Suny Adirondack, one of the worst experiences of my life honestly. The dorms are mostly the reason for the cause of trouble on campus. Don't get me wrong ,the staff are great (most), but for the other 80% of the campus, I would say avoid. If you can afford to go somewhere else do so. We could not really do anything without being told no, or being questioned on where we were going or what we were doing. Public Safety constant;y was in your business or inviting themselves into rooms to room check. Also not to mention tension built between students would lead to violent crimes on campus. Vandalism here is an all time high, and there is corruption in the student body as well as officers on campus. A note to take as well is, that almost anybody can get into this college, and with dorms comes mixing NYC kids with Upstate country kids, does not go well. This really was not a good place to be. My friend almost died in the lobby (while choking on his vomit officers put him on his back?!). Amazed me of how untrained they are to deal with an OD situation, because some spiked my friends what ever that night. I made a few good friends, but refuse to go visit due to public safety honestly. They give me the hardest time trying to go knock on my friends dorms to see if they were home. It was like high school mixed with a prison here. Also the cops are right in the dorms, hope you sleep well if you go here. Probably not though because how loud everyone had there music. This college was not a college and never will be.
P.S. I'm sorry to my past professors whom see this, this had nothing against the program I was in. Honestly this is a good school for Adventure Education though being located right under the Adirondacks, just don't get mixed up in the riff raft of the under belly of the school.
