SUNY at Albany Top Questions

Sometimes it's hard to find out who to get help from.

Too many lecture center classes. It is hard to get a professor to remember you when you share a classroom with 500+ students

The most frustrating thing about my school is how hard it is to get a straight answer from advisors. I always get the run around from each department and sometimes leads me to want to give up because of the hassle it imposes on me to get the information I need.

I don't find anything to be very frustarting, I really enjoy this school.

getting used to a larger school with a wide variety of people from all over the state/country and meeting and getting acqauinted with new people

Although I enjoy attending the University at Albany, I think the most frustrating thing is the issue of having essentially no free time. Being involved in three organizations and taking eighteen credits has taken up all of my time here. I constantly remind myself that I am here to receive an education and build up my professional experience which is why I stay so dedicated and involved.

the most frustrating thing about my school is the exams are all within the same week and it makes it very stressfull, as well as when you do get the teachers/perfesor that dus not want to help you when its clear you need it.

The most frustrating thing about my school is the ridiculous parking. It is so overcrowded all the time, and I don't think it's fair that the teachers get the closest parking and the students have to walk really far just to get to class on time. I also think that the school should do a better job of snowplowing the sidewalks and covering them with salt. It's always way too slippery in the winter.

some classes are really big (especially 100 level courses)

It can be difficult to get in touch with them, especially about finances. It seems as if there are many expenses that add up, and I'm already going to be paying back college loans for years as it is.

I don't get frustrated easily because I have a very level head, but if I had to pick one thing about my school that frustrates me it would probably be the bad reputation it gets for partying. A lot of people think that SUNY at Albany is a huge party school and that's all anybody does there, but it is such a misconception. I wish the school and the media would recognize all the great things our students are accomplishing as well as our not so proud moments.

The amount of partying there is is pretty frustrating. I feel as though it is difficult to meet people unless you go out to a party.

Too much noise.

People keep saying that it is a party school.

the food

The most frustrating thing about my school are the long lines.

Financial aid office

The most frustrating thing about my school is when you need to find an answer to an important question no one has an answer for you. Instead someone tells you to go to a certain office, and that office directs you somewhere else, or to the person you just visited.

The food isn't so great. Not a very astetically pleasing campus, all buildings are concrete.

so many things to do.
