What Students Are Saying

Classes here at SUNY New Paltz make you think outside the box. They have a wide variety of possible majors, so you can really do whatever you desire here. The first year or two should be a bit challenging, but not too challenging because General Education (GE) courses, take up most of the workload. It depends on student to student ot be honest. Some come in being a business major already and some come in with no clue what they want to do with their future career. That is th beauty of the academic life here at New Paltz. I guarantee that some kind of life changing event will happen to students here that will determine what they want to do with their life. Professors have a huge role in this; there are a lot of down to earth professors who are incredibly smart and are very inspirational. You will be guided through your decisions and hopefully become the best individual that you could possibly be.

Courses are rigorous while flexible, focusing on accomplishment of goals rather than timely compliance.

You will find people in your classes who can't keep up with the work and you will find classes that are a breeze.
