Not so bright
The school only cares about Art/Engineering students. My required English class required paper about artists. If you didnt understand the art, you couldnt do the paper. This was an english class, not an art history class. My friends History class -- you need to use excell to do the homework -- as in figuring out how many jouls for this, etc. No matter what major you are in, the professors only care about the art and engineering students.

This place is cold and dreary and isolated. Almost everyone would transfer if they could.

Alfred University is what you make of it. I made amazing friends, and we had parties and things to do almost every night. Yes the school is semi divided between jocks and art stars, but you get use to it. Or you do what I did and become friends with both. Your education should come first and Alfred gets an A for trying. The school is small and the town is even smaller, but if your optimistic you will be fine.

Quite Bright
I went to Alfred for a year and a half thinking I was going to go into art. However, I decided to go into Environmental Science instead. This is truly an art and engineering school. If you're into either of those subjects then go for it. There are basically two groups of people at Alfred: the exclusive art student hippies, and the hick football players with their girlfriends. The parties are split up like that too. And of course there is Alfred State across the street to throw in some more po-dunk feel to the place. It is extremely small (and by extremely I mean you feel like you live in a field), and quite unique. If you are an art student though, and want a small hippie population that you will know very well when you walk on campus (because it's so small), then Alfred is an awesome place. As far as the quality of education... I had a few amazing professors that were some of the most intelligent, creative thinking people I've ever met. And the others weren't that bad; they were just average professors.
