Alfred State College — Local services in Town of Alfred

I agree the college is not exactly good but what 1 person would say is good another person might say that's not Good what's expensive for one may be cheap for another doesn't matter no money is worth this college whatever you think is cheap whatever you think is expensive is irrelevant this is not the place to go I attended I graduated And I can personally I test to and also agree with a lot of the other negative comments I have just looked at Also the one that said people are racist their racism goes both ways but there deffinatly more so to others I was also told that I do not belong there I happen to be a white male I just happen to have long hair and a bandana on they don't like that I looked so different or whatever who knows I would stay away or at least try to pick a different place They're really good business people meaning they're good at scamming people. And students are racist to other students. Like I said I was a white male that don't even fit in and I didn't have an issue either way with the racist there is a different type of breed they were raised differently then people that were raised in NYC/long island. Also don't say you lived in weiland because everyone will just think that that means you're rich It's the back woods up there so there are A lot of what they called "farm boys" Basically there is a mad rednecks and 0 girls And I'm not being racist towards the redneck I know it's a derogatory term I don't mean it that way at all in fact like I said I was friends With all however I did see racist things being done or said to people by faculty and students. If you care enough and you read this entire post trust me try anywhere else Was one of the funnest party places but not ever at a Frat house party I don't even have a comment on any of that I personally don't get why anyone would want to. If you can handle your ship and take care yourself on the street you will have a lot of fun but if you cannot I don't know what would happen to you I honestly I can tell you I personally saids a female from 2 males trying to do something to Her and they would not even let her have her phone back as she was crying and screaming for help in the middle of the street in a short dress in the middle of Winter in snow something was really wrong with that picture and no one seemed to care. I wonder what would have happened if I didn't go over to the 2 guys and got her phone back and had a bouncer that happened to be near me At a bar I was friends with Along with 3 other guys walk her back to Room because she was that afraid. This is wrong!!!!!!!!!! Should never be a thing But I think what's worse is how everyone...

I wish I could give this school no stars and a billion thumbs down. They rushed me to get my fafsa completed along with my tap and admissions gave me hard time with mix information on a CERTIFICATE program NOT DEGREE program that I wanted to get into all because they did not want to accept an unofficial transcript from a college I'M ALREADY ATTENDING and wait later for an official transcript. From the Admissions head whomever her name was kept trying to give me so called school policy and was clearly not hearing me out or understand my frustration or at least try to see where I was coming from. I am already in another school where they are not even asking for my degree information because again I am in the CERTIFICATE program so why would this school need all of my official information when NO DEGREE IS GOING TO BE GIVEN. They are all full of it and when I called and asked for my information to be discarded that the school can buzz off the admission head tells me that they keep your information until 12months and then they discard it. Well I wanted my information discarded ASAP!!!! They do not need to hold on to my personal information and if they do not I will sue this school and those individuals personally. This school is the freaking worse!!!!!!!!!!! This is why I do not go to or attend colleges in NY! Wonderful place to live but the colleges just like this one are...

Avoid their online RN to BSN program!!! Since their bright star- Dr. Harmon- left, they are increasingly disorganized and unapproachable. The assignments are hard to find on their website; the syllabuses are confusing and self-contradictory.

The workload for one class is insane! For example NURS 7004 - 45 hours of clinical which we have to arrange ourselves; 55 pages of researched writing with APA citations (500 or 750 word APA assignment weekly and two large project papers), community education project- assess, plan, execute, evaluate, write another huge report with photos. ONE class is a half time job!!! God help you if you are trying to take more than one class and working full time!).

In contrast to the ultra-heavy workload placed on students, some professors are scarce- rarely showing up to comment on the discussion forums and with sometimes months long delays in grading assignments. And I have given up attempting to clarify or question by e-mail as I have found the responses rude and condescending- blaming me instead of taking responsibility for a contradictory syllabus or their own website errors.

Too late for me to drop out with thousands of dollars already invested. Not too late...
