The University at Albany is a great school,Quite BrightBusiness - Management and Administration
The University at Albany is a great school, its academics are on par with upper echelon universities offering a world class education for an amazing price, and with the university investing more and more money into its academics we are only improving and opening up more opportunities for students. So if you are ready to be challenged academically and be welcomed by an undergraduate population that resembles a tight knit community then come see what Albany has to offer. Division 1 athletics that give Great Danes a rallying call on the weekends, and enough clubs and organizations to meet every student's interests, there's never a dull moment when you're apart of the UAlbany Family.

Question
No University is 100 percent perfect but fromBrightCommunications
No University is 100 percent perfect but from my experience here at this University I have had more positives than negatives. This school provides a lot of opportunities for their students it is just a matter of whether you take advantage of them. This school is also a very diverse school and every culture is included in the community. The social aspect here is vibrant, there is always something to do on campus from programs to events and even internship fairs. One thing I would say that I dislike is that there aren't a lot of fruit options in the Campus Center, I would like them to incorporate a fruit bar anytime soon. Over all I do not regret my choice attending this college and becoming a member in the community and I encourage other people to do so as well.

Question
I wish I had gone to another school.Business - Management and Administration
I wish I had gone to another school. I graduated but the experience was almost bad. The school made national news for all the wrong reasons. The ex-president was more concerned with making it an EOP school than making it a great learning institution. If you are EOP this is a great school to go to. If you are not; run don't walk away. There are plenty of other learning institutions with better balance and concern for learning and students safety.
