Alfred University

“The professors are amazing and really care about their students. Class sizes are small so you get a lot of one-on-one attention. The art and engineering programs are top-notch.”

“Alfred University has given me so many opportunities to grow as a person and as a student. The tight-knit community makes it easy to make friends and the professors genuinely want you to succeed.”

“The ceramics program is world-renowned and the facilities are incredible. If you want to study art, especially ceramics or glass, this is the place to be.”

“Small campus community where everyone knows each other. Professors are accessible and truly invested in student success. Great hands-on learning opportunities.”

“The engineering school is excellent with great job placement. Small classes mean you actually learn and aren't just a number. Campus is beautiful and peaceful.”

“The location is extremely isolated. There's literally nothing to do in the town of Alfred and you need a car to get anywhere. Winters are brutal and depressing.”

“Very expensive for what you get. The financial aid isn't great and you end up paying a lot for a small school in the middle of nowhere. Not worth the cost.”

“The social scene is really limited. Campus can feel claustrophobic because it's so small and isolated. If you're not into the party scene, there's not much else to do.”

“Housing options are limited and some of the dorms are in poor condition. Food options get old really fast. The gym facilities are outdated.”

“The weather is terrible for most of the school year. Grey, cold, and snowy. Seasonal depression is real here. The isolation makes it worse.”
