Emily - 11/03/2020

It’s a wonderful college and an amazing, supportive community. The bad rep it had years ago is definitely dissipating. The President isn’t too concerned with the arts scene, which needs to be changed, considering how passionate the theatre department is. I highly recommend SUNY ADK. It was an amazing experience for me.

Lorraine

I find Adirondack a very good school, although I am older and these questions did not apply to me as I have a family at home. I put off school after high school and traveled the world seeing things now that I'm here I'm very happy with my choice. This school offers so much fro a younger student body which is great for them.

Thomas

I really like ACC because of how small it is. The classes are usually no more than about twenty and some are even smaller. The teacher knows everyone's name and is usually more than willing to help if someone is struggling with something. The teachers are also really great people which makes class much more fun.

Sophia

I have taken classes throughout the school year and summers, and I prefer the regular school year classes to summer. In the summer, they often have a lot of construction going on, making it hard to navigate around the campus. During the year, though, the professors are very informed and it is easy to learn and get a good grade as long as you do what is expected of you, to the best of your ability. Overall, it is an enjoyable experience. I learned a lot, and the tuition isn't too bad, plus for being a community college, it has a lot to offer.

  2. What should every freshman at your school know before they start?

    My first year in college was at a local community college. I chose this option to complete some general education courses at lesser expense, but also to create a stronger academic profile to expand my 4 year college options. This transition was pretty seemless, as I was still living at home and not transitioning to life "on my own". I do wish I could go back and talk to my high school sophomore and junior self, so I would have focused better on my academics then so that I would have been in a better position to take advantage of college scholarship opportunities, as they are far more limited for transfer students. I would tell myself procrastination is NEVER a good strategy and that good organization skills are a must. As for moving away to school, I will make that leap on August 17th, when I move from NY to Missouri to attend Mizzou. Since this will be a new experience, I can only hope that many of the lessons I have learned my college freshman year will serve to make me better prepared for this exciting step. Thank you!

  7. What do you brag about most when you tell your friends about your school?

    I tell me friends that I made a smart choice to attend college one year at home. Since much of the first year of school is made up of general education requirements, SUNY Adirondack allowed me to complete those at far less expense. I was also able to complete many of these classes in a smaller more intimate way, than many of the large lecture hall classes.
