I'm currently looking into Plattsburgh College as one of my choices, but I wanted to get a bit more 'real' information about it. Can anyone share their experiences–the good, bad, and everything in between–about studying there?
As one of the State University of New York (SUNY) schools, SUNY Plattsburgh offers a myriad of opportunities for its students. Its location in the small city of Plattsburgh, right on the shores of Lake Champlain and in close proximity to the Adirondack Mountains, provides a beautiful backdrop, and it attracts many students with a mix of urban and outdoor recreational activities. The scenery is often praised by students who enjoy hiking, boating, and other outdoor activities.
Academically, SUNY Plattsburgh is known for its teacher education, business, and communication disorders and sciences programs. Many students praise the dedicated faculty members who take a personal interest in their success. Additionally, the school offers a variety of student clubs and organizations that offer opportunities for involvement and leadership.
Like any other college, SUNY Plattsburgh does have its challenges. Some students report that the campus food and housing can leave a bit to be desired. As it is a smaller school, some students find the social scene to be limiting and note that there can sometimes be a lack of diversity.
Overall, SUNY Plattsburgh provides a solid, well-rounded education at an affordable price, especially for in-state students. As with any college, it's important to visit (if possible) and check if the vibe, the community, the academic opportunities, and the atmosphere align with your college needs and expectations. Good luck with your college search!
