Keuka college is for certain people, those who want to make close friends and be a little secluded from the rest of the world. The school is outside Pen Yann NY and there is not much to do there other than see a movie or go swimming. The people at the school are generally really nice, although there are always some douchey lax bros that are present everywhere.

Keuka is a small school made up of primarily girls (not a bad thing but there can be a lot of drama). The ratio is something like 7:1 girls:guys.

The campus is outdated and the residens halls are not that great. Davis, the freshman dorm, sucks because it is separated from the rest of the school. I lived there my freshman year and it was fun because I got really close to everyone there, but at the same time the walk up and down the hill is time consuming. Space is where most of the parties happen, it can get pretty crazy in there. Saunders is an all girl hall, too much drama; Harrington is composed of triples and quads, although it costs a little more, its nice to have your own bathroom and heat/ AC controls. ball hall is similar to Harrington but the bathrooms are shared.

The food is not bad, it just takes some getting used to like most every school.

After attending KC for 2 years, I decided to transfer to a Vermont school to get out of the sticks and live in a city, also skiing influenced my decision.

The staff and classes at Keuka are good, people are nice, professors are accessible, and most of them are reasonable when it comes to assignments.

The Library is nice, a little old but it does the job

Experiential learning is big at Keuka, there are a lot of opportunities to get experience though what is called a "field period" where over summer or winter break (winter break is all of January) you do an internship to earn credits. I went to Europe with a class led group and visited 4 different countries with a very knowledgeable professor, Dr. Diamond.

I personally loved keuka, it was close to home but i always stayed on Campus with my friends, Parties were typically in dorm rooms or at the Lax house and ya it was a ton of fum. College is what you make of it, i know for me it has been really easy making friends at Keuka and i got to know so many cool people.
