I’m a junior undergrad here at Poly and I’ve been going since I started in 2020. COVID made things difficult, but as we are a state school we were stuck following state regulations. That being said, now that the regulations are relaxed, campus life is starting back up again. People are actually going to events and hanging out on the quads, fields, game rooms, etc. There is no pre-medical school program (only nursing program), so choosing biology as a major is a little difficult with no stepping stones/preparation for medical school- that and there is no pre-med advisor, so you’re on your own in terms of advising for the most part. Psychology program is great. Party scene is existent- just need to know where to look. Sodexo is gone and food tastes good now. Relatively inexpensive cost for a good education. I would recommend for those trying to save some money/ avoid racking up debt.
I'm an online student at suny polytechnic institute since the fall 2021. My online experience hasn't been extremely terrible, however, school administration is hard to deal with and advisors just don't care. For example, I'm currently having an issue with a "professor " who hasn't been grading my assignments or exams. The work have been piling for weeks and she won't reply to my emails to explain why this is happening . So, I reached out to my advisor for help and he just told me to go make a complaint to the Chair of the math department. Contacted the Chair of the math department and days have gone by with no reply. It's obvious these people don't respect or care about students and their needs; they just want tuition money. Additionally, the bursar office won't refund the money owed to me, and I was charged for services not used. It makes no sense contacting financial aid because of so much misinformation. This level of incompetence is why I'm transferring colleges this summer.
This school is great for technology and for the program of psychology. The professors really help with research in this field. The only thing that is negative is that this school is hard to make friends when you are not in the technology programs. I would change the Covid rules because they are still pretty strict compared to other NY schools. Also, the school only really cares about the Baja club and only gives funds to them and not the other clubs that deserve it. Overall, this school is pretty good and affordable. I would definitely pick this school again if I ever went back for a second degree.
