The professors here are on general really great across the board, you will always have a few that aren't great but that's every campus. If you like being in a small town away from the chaos of a big city, this could be the place for you. Another perk is the surrounding campuses- Potsdam is very much so a college town with 3 other collefes in close proximity. The area is great for outdoor activities as we are in Northern New York, home of the Adirondacks!
SUNy Potsdam is an awesome school. In my experience, the professors are very understanding and down to earth, and take time out to explain things to make sure you understand them. It is a wonderful campus with many clubs and activities, as well as great food!
When applying and touring, the campus and atmosphere were extremely welcoming. Everyone genuinely enjoys being there, and also encouraged others to also attend school there. The professors also have flexible schedules and do whatever they can to help the students succeed. Everyone is there to help each other which makes everything easy to navigate. The snow in the winter wasn't always shoveled in time to get to class on time, though professors were understanding.
