Overall, the academic and campus atmosphere is excellent! If you are looking for a small classroom experience, this is the college for you! We have plenty of clubs and organizations to be active in. The CAB or student activity board organizes plenty of events for you to do!

I really like it here. Although it has its ups and downs, I think I found a great school that I fell in love with the first time.

Cazenovia College is an incredible school. Both the faculty and staff and community members make you feel right at home. Everyone is very welcoming and friendly, and are always ready to help with any questions or concerns students may have. I could not imagine being anywhere but Cazenovia College to receive my undergraduate degree!

My opinion of Cazenovia College is that it's the perfect fit for me! Although it's not the biggest, I believe it has a lot of potential, because it can focus in on students better because we're such a tight knit community. It's small, so everyone knows each other which is a big advantage too. I love my experience here, it's scenery is beautiful, the people are nice and it's only 45 minutes away from my home in Syracuse, New York. I believe Cazenovia College is a great place to grow academically, and as a person. I look forward to graduating from here with a Bachelor's Degree in Fine Arts, and hopefully pursue Graduate school at another institution.

Cazenovia College is a perfect for anyone looking for a small, homey feeling, campus! It'd the kind of campus where everyone knows each other, and you are much more than a number. You can expect close relationships with your professors, among other staff members. You won't be able to make it across the campus without being greeted by somebody. There are dozens of clubs and sports to get involved in, as well as events to participate in every week. You'll never be bored, and if you are you aren't doing it right! The only downside is the lack of variety when it comes to food, but does food really matter when you have an amazing lake view just a 2 minute walk away?

I believe that this is a greats school that has many intellectual oppurtunities to push people to do their best. This school is very small so you get to know everyone very well which increases your liking of the school. The coaches and teachers are always around to help with anything and even if you don’t know a faculty member personally they will still help you with anything.

I enjoy the professors I've encountered, the availability of them, and how willing they are to help. I sometimes feel like the class sizes are a bit too big and too much to handle. There is a lot of supportive individuals on campus to help with whatever you need like specific resources for things you're looking for. I enjoy the amount of extracurricular activities that occur on campus especially the showing of new movies on the weekends. The campus is a perfect size for anyone looking for something small and homey. A negative comment I have is that the enrollment services office doesn't seem to know what they're doing at times and has messed up financial aid I have and what they say that I owe them. That has happened to me countless times throughout my four years so I feel like they need to be more straightforward and explain things better.

If you're looking for a college with a small class size, professors who want to know you and a beautiful surrounding town then this is the college for you! The college is on the small side, with one dining hall, but that is part of what gives it's students the attention they need. The campus is right down the street from Main St which has a lot of shops, a couple restaurants, a theater and a tea lounge! Down the street a little ways away is the Jephsen center which is the newly renovated art center for almost all the art classes. If you travel a little farther down the same street you will reach the Cazenovia lake which is beautiful!

What should every freshman at your school know before they start?
I would have told myself to work harder so you could get better grades and mabe that would of given you more money towards your college so you wont be in so much debt.
What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?
It is in the middle of no where. There is absolutely nothing to do. They rarely take students off campus to do anything. A person can easily get bored at Cazenovia College.
This college is in a small town so you would like to live in small towns. It is also a small campus with less than 1,500 students so the person would want a small tight knit community and not a huge university.
What kind of person should not attend this school?
Somebody who wants "the college experience" they see in movies and the media - there is no Greek life at Cazenovia, and it's overall very quiet. The food is average, and the dining hall never has enough seats - the campus is quiet and peaceful for people who like that, but if you want to party all the time, go to Syracuse.
I am a double major, and an honors student. Caz is one of the only places where I can do that, and have a minor, and be able to graduate in 3 years. Our academic programs are mostly challenging and educational. I have not taken a class within my first year that I didn't learn something that stuck with me. I use what I learn in class every day; I bring it into casual conversation, and I am a better, smarter person for it. Caz is not the most competitive school, so some of the other students aren't the brightest. It's not as academic as I wanted for myself, but there's definitely room for it.
What is the stereotype of students at your school? Is this stereotype accurate?
Caz students don't have a stereotype as a whole, but within our ranks we stereotype each other. The equine girls have their stereotypical group; the baseball guys have their stereotyped group; the honors program is stereotyped; and the druggies fall into their own group.
All students must apply yearly for financial aid. This process starts with the FAFSA.
