I had poor high school grades and middling SAT scores when I applied at SUNY Cobleskill. I applied because I knew their standards were low enough to allow me to be accepted. Even with that in mind, I was going to be attending a college, and thus expected some challenging but manageable work. I couldn't have been more wrong.

I spent 3 semesters at Cobleskill. Maybe it was just because I was an undecided/liberal arts major, but just about every class I took there was a joke. I expected this for the first semester or two, as I took the most basic of classes, but it was the norm was all three, and would've been for the fourth, after which I'd have gotten an associate's degree that wouldn't have been worth the paper it was printed on. One professor talked constantly about her family, another about his political views, often droning on for the entire class about them. Naturally, these were entirely unrelated to any work we were going to be doing. Classes that had educational value were the exception rather than the norm. There was also the disturbing trend of some of the best professors being semi-retired part timers, as well as the even more disturbing fact that many of the professors had no business teaching the subjects they were. I had a professor with her doctorate in psychoanalysis teaching an english class, another who was a computer science professor teaching philosophy, and so on. Perhaps this is the norm, and due to the fact that Cobleskill is mainly an agriculture and technology college. Perhaps. But these classes I speak of counted just as much toward degrees as any others offered there.

I would advise anyone attending Cobleskill to do so only under the following conditions. If you are an agriculture major, the school is supposed to be one of the best, or so I'm told. If you had poor high school grades, then this is an excellent place to make yourself look better before transferring.
