The State University of New York College - Geneseo

I'm glad that most of the students here had a positive experience at Geneseo. I, personally, had an absolutely horrific experience there.

The vast majority of my horrible time was self-inflicted. Many of my biases come from the fact that I was a depressed/alcoholic freshman, and did not take advantage of what the college offered. That said, I still think that you should seriously reconsider attending Geneseo.

There is nothing remotely interesting in town to do, at all. Nothing. The campus revolves around Greek life. Many of the guys are terribly unattractive and yet shallow at the same time. I met very few compassionate people. Most of the students are pseudointellectual (read: imbeciles.) I've actually heard Geneseo students refer to the school as,

Harvard on the Hill.

News flash- you are not Harvard material! Most of the students I met were incredibly stupid, actually.

I was accepted into U of R, Northeastern, and a number of other decent schools, and I lament to this day that I didn't go ANYWHERE other than Geneseo. Again, this is very biased… I hate small towns, they depress me to the extreme, I hate frats/sororities, can't stand bimbos, religion turns me off (and some of the students will shove it down your throat, trust me.)

In summary, Geneseo isn't a bad place for bubbly soccer kids that are future suburban, minivan-driving stepford wives. If you hold a cross in one hand and a beer in the other at the same time, Geneseo is for you. Bonus points if you force religious rhetoric on others while bombed out of your mind.

If you love cities, diversity, intellectual challenges, different viewpoints… my advice is to stay away.
