    Am learning a lot

    The professors at Cazenovia College really try to tailor one's education to one's needs. They offer a fantastic learning center ready and willing to tutor any student in any subject. The advisors and professors want to challenge the students so that they can learn the most from the classes and to be successful in life. The coursework is challenging, but doable, and the college offers a variety of interesting classes.
    Am enjoying being here

    The school has about 900 students, so the school is a very close community. One can truly find one's niche with all of the different clubs, sports, extracurricular activities, and trips the school offers. The food is pretty delicious considering it is a college cafeteria, and they offer a variety of choices. Also, the school is gorgeous, well-kept, and located next to a scenic lake.
    Bang for the buck

    Since the college is small, the staff is dedicated to helping each accepted student afford the education. Every student can receive a scholarship upon acceptance (based on high-school merit) for a percentage of the education, and hundreds of other, smaller scholarships are available. The school also makes sure that every student gets the most out of their education and college experience by tailoring the education to the student's needs, as well as getting great internships and jobs for the students.
    Tips for prospective students

    The school does come with some drama, because word travels very fast in a small school.The college is also located near a lake, which can make for a ton of snow in the winter. Also, not many jobs are available in the village surrounding the college because the village of Cazenovia is very small.
    Great for these types of students

    If one is looking for a small school, where one can be in intimate classroom settings, then Cazenovia College would be for them. It's a place for students who want to have close relationships with their professors and fellow-classmates. It's a place where one can get the help one needs to be successful in life after college. And also a great place for students who want a challenge, because the honors program offers some rigorous courses.

    Am learning a lot

    I have seen improvements in my work in all my classes. Part of it is my own drive to succeed, but I have received a tremendous amount of support from my professors.
    Am enjoying being here

    Great campus, great professors, great people.
    Bang for the buck

    Good education, not crazy expensive.
    The school offers many scholarships.
    Tips for prospective students

    You can never have too many quarters. Get involved with clubs and other campus activities (this is important on any college campus--it's all part of the college experience).
    Visit Caz, stay overnight, talk to coaches and current students.
    Great for these types of students

    Students looking for a low-key creative atmosphere for art, students interested in a smaller, close-knit college (though be prepared for some drama--it comes with the size), smaller class sizes, strong equine program, and sports teams that become your family.

    Am learning a lot

    The professors here help each student on an individual level and will not give up on you. They are professors who have either mastered the field or are part of the field of the course or study therefore giving the student the most for their time and money.
    Am enjoying being here

    There is a lot to do here even though it is a smaller school. The campus hosts many events throughout the year and a lot of them are great. Every weekend we have a movie that is out of theaters but no on DVD yet for students to watch with their friends for free.
    Bang for the buck

    You learn a lot here and the professors are great. If you like a smaller town that is close to a big city this a great place to be
    Tips for prospective students

    Apply early and know that the school is smaller. This school may be small but it offers a lot.
    Great for these types of students

    Students who want to go to a college that will provide great education that is tailored to them. Also for those who like the small school and town atmosphere.

    cazenovia college is great for its size because it does have a lot more to offer then one would think. most of the people are friendly, and willing to get to know a diverse group of people. and the campus life overall is good if you are one that likes to be very involved.
    Tips for prospective students

    it is a great college to attend if your major is among the options here. because it is a small campus, you will be known and your professors will help you. make sure you are prepared for a change in scenery and for a different way of living because it can be tough.
    Academic Rigor

    the academics are done very well, generally. some professors could do with being more organized and making sure certain software and tasks are explained properly. learning from any and all of the professors is great fun, and the work load is never too overwhelming.
    Dorm Life

    at times it can be very noisy and hard to deal with, but over all the resident assistants do well to keep things in check.
    Food and Dining

    the meals are prepared very well, but seem to repeat more often than they should.
    What to do for fun

    attending cazenovia activities boards events is great fun. dances, movies, music, and much more.
    Bang for the buck

    although there is a lot to do here it is a small college and quite expensive.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    the fashion show is huge and almost seems like a tradition, and i love it.
    Clubs and Activities

    i love the clubs and activities. i am a part of many many clubs and it is great to mingle with so many different people.
    Campus Safety

    campus safety has things covered. they will help you out at a moment's notice and make sure that people are on their best behaviors.

    cazenovia college is located in a small town, nestled among the hills of upstate new york. a private institution founded in 1824, cazenovia college is school for those of us who prefer a more personal relationship with teachers and other employees. this is not a lie: you are not a number at cazenovia college.
    Tips for prospective students

    before committing yourself to caz, be sure you are ready to live in a small town. though the college provides many events for students to participate in, there is no denying that we have limited activities in the town itself. however, the exchange for a personal, safe, and friendly town is worth it in my opinion.
    Academic Rigor

    the academic rigor varies from class to class, as it does in most schools. i have been in classes that are painfully easy, while at the same time doing homework for others that take all of my concentration and effort.
    Dorm Life

    cazenovia has four main dorms on campus, not counting the suites and apartments. freshmen typically live in either park or watts, and to a lesser extent, farber (the all female dorm). i have found people in farber to be courteous, clean, and quiet. i can always count on being able to take a nap in my room without being disturbed. however, living in park or watts can be quite noisy, and in some cases, uninhabitable for the quiet lovers. they are fun dorms to spend time with your friends with, but not to sleep in.
    Food and Dining

    campus dining is better than most high school cafeteria food, but a step below other college's options. we have one dining hall on campus with very good food on some days, but poor selections on other days. we also have late night and cyber cafe, which are the food options past dinner time. both have good food, so it can sometimes be a good substitute if it's leftovers for dinner.
    What to do for fun

    cab events happen mostly every weekend (movies, comedians, musicians, dances), but as for in-town fun, there isn't much to do. unless you have a car, you make your own fun with your friends, which i have found to be better than clubbing any night.

    Did learn a lot

    The professors do teach you a lot and expect a lot out of you. If you do all the work and study, passing the classes will be easy!
    Did enjoy being here

    Not really. The school was really small and the people get old fast. There's nothing to do on the weekends and it takes a half hour to get into Syracuse and if you're a freshman you won't be able to get there unless you take the vans that run once every two weeks or find an upperclassman.
    Bang for the buck

    Not really. The school is very expensive.
    Tips for prospective students

    Make sure you really want a small school and know that you can create your own fun or else you'll be bored 24/7.
    Great for these types of students

    Equine studies majors. The equine program is fantastic. Other than that.... choose another school.
