The peole that should go to SUNY Albany are the type of people who like to have a mixture of fun and academics. There's a lot to do at night in downtown albany, but this school is not a school for people who don't drink.

Kateri

If someone is looking to attend UA, they should be open minded and unafraid of new experiences and people. The University is HUGE which means that there is somewhere for everyone to fit in; you just have to be willing to find your niche. As a transfer student living off campus, it was difficult for me to make frineds at first, but then I started introducing myself to classmates and consequently gained many friendships that extended outside of the classroom.

Sean

People attending this school should have a strong desire to engage in different cultures, political mindsets, and religious principles. There is a focus on reaching out from your personal "bubble" inorder to better understand and relate to the world. As a liberal arts school, SUNY Albany's goal is to form well rounded individuals ready for the work place. However, being ready for the work place is not everything at Albany, and there are many programs which encourage people to interact on levels beyond career orientated activities. People attending this school should be driven to grow!

anykind of person! there are many, many different kinds of people here, anyone would fit right in, unless you prefer a small, intimate school.

Kyle

A student who likes getting involved in activities would like it here. We have a large number of clubs and organizations here on campus, and in addition, a very active community with plenty of opportuntities to get involved. You need to like the cold and have your own car or rely on busses that run between the college and the mall and downtown.

perhaps a person who want's to just go to school and then live thier life. i dont believe the school life interferes with the social life at all here. maybe the social life does interefere with the school life, but definatley not the other way around. i coincidentally made friends with the people in my major, they just happend to be fencers like me, but that doesn't mean everyone else will be as fortunate as i was. but the school work definatley did not screw up my chances of making friends, that's for sure.

Danielle
