    suny farmingdale is a great starter school. it slowly eases you into college life and helps you adjust. it is perfect for you to stay there or to prepare to transfer.

    Tips for prospective students

    if you are planning on attending fsc it is a great choice. i have no complaints about this school. one minor downfall, if you are into socializing this school is not big on social life.

    Academic Rigor

    the professors are very caring and easy-going. they understand that there class is not the only one that us as students have and they try to keep the work to a minimum. some classes are tougher than other but that is inevitable.

    Dorm Life

    i can not personally comment on dorm life but from what i have heard from my friends that stay on campus it is okay. it is definitely more of a commuter school.

    Food and Dining

    there are various places to eat on campus. if you get tired of campus food, when you step off of campus right on 110 there are a bumch of restaurants to dine.

    Bang for the buck

    i highly recommend going to fsc. it is an amazing school as an introduction to college life. i personally don't plan on staying here because the program that i want is not offered but if my program was offered i would definitely stay. it is a perfect family environment and i love farmingdale !

    Clubs and Activities

    there are many clubs and activities to join and get involved with. also, on this campus there are a lot of events that they plan to keep everyone together.

    Greek Life

    no sororities or fraternities. i hear talk of them trying to get some.

    Campus Safety

    this campus is extremely safe. i havent had any time where i didn't feel 100% safe. everywhere you turn there is a campus police. you definitely feel safe on this campus.

    Am learning a lot

    I feel like the professors could do a better job teaching, in most of my classes they just read off of power points.

    Am enjoying being here

    I really dislike commuting, I want to dorm but this is commuter campus. Parking is also very far away from the buildings so in the winter and when it's raining out, it's terrible.

    Bang for the buck

    The price is the only reason I am still attending.

    Tips for prospective students

    If you want to go to a school like Nassau but want to be 1 up then i recommend Farmingdale, but other than that I feel like I am in 13th grade, the school is just like high school.

    Great for these types of students

    dental hygiene, nursing.

    The professors don't see questions as stupid because if chances are there are a few other people in your class who are wondering the same thing. They truly care about a student's life and will try to help them succeed. The campus constantly has some sort of activity going on, whether it is a fair or a blood drive or yoga during club hour at the loft.

    Tips for prospective students

    Come in with an open mind and avoid any catty drama. The people here want to help you reach your potential- in the end you're the only one holding yourself back.

    Dorm Life

    Slightly boring considering that there are only two dorm buildings.

    Food and Dining

    Slightly expensive but the food is edible.

    What to do for fun

    Honestly, there isn't much to do on the campus itself so joining a club or a fraternity is your best option.

    Bang for the buck

    For the tuition charged- the professors truly go out of their way to ensure their students are successful.

    Great for these types of students

    Academically inclined students! The library is nice and there are a lot of centers that provide additional help, whether you need it or not. The career center helps with resume writing, the student success center and books and beans provide your computer usage, tutoring, advice AND coffee and food and the writing center has begun an online service where they'll help you when you're stuck on that 10 page research paper.

    Clubs and Activities

    There are a lot of new clubs that I never knew about.

    Greek Life

    Not really there...
    There is one fraternity and that's it.

    Campus Safety

    The officers ensure safety
