SUNY Oneonta gave me the best 4 years of my life. I made lifelong friends, danced with my best friends on the Terpsichorean Dance Company, was given the opportunity to choreograph, took amazing classes that helped better me as a future educator, met the love of my life, and was given multiple independent study opportunities. I helped create an after school math program with a professor and helped conduct research and transcribe materials on past student teaching records from the early 1900s into an Excel Spreadsheet. All of the professors and staff were so kind. I really enjoyed living on campus all 4 years. The RAs and other resident hall staff were able to create a warm, friendly, and fun environment to live in. I always enjoyed going to their socials and programs. I also go to tutor mathematics on campus in the Student Learning Center and was able to teach yoga classes with my best friend through the Intramurals Department. I miss SUNY Oneonta!
I come from East Harlem, NY. Coming from a big city, you’d be nervous to be stuck in the mountains for 8 months, but sure enough, Oneonta became my home away from home. I’ve had a more than welcoming experience to Oneonta, from walking around town to shopping at Southside to engaging in campus-wide activities including my favorite which is Battle of the Red Dragons. I can’t wait to return!
I had a pretty good time here. The campus is pretty average, it’s not too big and it’s not too small. Pretty mids town and surrounding area, unless you really love nature and picturesque mountains.
I had a plethora of interesting and well-versed professors who made class and learning enjoyable. Minimal guidance in the student advisors department, so if you’re one of those few students who go to SUCO and actually care about their education you should be able to hold your own when it comes to picking out classes and and choosing your academic path.
The majority of residence halls are in need of a renovation, and the food quality in the dining halls NEEDS to be addressed. Good thing there are several restaurants in town that absolutely slap.
Overall, this is a pretty big party school and the majority of students aren’t that serious but that’s okay because you’ll have the library to yourself if you are.
