SUNY Canton. If you're looking for a fun college experience look elsewhere. If you're a local commuter then this is a good place to go. SUNY Canton is extremely boring especially the second semester when half of your friends won't return and it is -3 out. In the beginning it is exciting and fun with a packed campus as the year goes on it gets quieter and empty. Cliques formed fast and all the local kids just hang out with people they went to high school with, so it is hard sometimes to make friends. The town of Canton has one crappy "club" called Tik Tok, which is std ridden and filled with preppy douchebags from SLU who hate Canton kids. Other than that there is a Mcdonalds and gas station. Walking to town is a hike and don't go alone especially if you're a girl, people have been jumped on the path. College kids typically complain about being bored but after going to this school you will never again. I am writing this on a friday night in my room because there is nothing to do. To have any sort of fun you must at least need to have a friend with a car, which also means you might only have friends because of your car. There are barely any clubs or on campus activities. Everything closes on the weekends. The frat parties are extremely lame 80% of the people at the parties are guys and probably 2% of the females don't look like farm animals. The campus is depressing and ghetto on the weekends. Most of the people living on campus are black city people, they are mostly friendly but you got your thugs. I can see how they can be intimidating if you're from farms but they are mostly jet loud. The school is pretty safe, just don't run your mouth and be stupid. Like any college, there is theft. Most the teachers are helpful and fair. The faculty is helpful especially accommodative services and TRIO. Chaney Dining Hall is awful, some nights it is ok but if you like to eat dinner later at like 7 or 8 or lunch around 2 or later, then your stuck with crappy quesadillas and rubber tasting hamburgers. If you're looking for a fun college experience DON'T GO HERE. Happily i have four miserable months left.
