I attended their summer program in 1983 and enrolled in the following fall. It was an intense experience challenging me socially and academically. The administration, faculty, and support staff were accessible. Even the food service workers were there on difficult days to assist with a listening ear and some advice. The Chaplain's Center provided for transitional counseling and the Learning Center provided qualified peer tutors to assist students. It stressed independence but offered structure to mature safely. Troy, Albany, Saratoga, Lake George, and the ski spots were among some of my favorite distractions in the Capital District. Having a bowling alley in the Student Union provided a great stress relief nearby. Focused undergraduate research was highly valued, flexibility in fusing disciplines, and focused balancing long and short-term objectives prepared me for my unanticipated career and the lifelong pursuit of knowledge and thoroughness, responsibility toward facilitating for our community's interest, and reflecting the RPI initiative. "Why not change the world?"

We were really impressed by the students and staff. The students we met seemed happy to be there. The faculty seems to care about the students along with their success and well-being. That's the impression I got. The campus is small and walkable. Lots of kids walking around or hanging out together.

Maybe not, but it made the school look bad and financially uncertain. The previous president, Chris Gibson, was capable and had important contacts in government.

Great University!…read more This is a beautiful campus with very modern arts and science buildings and departments. Great Danes sports have great rankings in football, track, lacrosse.

They have one of the best campus in the capital district. I did take classes here over a decade ago and had one of the best experiences. The college was voted as America's best part school . You want to witness this, just stop by on st. Patrick's day when the students get drunk and start flipping over parked cars!! A great place to go to college and enjoy college life.

I might have to come back to edit this review or add more details. I had the best counselor Ash***, Eliz**** and Jenn. Best people to work with. I have an international background, they really helped me 360*, I mean the admin people go above and beyond to make things possible for you, to succeed. I have had the best experience here. The teachers are the best as well. This is not even exaggeration because I had classes with them. They help you in most flexible way possible. Most of them are charges nurses and providers and doctors. This is an awesome school. Might be over charging a bit, but if you get the aid then what else matters. They will enable you to get your certification and earn more money anyways. I really had done the whole math on it. This is one of the best options around. Went to the Albany campus. Saw the ad on Facebook, filled out my info and got the email the next day to come in and take the TEAS for nursing. They are quick with everything. They are available Saturday n Sunday, no playing games. You do have to put in the work though. They have strict policies and they do follow it to the bone, especially with nursing. I respect the teachers and it shows. Some students don't respect the teachers and they were ready to yell at the teachers and admin. To each its own. As a student, you do have to put in the work and show up for the classes , there is no shortcut to school and if you think you can turn them around and not do the work, it might not end up good for you.

At first I thought wow this could be really worth it, and as time went…read moreon I started to notice staff quitting, student needs not being met, no clear communication, inadequate teaching, and plenty more. Even with one place refusing to continue the relationship for clinicals and the school scrambling to find another. They try to drag out student courses even though they claim to be "accelerated". You take 2 classes every 8 weeks and no summer breaks like a normal 2 year college. If your looking to get a degree as an MA or LPN, I would 100% recommend you search other schools out. I would have given this place a 0 star rating but I am not allowed.
