cons. Plus there's no real library because of asbestos and won't be for a few more years. Not worth the money, pick another SUNY.
