Am learning a lot
This college will challenge the mind of any intellectual student that enrolls. The Honors Program at SUNY Orange is much more difficult than many honors high school classes, testing critical thinking and analyzing skills that may have been put by the wayside in high school.
Am enjoying being here
The professors are extremely approachable for questions and make sure every student has some way to contact them if need be. The students are mature on campus and quite a few are willing to help people in their classes.
Bang for the buck
This is a two-year college that offers the same level of education as many four-year schools. The tuition for residents of Orange County, as of 2010, was approximately $2062. For non-residents, it was about $4124, but neither of these include books.
Tips for prospective students
Try to get as many college courses completed in high school as possible. This will allow for later courses to be taken earlier when in college and save time.
Apply for as many scholarships as possible. The more money saved by scholarships, the more money can be set aside for a four-year college.
Great for these types of students
This is a great college for students who would rather not be in the middle of a bustling and noisy city. It is separated from the main section of Middletown, but not so far as to be considered back-country. It is also good for those who wish to be challenged, but may not have the money to go straight into a four-year college.
