    I recently graduated from Herkimer with a 2 year degree. If Herkimer was a 4 year school I would definitely continue my education right here. From the faculty, sports programs, clubs and activities available it was just perfect for me. Even the president was very visual at many sports and club activities. The school itself is very clean and presentable. Teachers were always available for questions when needed also. I really can't think of anything from this 2 year school that I would change at this time.

    Herkimer College is a great school. There are plenty of activities students can get involved with, the teachers and fellow classmates are kind and have provided great assistance to me when necessary. The campus is centrally located in the small village of Herkimer and it is easy to navigate to it. Many of my fellow classmates are from different parts of the country and some are even from other countries! It is a diverse atmosphere that helps to make the learning environment interesting and makes social activities more fun. I wouldn't choose any other college. Herkimer is fantastic.
    Herkimer college takes pride in having students involved in campus living, with events every weekend and sports events almost on a daily basis. Staff makes sure to either always be available to students in need or have ways to be reached, whether it is in the student help center, or even the office and advisement center. When you are going through a hardship or issues on campus you have your fellow classmates and staff to help you push forward. Always making sure to monitor each students academics and if you are an athlete (a General) your advisors and coach will keep an eye on you to make sure if you start straying away from what you have to do you can always correct your mistakes and have someone that will always support and help you.
