    Am learning a lot

    The teachers are great, and go out of their way to help you and make sure you understand everything. They do their best to make sure you are ready for each test.
    Am enjoying being here

    I love the campus, and everyone is really friendly, and there is a lot you can do around the campus.
    Tips for prospective students

    There is a lot a work and studying that you have to do, and coming from high school, it can be a bit overwhelming. But if you stay on top of things and don;t wait till the last minute, you'll be fine.
    Great for these types of students

    Hard working students, and not slackers. There is a lot a work and studying!

    Am learning a lot

    The teachers are great, but you have to get used to them. They make sure you understand the material and are helpful. You will need to learn but will learn.
    Am enjoying being here

    It is a great campus, it's small which I personally like. You get to know everyone and you see the same people all the time. Also, Albany is a great little city. Not too big to be overwhelming, but not so small, there's nothing to do.
    Bang for the buck

    There are definitely great facilities and faculty/staff for the price.
    Tips for prospective students

    Study a lot! It's hard work and you have to work hard to do well. The professors can help you, but it is up to you to work at doing well.
    Great for these types of students

    This school is for someone who wants a small campus. There aren't many sports, so it's for someone who may want to just play intramural type sports. It's for someone who wants a great career that they have to work for.

    Am learning a lot

    There's a lot of work to be done, as well as a lot of studying and memorizing. It's great, if you can keep on top of the workload. The professors are brilliant as well. They're nice, smart, approachable, and really knows what they're doing.
    Am enjoying being here

    There is a lot of work. A lot of time the courseload can feel extremely overwhelming, but keep at it and it can be rewarding. There are so many places you can find help.
    There are also many activities and events planned for the students each year. Some of the events include Relay For Life, movies every Friday, Bingo nights, comedians, Human vs. Zombie and much more.
    Bang for the buck

    The price is steep, but you get a lot in return. There are many activities on campus, so many you don't necessarily need to leave the campus to find something fun to do. For example, there's the library, the work out gym, and the gymnasium. There are clubs like Zumba club, dance team, karate club, colleges against cancer, multicultural club and Another Creative Prospective. The student center is an amazing place as well. The dining hall offers an amazing variety of foods, including a Tim Horton's and Coldstone Creamery. And there's something happening in the atrium almost everyday.
    Tips for prospective students

    Get to know your professors and the tutors in the writing center right off the bat. It will make your life much easier in the long run. They are there to help you, so never be scared to ask for help. Also, learn your way around the library building. The librarians are kind, very helpful and very willing to help out. They are saints when you're still learning your way around the library database. The writing center and the science assistance center are on the second floor, where there is a plethora of people able to help you manage your coursework. Though you'll want to find our their schedules because they're not there 24/7.
    Great for these types of students

    Great for people that keep on top of their work. If you're a slacker, you will fall behind fast and hard. You really only want to join the pharmacy program if you're a hard worker and willing to sacrifice time to study. You will definitely need to study much harder than you had in high school, so be prepared.

    Am learning a lot

    I am learning a lot here. Some of the classes are very difficult but they are passable. The teachers are willing to help you but you need to make sure you find them and ask for help.
    Am enjoying being here

    I enjoy my time here and there are many things to do on Fridays and Saturdays. Every weekend they show a movie at the student center and the other days there are many things to do. They have many clubs and encourage students to make their own and get involved.
    Bang for the buck

    Its an expensive college but what college isn't? The campus looks nice most of the time and everything is clean but there are some things that need some work. For example, when it rains, there is a leak in the ceiling in the calculus room and it drips into a large plastic funnel and for some people it can be a distraction. Other than that the food needs some help but at least you won't gain the freshman fifteen.
    Tips for prospective students

    If you are coming to this college I advise you to start studying during the summer. Make a schedule and plan study time. Know how to study, this school is very hard.
    Great for these types of students

    This college is great for people who like to work hard and don't care for partying. You need to be very well disciplined when it comes to studying.
