Saint rose is a pretty good school depending on your program! If you're business (finance/accounting/marketing), you'll definitely have so much flexibility in scheduling and courses! The professors are super helpful when it comes to course work and other personal matters. Some professors however are strict and pretty mean, but you'll fine that anywhere! There's always events on campus and people around, so the campus is super lively. The diversity isn't the best (it's semi better than other colleges), but in recent years has definitely gotten better! Overall I would recommend saint rose, there's always something to do on campus, people to meet and there's a whole array of clubs and committees to join. The dining is decent, but the food places on campus are definitely great! Highly recommend Camelot Room and Midnight Eats! There's Starbucks which is nice and your student ID gives you free/unlimited use for the CDTA bus! It's great if you're a commuter or a student who likes to go out!

I just transferred this semester to Saint Rose and I love it here! The professors that I've experienced in the Communication Sciences and Disorders program have all been so accommodating and ready to help. Saint Rose has a ton of opportunities to get involved on campus, but you get what you put into it. On top of that, the campus is adorable, the food is good, and the dorms are (for the most part) really nice. If you're the type of person who's looking for a good party scene, this probably isn't the school for you.

Saint Rose is a really great school. The campus is beautiful and the buildings are truly remarkable. All of the staff and professors I have personal experiences with, few exceptions included, have been extremely kind and it is clear they have the students' best interests at heart. One of the problems I have with the school though is the tuition. It is an extremely expensive school and the scholarship options are very limited. I also have a bit of a problem with the extensive amount of credits needed in specific areas. I transferred into Saint Rose from a 2-year community college and while a great deal of my credits transferred, I was still forced to stay an extra semester to catch up with credits specific to the school. With that, some classes I took at my previous school that transferred over that were 3 credit classes were not transferred over in full. In other words, because the class was not through Saint Rose the amount of credits changed when evaluated through Saint Rose.
