It's all about the money, PR, and units of sales(student enrollment numbers).
Once you get in (easy enough) you find yourself in a never ending cul-de-sac of additional course requirements, fees, and general hoops to jump through.It helps if you are willing to abandon any pretense to independent or intelligent thinking or research.

This place is a joke. The college cares more about their money than their students, there is no wiggle room with financial aid and those in charge of fees are looking for new ways to increase your semester bill. St Rose is constantly adding to their campus at the expense of their students, which they advertise very clearly and are very proud of.

This is the same case for the professors, about 1/3 actually care about their students, the rest only care about their pay checks and their inability to speak English, if you do not understand them that's on you, they do not take responsibility or offer any form of help to the language barriers.

As for classes, there are far too many unnecessary classes, explain to me how does Jazz History and Business Administration relate? The college also requires an internship in order to graduate, which is completely on the students to find, oh and it must be unpaid! Free labor AND paying tuition. There is also a capstone requirement which makes seniors write a business paper 120+ pages, this is fine, however when the teachers openly admit that there are unnecessary sections and that it is more work than the graduate program, the course should be reevaluated, did I mention its only 3 credits. Your social life that semester will be in the library and with any adult beverages in your refrigerators.

How about parking, oh parking! Yeah, good luck. St Rose has a limited amount of parking places, yet an unlimited amount of parking passes! Which are also way over priced, currently $100 for a full year. Again, St Rose is all about their money, not their students.

Finally, the food, horrible and over priced. It will send you straight to the bathroom. You are also not allowed to take food away from the dining hall, if you are paying for it you should be able to do what you want with it.St Rose is all about their public image and their money, their students do not matter.

I am very happy with my decision to go to St Rose. I came in as an Education major and changed to Geology my second semester. The Geology program here is great. It's very small so you get lots of attention from the professors. We go on many field trips and get tons of field experience. As far as the liberal ed classes, some of them are annoying but they're interesting if you keep an open mind. When I was applying to St Rose I was a little concerned by the high acceptance rate, thinking that they let everybody in. I couldn't have been more wrong though-- the students here are for the most part smart and focused... and those that aren't usually don't come back the second semester. Everybody here is so nice and the school is small enough that you always see people you know walking to class, but big enough that everybody doesn't know your business. I also recommend doing a Pathways program freshman year. There's a bunch you can choose from and it's a great way to meet people and learn your way around the school before the year starts. You also get to move in early, which is a huge plus. There's an Adventure one, an Art one, and a Community Service one. I have a really close group of friends from doing it and it's definitely the best decision I made (besides choosing to go to St. Rose)!
