Thomas

Most of the professors are very nice and passionate about the subjects they teach, some are arrogant and rude just like any other college. A lot of the students are weird hipsters or tumblr feminists, and there are a lot of douchey people too. The food sucks, there are a decent amount of events and being a commuter sucks in terms of attending events and required courses. Parking can be a struggle as well. Overall Sage is okay, the education part is really good but the environment isn't for me, some people will love it, but I'm not very artsy or hipstery so I hate it most of the time.

Angelina

Sage College of Albany had a amazing campus consisting of nice staff. The cost is on the pricey side but it’s manageable if you’re dedicated to your education. The campus is large and you forget you’re in the city. There’s a lot more females than males. It’s a 12 to 1 student to teacher ratio. You get a sense of invitation and belonging when you enter the campus. The people are very friendly and encourage uniqueness.

Sage college of Albany is a place filled with lots of opportunities, the support from professors and staff make you feel at home. Currently being at sage is an amazing experience and i highly recommend it to all future students who want to attend the right college.

Andrew

I came as a transfer student from a much larger an open campus so things were quite astonishing when I first tried to get my footing in the first year. I've really come to love the campus though and there is Alwaya so much going on around the city so there's never a dole moment. As far as academics are concerned I can say that I have felt very accomplished In learning what I need to when I need to as well as how many of these courses can serve as functional sciences outside of the classroom. Professors will go above and beyond to help you understand course material, all of which really truly love what they do and want nothing more than to help you understand it in an easy to digest fashion that leaves you remembering it for years to come.

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

    As a student who came from a high school thats been shut down, I would look at my refelction in the mirror and tell my self "its all going to be ok." Its sad knowing that my high school didnt give me much when it came to college help, college guidence and the proper learning materials. I would of told my self "work hard, play hard", mainly because as a student i never liked being a failure, especially when my family in the United States and also in Panama always had high hopes for me. I would tell myself that no matter how long things take every thing is going to be ok. I struggled as a young women, when it came to doubting myself. I never thought positive about certain situations because everything ive tried to reach for just seemed to run away. But as I become older and a wiser freshmen student in Sage college of Albany, i will look back and proudly say "I made it", and wether or not I accomplished my goals in high school i will definietly reach them in college. I can actually relax and say jennifer ,"its all going to be ok".

  5. What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?

    Overall Sage College of Albany is a wonderful place to be, but if I had to pick the worst thing about it, I would have to say it is their dining services. I personally think that it is a little pricey for the amount and quality of the food you get. I must have wasted at least $1000 last year just by not finding anything worth eating. It is also difficult for me being a vegan. I found there were not too many options I could choose from to fulfill my diet needs. Finally, the hours were often inconvenient.
