I studied art history, why? I must be an idiot. As an older transfer student, I could say the experience of living down there and seeing the city was far better than the education itself. One of my art history professors stated that there wasn't any money in a master's of art history, so I didn't bother. I also had the single most immature roommate named Cass, who at one time insisted that I teach him how to use the apartment equipped washer, dryer. Long story short they were about to evict him. At the last minute they let him stay. My last semester I lived in new Rochelle in an apartment, which I should have done all along.
Cafeteria food was mediocre at best, even though they will insist that they've won awards for it.
No conservative viewpoints tolerated here. And older students? Well some just view with suspicion.( as in what took you so long?) ( do you teach here!?)
This campus has 400 acres yet no bike trails, (as of 2008 ) so you will just have to ride on the roads as I did.
Your suburban raised, brainwashed liberal embracing highminded late teen-early twenties child/student should fit right in here. Wait till their student loans are due and they start making their way in the world, then they will find out how useless their education/major is.
The architect Kahn designed this place, yet was prone to flooding. A teacher/professor onced said to me, " that's what happens when you hire one of the great architects of the day and don't take his advice". Other fixtures such as a big stupid green clock tower thing was added, along with other ill- fitting additions just didn't make sense in my eyes. At the time Anderson hill rd resembled the hoch chi min trail. Typo there.
I still have yet to make a dent in my student loans. Looking back it was a mistake, it did get me out of syracuse for a couple of years, and the MET. is just wonderful.
