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. The University at Albany is renowned as a center of learning. This is my 1776th Yelp review - in this year America declared its Independence from Great Britain! God Bless America! Go Danes.

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.

RPI We went to visit this university and did a tour. It was…read moreearly April and it snowed lightly the day we were there. It's a pretty campus with red brick buildings. 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.

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.

I don't even know where to start. Mildred Elley is an absolute joke of an institution. I was lucky…read moreenough to be given a scholarship from Caring Gene for ME's LPN program - I felt so lucky! (foreshadowing here) My first 3 semesters went swimmingly, until my Summer 1 semester that started in July. Students were not made aware the ME lost all of their LPN educators (we had to find out by word of mouth) ... us students were left with no teachers! ME came up with the brilliant idea to scramble up whatever "teachers" they could find to teach these classes from MA, Long Island, etc. This is nursing school, y'all... we were left to self-teach ourselves, online, from home, how to be nurses. When the students expressed our concerns to administration and our "teachers", administration never responded and our "teachers" would tell us to "calm down", "take it down a notch", "start thinking like adults". After 2 weeks of going from a straight A student on the President's List, I found myself failing my classes... not because I'm a bad student, but because I never agreed to self-teach myself how to become a nurse! I don't know what I'm doing, that's why I signed up for college!! When I finally had enough, I reached out to Caring Gene, my scholarship rep, I informed them about what is going on at ME and I asked if my scholarship is able to transfer to another institution. Unfortunately, ME is the only school that Caring Gene works with. BUT! Caring Gene was already made aware of the disarray at ME. My rep let me know that ME intentionally took on too many LPN students to obtain the extra funding. When the LPN staff quit, it left ME up the creek without a paddle - letting the students suffer. MILDRED ELLEY IS AN ABSOLUTE JOKE AND THE DEPT OF HEALTH, DEPT OF EDUCATION SHOULD ABSOLUTELY INVESTIGATE THIS CRAP MOBILE OF A "COLLEGE". DOOOO NOTTTTT GOOOO HEREEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The school may be good, but instead I find it overpriced, less than forthcoming with information to learn, and the advisor did little to make me feel like I should be in attendance at her prestigious school. Needless to say I took my money back to a cheaper school where I felt I was getting an education and better advisement.

I am currently attending the Sage College of Albany's graphic design program, and I am pretty…read morepleased so far. Class sizes are small, teacher's actually get to know their students. While I have had issues with certain adjuncts, all in all I am very happy with the program. The only things Sage's graphic design program is missing is David Grey. His departure to a different school out west was crushing to say the least.

Where do I begin? At first this school was apart of SUNY Albany and now it is trying to be its own…read moreSUNY Polytechnic Institute. It's very confusing and it's filled with administrative BS-ing. So much paperwork. Sometimes the account login, wifi, a lot of technicality is in flux because of this transition phase. Who do you go to report a problem? "Go to this person" "No go to that person b/c of the transition" "Oh that person doesn't work here anymore" etc. Just transition already! Also it's filled with so many different companies and people which I am not complaining about. But there are certain buildings and places that you can't go without the SUNY ID, which again is muddled with the transition so it is hard to access a room which was once your classroom to a room that is now controlled and operated by another tech company. So stupid. Also the degree is way too specialized and hard that it is almost impossible to get out of the engineering. Maybe you can intern at one of the partner companies, but it is very hard to move onto another grad program like MBA or medicine because the bachelors in nanotechnology was way too specialized and hard to complement another profession. So it forces students to do another bachelors!

Hudson Valley Community College gets a bad reputation for the lack of education most people receive…read morefrom the school. Let's be realistic here, YOU are responsible for your education. It's your job to research out the Teacher's for the classes you'll be taking and challenge yourself. There are a ton of great Professors on Campus and their Office Hours are always more than accommodating especially since you can just e-mail them as well. Each semester I check RateMyProfessor.com to see which teachers for my classes will help me expand my knowledge and gain better understanding of the subject. If people stopped picking easy classes, they might find that HVCC is a pretty good school. For incoming students, GO to the Orientation, it's so helpful and it's free. You get a chance to check out everything at the school and you get free stuff from the college for your Freshman Semester from USB Drives to free t-shirts! For the price of tuition, the amenities, activities, discounted tickets, trips, clubs, fairs and all other student activities offered, this is a pretty great school. I'm planning on transferring to SUNY Albany after I've finished my A.S.S. here and I think attending this school has been a great decision and a HUGE money saver.

Excelsior University offered a flexible online program that made it possible to earn my RN while…read moreworking, and I appreciated that flexibility. However, if you live in Minnesota, carefully research the ADN program's accreditation before enrolling. Although I earned my RN license, I later learned the ADN program is not ACEN accredited. As a result, I was found ineligible for employment as an RN with the VA because my education did not meet its qualification requirements. I also encountered employment barriers with St. Cloud Hospital related to the program's accreditation status. I wish these potential limitations had been made much clearer before I enrolled. For me, it has felt like an expensive paperweight despite earning my RN license. Do your homework before committing to this program.
