This school offered a lot of different things to major in, in case i wanted to change majors, along with having the programs I was interested in.

The campus is constantly under construction as it seems. Everything feels local and easily navagable. Commuting uptown and downtown is very common since a large portion of living space for upper classmen is reserved downtown and the apartments on campus are expensive.

My school in located in the capital of New York State. This simple difference sets SUNY Albany apart from all the other schools I considered because it's location provides great opportunity. Being that we are in the capital, many internships and jobs are availible.

If one is looking for a campus with lots of cultural and ethnic diversity, SUNY Albany is it. The campus also has an immense amount of students, at least 15,000. I enjoy the annonmyous nature of the campus. It is very urban and professional feeling. The surrounding area boasts a huge amount of shopping, restaurants and other forms of entertainment. Many things are within walking distance and there is many modes of public transportation. The campus offers a large amount departments and one of the finest nano techonology departments in the world.

My school is unique because there is a diverse population and a diverse surrounding community. Suny Albany focuses on giving back to the community and participating in community service. Many middle and high schools come to the campus and college students are able to tutor and mentor these students. Suny Albany participated in neighborhood clean-up days. Suny Albany has many students participating or running after school programs for middle and high school students off campus. This allows college students to learn how to work in a community and become a leader.

The fact is that UAlbany has great academics and low tuition relative to the publics. As the name recognition of UAlbany and all of the SUNYs rise your chance of admission will decline. This is the hidden gem but not for long.

I really enjoy the fact that SUNY Albany is located in the middle of a city as well as the capital of New York. There's always something to do or something interesting going on in the area like shows and festivals and such. Some other schools I considered were in the middle of a very rural area with nothing around except grass and cows. I don't think I'd be able to spend four years of my life in an area like that.

One thing that is unique about the school I chose is that in my personal opinion it has a good atmosphere. I don't really know how to explain it but I like how everyone is together in a way as far as getting along and knowing we're all trying to acomplish something during our time at this university.
