Those who do not like
the academics here are the students who do not put
in the time and effort to get the grades they
think they deserve. If you do a little bit of
studying every night you should do great here and if
you get a teacher you do not like just drop
the course they give you plenty of time.(Half of the
semester) There are defiantly
a lot of drugs here on campus but overall everyone
is pretty relaxed. It is a great campus to get
to meet new people if you are a freshman but
I would not suggest transferring here otherwise because it is
practically impossible to meet new people because they are all
so cliquey.
On the
weekends a lot of students go home but there are
still a lot on campus. The only thing is that
most of those students stay in there dorms because the
school practically provides no events for the students to get
out and socialize.
If
you want to join a sports team expect to wake
up every morning at 5,6, or 7 to go to
practice for both semesters and be willing to come back
to the school during vacation time.
If you decide on coming to New Paltz
I think you would really enjoy it because though it
has some bad traits, it is a fun liberal arts
crazy campus. There are always protests and sex meetings going
on all of the time.
