SUNY Potsdam

Tissaw was one of the worst psychology professors Ive ever had. He was never clear on the material and wasnt helpful at all with explaining things. Al...

Jan is a great prof because he encourages a learning environment, even if that means the class going off in random tangents about genetics. To him, we...

I'll lead off by saying that I'm a Crane student. This post is more centered around Crane, although many factors are the same. This school is incredible, with brilliant, talented, and personable faculty. The other students are great, as is the food. It's a small town, but I'm in love with it. Sergi's is A1, as is Park Bros. On-campus food is good.

Honestly the crane kids are the worst part. Theyre super extra. Its also really cold for a really long time. Besides that, not much to complain about.

I got to say. I really love it here. This is my home away from home. I dont feel like people give it a chance. There are things to do. Even though they can get repetitive they are so much fun. It does snow ALOT and it does get cold. But honestly i wouldnt trade my experience here for anything

It's aight. never take an art class with danielle though she's the worst

I can't speak for all majors or the Crane experience but as an archaeology major this school has amazing opportunities. There is lots of room to grow and get experience just as an undergrad, and the anthropology club in tandem can set you apart from other arch degrees. Plus the school itself is not super expensive and the food is good.

It is an alright campus overall. The tomato sauce here is either sour or watery with no in between.

Potsdam wasn't my first choice but I'm thrilled I came.

This school disappoints me literally every day. Come for Education or Music, but that's pretty much it. Get your gen eds and as many other courses elsewhere! The town has little to offer (and I come from a small town as it is) and the campus isn't much for entertainment. No speakers or performances aside from Crane concerts. Find another SUNY

Best 4 years of my life.

its not that bad of a school I guess.

I love SUNY Potsdam. I am here after taking some time off from a previous major at another school. I believe I made a great choice in coming here. Over people, professors, students and courses are amazing.

SUNY Potsdam is a great state school! It is extremely flexible and allows you to make the most out of your college experience. If you are interested in a school that is friendly, safe, well-respected, small/person, and equipped with many engaging professors, Potsdam is a great choice.

When I first transferred to Potsdam in 2007, my first thought was "Oh no...I'm in the middle of nowhere". Years after graduation, I have this left to say: Potsdam will stay with me for the rest of my life. The professors, the campus life, and the campus itself truly make me wish I could go back in time.

Great campus and overall atmosphere. Liberal Arts school for sure. Im a business major and came so that I could finish my masters at Clarkson. It's association is great and keeps your overall cost low. Entertain yourself, it is not the high octane pace of a city school so do your work, enjoy the laid back atmosphere and love what you're doing!
