I thought I would only attend Potsdam until I figure out where I wanted to go, but enjoyed myself so much that I decided to stay. Location- Potsdam is in a very isolated area of Upstate NY. If you are outdoorsy you'll love the opportunities to ice climb, hike, boat, and camp. There are tons of campus sponsered trips and activity opportunities. As a warning-the winter is long and cold! Even though it is isolated regionally, socially there are four local colleges-Suny Potsdam, Suny Canton, St. Lawrence University, and Clarkson University. So there are plenty of people to meet and socialize with. I do recommend you have a car-you'll want it to get around. Food- College food is actually pretty good! Dorm Life- Some dorms are older than others and therefore nicer than others. Students are pretty open minded and pleasant. I don't remember much trouble in any of the time I spent there. Education- My teachers were what made me fall in love with Potsdam. They were all very one on one. I got plenty of individualized attention. My small classes often meant that teachers were able to come up with creative projects and teaching methods. Be prepared-students are pretty liberal minded. In the end- It's not for everyone, know what you are getting into before you go, but if it sounds like a fit-you'll really enjoy your time there.

It's a nice place to be once you get used to the small town, middle of nowhere way of life. I really like it up there. You just feel very accepted there, by students AND teachers.

Geographically the school is isolated in northern New York, but I find that the Potsdam's place on the map in no way influences the quality of education I receive here. The Psychology Department, in particular, is excellent. It is composed of bright, caring professors who go out of their way to be available to you. I have found the quality of most other departments at SUNY Potsdam to be average to above-average. The only exception is the Political Science department, which is sub-par due to an overt liberal bias. I would strongly urge any prospective Political Science majors to apply to a different university. Education Quality: A+, Social Life: D Have a Question?
