University Reviews

If you go here you get a great job. other then that it doesn't have much going for it. Needs some serious updating to be close to competitive to the other schools of its caliber.

The campus needs to come into the 2000's, unless you play hockey

Come here for the degree, not the school. Professors don't speak english well. Especially ECE courses. The campus is pretty small and nothing special. Living off campus allows you to get a way better living space than the school offers for about half the price. It also gets you off meal plan which is a huge waste of money. Greek life is strong.

About what you would expect from the north country, the weather is cold and there aren't a lot of people but you can make the best of it. Classes will make you work so be prepared to put in the effort or take a low grade. Some professors don't hide the fact that they are just looking for research. Students are extremely friendly, great community.

Study

Food is awful and does not agree with most peoples stomachs. No useful accommodations for food allergies. Not really much to do here on the weekends unless you're a partier. Job placement 10/10. Most of the professors are great. Potsdam itself is a cute town but like I said not a lot to do here especially considering there's 4 colleges in the area.

It's fun if you have the right friends. Work load is tough but you get out what you put in.

I am proud to have attended Clarkson. I received a world-class education, met incredible people, and gained valuable experience. The facilities, internet, food, and campus life all continuously improved through my 4 years there and continues to do so. There are many chances to get involved, so go make a difference!

Good but not great

Don't call campo if your friend is having a seizure, they wont pick up.

great school you are certainly going to need to work very hard. potsdam is a great little college town. The speed programs are excellent and well funded and super valuable skills for the students

Attended for a year and TRANSFERRED. The facilities are unattractive, old, dirty. Barely kept up besides before open houses(roads/sidewalks not plowed during brutal winter). Food is horrendous, makes you sick and no variety/healthy options. School has NO fun activities for students despite large bill. Only plus is placement rate and engineering rep

Good, solid school. A lot of hard work and studying though and the parties are limited due to the gender ratio.

I've really enjoyed my time here. While Potsdam is remote and there's not a tremendous amount to do in town, it hasn't bothered me whatsoever--I've never been bored. Clarkson's molded my study habits and work ethic, and it's made me a much stronger and better person.
