I thought i would love this university butAverageUndecided
I thought i would love this university but i absolutely hate it. I was put into a low rise on state quad second floor. I'm up until 2am on school nights because people are shouting constantly outside my dorm. People also stand out side and smoke cigarets which comes into my room and makes it smell like shit. The girl I am rooming with I picked online because she did not look like a bitch but it is the complete opposite. My suit mates are basic bitches that don't like me because I'm not as plastic as them and my other suite mates are international students that do not know there boundaries. I am into parting in fact I love parting but all the parties I go to are so rachet and I always feel like I'm going to get raped there. I honestly rather have stayed home with no friends then came to this university.

Question
Albany has a great nightlife and things appearBrightCommunications
Albany has a great nightlife and things appear to be turning around as there is now a new football field and the long awaited construction on the fountain has been completed. The renovations to the campus give it a new feel and there are plenty of clubs and extra curricular activities to take part in. The city itself is very fun for "21" year olds as there are many bars and some clubs to check out.

Question
I was followed twice on this campus.BrightEnglish
I was followed twice on this campus. BOTH TIMES the blu lights that I passed were OUT OF ORDER. When I called security I was told to push a blue light, then after explaining, I was told that 'next time call the police'... they did not send someone over to help me or to see if the man was still on campus. A good friend of mine was raped on campus in the tunnels that they have (which aren't safe at ALL).
