SUNY Cortland Reviews

Great academic campus with amazing faculty and staff. Recommend bringing an extra coat during the winter months

Best college in New York (the history department is especially awesome)!

My experience at this university is horrible. Especially the racism that a student that is apart of a minority group will experience. Open use of racial slurs from the the students and the towns people, it's as if they have never seen people of races before and if you want to stand up for things you believe in and not conform to just being there among the population then you will be ridiculed for it. My time there as a graduate student was very short and I began to fear for my life after receiving a death threat after not standing during the National Anthem, which as an American I have the right to do. As far as academics go especially as a graduate student it was very horrible. I was studying Recreation as a graduate student and I was in class with undergraduates as well as graduate students, where is this done at? and the professors have no clue what they are talking and will misguide students. I would not advise any person of a minority group to attend this university and I will also use that same statement for those that may be thinking to attend there for their Masters in Recreation. In addition, very few student actually like to work and feel entitled.

Moving my son in for the second year. I enjoy the facilities.

BA, MSED, CAS. Enough said! Great experience! Great School!

My family has been going to cortland for 3 generations now. We have all been happy with our experiences

Learn to make more parking spaces or stop giving tickets out when those spaces disapear.

Great environment for the right student. The student who will not accept second place.

If you want a real job don't go here. You are only a number amongst the rest of the students. Career services didn't provide any help for a job after graduation. Still don't have a real job two years after graduating. My community college I graduated from was better than this school. SUNY Cortland is nothing but a party school. The food is also pretty bad. There are laxatives in the food in case they undercook anything. Don't expect to get quality food anywhere unless you drive to Ithaca. My best time here was the first year here and it just progressively got worse. Even the professors will tell you good luck getting a job after graduation. Very discouraging, loss of interest, and motivation. I only had one good professor for a history elective I had to take that wasn't even major based. The parking is also pretty bad and a half mile from the dorms. There are only two parking lots. My community college had five times more parking than this school.

I find that the Financial Aid Dept at Suny Cortland is not very helpful. I have delt with other colleges and they assist you in any way possible.Cortlanf staff (in fin aid Dept) are very short and not informative. Yet when u switch to another Dept they have excellent customer service skills.

SUNY Cortland is a wonderful institution! I am late getting to my bachelors degree and they have been accommodating the entire time. They easily transferred as many of my credits as they could, quickly got me into classes, helped me feel comfortable, and continue to try and give me financial advice so I can finish my degree. They really go the extra mile all the time and are adamant about getting us to graduate. I love this school and highly recommend it to everyone!

Moved my sister into her dorm, what a great clean environment & security is great

Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood

wonderful 4 year experience for. my daughter Nicole

Highly enjoyed my college career at SUNY Cortland. I lived in multiple res halls on campus and each one has been renovated. The food options there are amazing and far surpass many colleges I've visited since graduating (also are much more affordable). The professors are helpful, and a lot of them will work with you if you need help. My advisor was incredibly helpful when I decided to change my major 2 years into my program. I got involved in recreational athletics, radio, res. Life, and worked on campus. Anytime I visit, it still feels like home and that's how a college experience should feel. Shout out to Mr. & Mrs. Bitterbaum!

Very nice open campus. My friend goes here and she really seems to be getting a great education and the cost is not going to leave her in debt forever!

I commuted to this college and I did not enjoy my time here. Most other students acted entitled. Other students were not welcoming and some of the professors I had made mandatory classes not enjoyable. Lucky for me I transferred from another school and my major was transfers only. The classes I had for my major were my favorite because it was just those students and we all got along great. The parking is overly expensive especially when you have to park and ride a bus anyway. I was thankful I was only stuck there for two years.

Great College With ALot Of Of Expansion Taking Place Currently

The staff did a great job at preparing for first batch of students arrival. Dorm was very clean, and everyone with mask .

excellent education if you take advantage of the resources

Advisors are absolutely terrible! Help at this college and assistance for this college is non existant. Forget about being a safe school either. This college needs to seriously rethink their setup, goals, and morals. Don't count on this being fixed either!!
