SUNY at Albany Top Questions

What kind of person should attend SUNY at Albany?

Serena

If you are looking to attend SUNY Albany then you have to be willing to try new things and grab at opportunities. If you are looking to be comfortable and to stay in your room all day, this is not the college for you. In order to have the most fun, you must be willing to explore and to make friends and acquaintances wherever you can find them. People will notice if you sit in your room all day, every day and some will try to get you outside so if you want to be a hermit, it is not going to be here. You also will not be happy here. You do not have to be an extrovert or a party animal to get along well, you just have to be willing to take a little bit of a chance. Everyone is looking for friends and to have a good time so make the most of that.

I think this is a great school for anyone to attend. There are people of all different personalities. I am an introvert but I do not find it hard to make friends. Everyone here is open to try new things and experience life with you. I am glad I chose a school with such diversity and a range of people. It gives you a chance to branch out and really find who YOU are. The friendships made here are very solid and will last a lifetime.

Yes, it's a party school, if that's your thing. However, UAlbany also works well for the serious-minded student. You can be social or anti-social, there's a fit for everyone. Make sure you ask around about which professors to take, there are absolute gems, which can make or break your experience. Especially if you're a NY resident, there aren't may better deals considering educational quality and price of admission... and yes, it's a party school. Even if you're not a regular partier, it's nice to have fun options to unwind!

Emily

The type of person best suited for SUNY Albany is someone who loves finding ways to stand out in the crowd. Albany is a really big school and to be happy you will want to get involved and get to know as many people as possible. It is in a great location for networking. The people who will best fit in here will be ready to jump right into the action and take no prisoners.

SUNY at Albany is a place where people who want to succeed certainly can but it is easy to get lost and unfocused if you're unsure of what you want to do. I enjoyed my time there but spent too long trying to find my place and I lost many opportunities to learn specific skills for a particular career path. Those in business and harder sciences seem to succeed here but those in arts seem to flounder.

I honeslty couldn't answer that

Emily

A partier. The kind of person who likes to have a lot of fun and always has something to do. A person who likes being involved and never needs an excuse to have fun. It's never boring here and that's the kind of person who would like it here. You have to be good at balancing your social fun time and getting all of your work done.

Only someone who is serious about their school work should attend this school. If you are just coming to make friends and fool around then there is no point in you attending.

I believe that any person who wishes to become a well rounded individual should attend the University at Albany. This school is very diverse and offeres a great anount of opportunities to take advantage of. Being outgoing is an extrme benefit at this school due to the fact that there are about 18,000 students here; a great chance to make friends and network. Because SUNY Albany offeres a wide array of majors, individuals who have different interests are evidently more than welcome.

A person who is willing to work for a proper education should attend this school. I personally believe that the Psychology department in this school is superb. Those who are interested in research and psychology should think about applying here. SUNY at Albany is a very friendly environment. It is easy to find make new friends here. Also, most of the staff here are willing to help out their students in any way possible. Those who are looking for a decent education and living environment should attend SUNY at Albany.

Anyone really. It is a medium sized university so it can meet the needs of most people. It is affordable, even for out-of-state students. They have tons of majors, and opportunities in the city for internships and real life work experience.

John

A person who doesn't mind larger classes. There are a lot of distractions, especially on weekends, so students must be able to focus when they have to.

Amira

Someone willing to make something of themselves, who isn't afraid to leave home (if needed), and who can manage their time successfully on their own.

Shawn

someone who is the wild child of there high school

Jennifer

This school is designed for a variety of different people from many different backgrounds. They have a long list of majors that can suit most people.

Shahidul

One with a broad mind, open-ended, inquisitive, hilarious, somber, sportive, lonely (so that one makes a lot of friends), passionate, religious, committed to one's goal, creative, imaginative, coming from a middle-class family, prospective, research-oriented, should attend this school.

Sarah

Since this is a large University, there are opportunities for a wide variety of individuals. While it is true that Albany is something of a party school, and therefore students looking for a not-altogether-challenging courseload and weekends filled with partying will be able to find exactly that, there is *much* more available. Anyone hoping to Study Abroad will be excited by the locations available. SUNY Albany is a "what-you-make-of-it" kind of school. If you choose to dive into difficult courses and join any of the hundreds of clubs, school will be challenging and enjoyable.

Micahel

The type of person who should attend the school is a business oriented school. The arts is not something that is expressed much here. Also the weather is very gloomy. This school has a lot of oppertuniites for research and fraternities. Having a car does help.

Angeline

anyone as long as the school doesn't cut their department.....
