The State University of New York College of Agriculture and Technology - Cobleskill

Cobleskill was well worth the money. Its liek anything in life, you get out of it what you put into it. If you find this school a joke, your probably a loser looking for a free ride in life.

Alumnus Male -- Class 2000

This is my fourth and final year at SUNY Cobleskill, and my experience has been a most positive one. Yes, Cobleskill does have a bad stereotype, of "aggies" and "city kids" but at the end of the day, the amount of happiness and satisfaction that you will have at Cobleskill, or anywhere else is largely dependent on your involvement. If you're bored, you're choosing to be bored. Faculty are really helpful and know you by your name, and other staff members of campus are very friendly. Cobleskill is a small campus, so word travels fast. But overall, I am very happy that I came to Cobleskill and am confident that others would like it as well.

Education Quality: A+, Surrounding City: C-

I've just finished my second year in the Agricultural Business BT program, I'm an RA, Orange Key Ambassador, Student Government member, and member of CSA. The education I've had in the past two years has been top notch, although in the coming years I'm slightly concerned because of the number of faculty leaving the department, but I have no doubt the remaining faculty will keep the program running well.

As far as the general campus, if you are bored, you are bored by choice. There are tons of campus activities going on during the week and weekend, BYP the student union has dance nights that are fun and safe. Off campus activities are few, but Albany is only a 45-50 minute drive and there are random things around town to keep you busy like the $3.50/person movie theatre, as well as mini-golf and go-kart racing. People on campus are extremely active outside as well, there are intramural sports to keep busy and if you walk outside the dorm you'll be certain to find someone throwing a ball or frisbee. There are off-campus parties regularly if you are interested in that type of activity.

There are dozens of clubs on campus to stay involved with, and since it is a small campus it is relatively easy to become an officer of a club on campus.Faculty and staff know everyone by name, and the largest class size I've ever had at Cobleskill thus far has been about 80 students. There are superb teachers on campus that are world-renowned in their profession. I have no doubt that Cobleskill will excel and become a notable four year institution in no time.
