As a second year student. Plattsburgh has done wonders for my education. The Expeditionary Studies Program is one of the nations best outdoor programs run by some of the world's most qualified people. On top of that, I have added two majors and a minor onto my degree and faculty members are there to help me succeed. For those who enjoy outdoor recreation, SUNY Plattsburgh is a great place to go to because of it's proximity to the Adirondack Mountain Range and the Green Mountains. Plattsburgh is also on Lake Champlain, and only a hour from Montreal. I've heard from city folk that Plattsburgh "has nothing to do" but it does offer great pastimes, they just need to be for you! The last year of my life has been one of the greatest (minus COVID) because of Plattsburgh and how they have given me opportunities that I never thought I'd have whether it be sea kayaking off of the coast of Maine or 800 ft up a cliff.
I really, really love the food options here. They have lots of vegan food for me. They also have gluten free, allergy awareness, halal options. I do however have a friend who is allergic to soy and has very few meal options! Campus is pretty, downtown is fun. Arguably the best part about this school is free group exercise. Zumba, yoga, kickboxing, spin class, etc. it’s a really great way to stay in shape and make friends. Professors are generally really good, classes a decent size, and lots of campus events to enjoy. I’ve joined in on a lot of them. Dorms can range from old and kind of gross, to beautiful and modern. It all depends on what year you are. Also, there are shuttle busses that arrive on campus every 30 mins and can take you to the mall, Walmart, and grocery stores. I would definitely recommend going here!
Great environmental program that enabled me to pursue my dream career of 20+ years of rewarding work and counting. Thanks to all of my professors who shared their passion for studying and protecting the environment!
