Quite Bright
I'm a senior graduating this year. Yes, it may be a commuter school but if you do not associate or become involved, just like any other campus, you'll lose interest in college because it is only work work work.I chose Sage because of the size, it is small and there is definitely a family feel although you may not like other students.
Education Quality: A+, Surrounding City: C

Super Brilliant
Sage is good for ONLY academics, Sage is NOT good for you're trying to maintain an active social life on campus.

If you're not outgoing and talk to other students, you'll definitely feel isolated.
Some of the school's clubs or whatever try to do cool stuff but it's somewhat cornball. I applaud them for their effort, if any.

I like my school and is fine going here, but one of Sage's biggest downfalls is the dead 'student life'. On the upside, many students keep excellent grades and are smart.

Since Sage is like really quiet, one would assume all you can focus on is coursework-that is correct.

The food is great.
Students on a meal plan or points can go to Albany College of Pharmacy cafeteria which is shared with Albany Law School next door and eat meals there. The cafeteria is huge and you can see other students from those schools too, although they might be clique-y as well. Sage's overpriced bookstore is in the same building.

Sage has three schools: Sage College-for undergraduates; Russell Sage-all women's college with both undergrad and grad courses and Sage Graduate College for graduate students. If you're considering attending and/or applying for one of these Sage colleges and searching for reviews on various websites, you will not find any because the students and faculty do not participate in surveys at all, which is terrible for prospective students. Many students do not like being here at Sage because there is nothing to do on campus besides go to class or a sports game. The students that decide to stay are students trying to just complete their coursework to earn a degree and don't want to bother with the process of transferring.

Majority of the students do not participate in club activities, if there are any existing clubs-expect a low participation turnout. Plus, Sage is located in the tri-city area of Albany-Schenectady-Troy which sucks when considering a social life.

If you find a Sage Student who says they like and think Sage is fun, they're pretending.
