SUNY College at Geneseo Top Questions

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

megan

i don't find anything bad about devry i love the program it's a little expensive but that's the only down side.

Rebecca

Sometimes it's hard to fit in and can take a while to find your niche, it's hard to find parties if you're not in a Greek organization or on a team, the food is terrible, ResLife doesn't handle anything appropriately (they overreact and underreact to situations), University Police is very strict

Alyssa

I absolutely love SUNY Geneseo. I think the only downside is that there are so many great, wonderful, and friendly people here that it is near-impossible to befriend them all! All of the professors, classes, students, and staff I have met thus far have been phenomenal. To be completely honest, I cannot complain.

Ashley

The worst thing about Geneseo is the lack of diversity. The amount of white students heavily surpasses other races, the majority of students are from Western New York, and the overall personal views are extremely closed minded.

Jennifer

It is a hard adjustment for transfers. People do not seem that friendly at first and you really have to go out of your way to make social connections.

Lauren

The Greek life is extremely large and the drinking and drug use is prevalent. I was part of a Greek organization as a means of making friends and having social interaction. Although Greek organizations are an accepted part of college life and have some positive qualities, the combination with a highly competitive environment and an uneven amount of males to females compiled together to create a high intensity alcohol abusing environment. I believe there could be more social organizations and events outside of a greek society.

Michael

There isnt much aboutthe school that i dislike, its well organized and highley diversed. Its a great place to learn new studies and meet plenty of new people. It possess' great classes and very helpful administrative staff to go along with the college. Its a very pleasent environment and area around the college which makes for a great college life.

Justin

The worst thing about my school is the town it self. While the school is great, there is nothing to do in the town except go to the bars. If you're not into drinking, then it's not going to be all at fun. This can be good because it allows more time for studying, but if you don't go to the bars it's like no one knows who you are.

Katherine

The food is the worst thing about the school. Its not really that bad but it is the worst aspect of the school.

Matthew

The worst thing about my school is probably the weather. It gets very cold and very windy, which is not very hospitable.

Donna

This school is in a rural town- the college pretty much makes it. The closest city is Rochester, which is over a half hour away. It takes about 45 minutes to get to the mall, and if your're not in greek life or on a sports team, it's sometimes hard to find something fun to do that's easily accessible.

Melissa

I feel that everyone is focused on getting drunk every day of the week. I wish there was more to do on weekends without engaging in binge drinking. I

Catherine

It has a rather limited selection of majors compared to major universities. For the size that it is, it is reasonable however.

Luke

The food is predictable and mediocre.

Meghan

The worst thing about Geneseo is probably the food situation and whether or not you can keep yourself occupied on campus during free time.

Ryan

The worst thing about my school is its proximity to an urban place. The closest city is 30 minutes away, but some people like that.

Peter

nothing to do around the campus

Elizabeth

Only being there for four years!

Brittany

The worst thing about this school is the very high pressure put on students to succeed, and the resulting somewhat "dim" social aspects.

Erin

The worst thing about the school is the disproportionate gender ratio; there are far more women than men, leading to cliques and competition over men, making the social experience between females one with a heightened sense of... delicacy.

Erin

Graduating and having to leave

Alissa

The food. No Variety

Erika

How hard it is to get into some of the classes based on the registration process.

Toby

It is hard to far off campus, it feels a little isolated. But lots of people have cars and the organizations do cool trips.

Emily

I think the registration period is the worst. It is usually very stressful.

Benjamin

The worst thing about SUNY Geneseo is the weather, but that's only if you don't like cold and windy winters. Personally, I love winter so the weather never bothered me. That combined with the fact that the town of Geneseo has amazing snow-removal services makes SUNY Geneseo nearly perfect. I can't really say that there is a "worst" thing about SUNY Geneseo, because I enjoyed every minute of my time there.
