SUNY at Albany Top Questions

Describe your favorite campus traditions.

Stephen

SUNY Albany is well known for its diverse offering of degree programs. I wouldn't say that the school is more weighted toward either science or art, I believe there is a program here for anyone as long as that individual is interested in putting in his or her share of academic effort.

Leah

Partying

Deborah

Nano-technology, atmospheric science, party school

Anna

Being a student and interacting with my fellow peers, I've noticed that many of us do give back to the community. Many students and fellow friends of mine are involved in different committees, such as, Circle K or Service is Key. It's refreshing to ask a fellow classmate what their plans for the weekend are, and having them answer back with a, "I'll be waking up early for the AIDs Walk". I think that this campus has become very GREEN, and it's great to see the influence it has had on its students.

John

UAlbany is best known for partying, our lacrosse team, and the nanotech research facility. The nanotech facility provides a lot of income for the school, so they are always expanding it. UAlbany used to be rated a top ten party school in playboy, but in recent years they have been cracking down on drinking.

david

Well, ever since March/12/2011, our school has become widely known for the student riots that occurred on that day due to our " Kegs and Eggs" event. Because of this event, our school administration has decided to cancel the most memorable events in SUNY Albany, which is fountain day. Unfortunately, I have never had the chance to experience this day and never will.

Carmela

SUNY at Albany is best known for its impressive professional schools, such as Law, Business, and Medicine. The motivation needed to get into these prgrams is found throughout campus. The students of SUNY at Albany are hard-working adults who want to live up to the expectations and requirements to be enrolled in such prestigous professional schools. That very motivation can be found through out all of the majors offered at the school, not only pre-law, business, or pre-med. Therefore, I go back on my word and state Albany's notoriety comes from its student's incredible motivation.

SUNY Albany is best known for their bussiness and pre-med programs. Also, they are known for advanced research and technology. The College of Nanoscience ad Engineering is is one of the school's assets because it gives students an opportunity to conduct very advanced and in-depth research (which often leads to many open doors). Another key characteristic of SUNY Albany is the size, it is very large (with approximately 12,000 undergrads and 6,000 grad students). Because it is located in the capital, many people are familiar with the college and mostly say good things about it.

I think Albany is known to have a really fun weekend life, I believe in 2004 we were the number one party school and J-Kwon remade his tipsy song, the Albany remix. It is a lot of fun here on the weekends, there is always something to do, even if you don't like drinking there is Danes After Dark and sporting events and shows. It's a lot of fun, i'm never bored. Just cold.

Partying, basketball, business program, law program and psychology program as well as having a good IT department and awesome nanoscience building/program.

Suny Albany used to be a party school. In the recent years it has lost this reputation somewhat. There is strong emphasis on research and the University's nanoscience program. There are many strong graudate programs here including those in fields such as Psychology, Business, Nanoscience, and Biology to name a few. Our University recently erected a Life Sciences building which has many new machines and technologies to really facilitate the understanding and research of biological/chemical processes.
