Honestly, not the worst place I've ever been.

Honestly, not the worst place I've ever been.
Scenery is pretty nice.
The actual programs are generally well managed.
Price range was fairly moderate, being slightly lower than what would normally be expected for what you get out of it.
Business school is probably the better school to go into here.
Hard, but you'll learn a good amount.

the dorm rooms were terrible and old. on campus visits they only show the nice dorm... they are in the process of renovation but be weary they are unbearably hot during the summer and falling apart! Walking to class is litteraly like walking in Antarctica due to them not having tunnels and they nickel and dime you to death about everything.

As for the education ita decent for my major. I have a B.F.A in Graphic Design from here and learned a rediculous amount from our professors.

life after oswego is tough. I live in Syracuse which isn't a great market for my field. The chair of the department still emails me open positions in Syracuse that might fit for me which is great. So job place is decent but isn't the best.

My daughter attends school here and has had a great experience. The campus is beautiful and the school is constantly improving the facilities. The administration is very proactive and for a small college I m impressed with how much they do for the students. Campus life is welcoming and they offer many things to do outside of the classroom. Winter can be tough with winds off the lake but school is not in session during the worst part of winter. Fall and spring are nice and summer is beautiful. The town is small but they had recently been awarded a huge amount of money by the state and the results are stunning, they have really done a great job improving the downtown and port area and are currently working on a new marina.

I'm currently a student here and honestly I have mixed feelings about this place. I do love the professors and both of my programs (broadcasting and political science) they do spark a lot of conversation and participation. However I can honestly say that I have had some frustrating moments with some of the faculty and institutions from poorly worded and confusing emails regarding my grades and whatnot. There are honestly times I would say you're better off finding things out yourself. The title IX office truly cares about their students, so that's great. However, my biggest issues involved some of my times in the dorm, it almost feels like some of the hall directors look at us like children and I have had multiple issues with their disciplinary program, such as being the only person found responsible for an incident that involved multiple students some of whom lived in the same room as me. One hall director was very rude in another incident. I'm not saying this school is bad in any way shape or form, I've recieved a good education, but there are some issues here that will test your patience. Ever since I moved off campus I've been happy as can be because I no longer have to deal with it

My family had a great experience meeting admissions staff and attending a student-led campus tour. The student staff in admissions were very professional, friendly and knowledgeable. They even arranged for a meteorology student to meet with us on the spot. The dining hall looked like Wegmans and the extensive library was very user friendly. The accessibility resources staff was outstanding, thoroughly committed to ensuring success, especially for the unique needs of first year students.

Amazing comp sci department. Comparable to private schools (RIT, Clarkson, etc) for a fifth of the cost. The professors are amazing and I had a job lined up after graduation by my sophomore year. Currently interning with IBM because of recommendations and knowledge gained from Oswego.

Also a really great living environment. The people are amazing.

GO LAKERS!!!

I used to look at pages such as this to see wether or not I shoud look into the school for my daughter. If by chance you are a family that is looking I as a parent of a current student would advise you to look elsewhere as I am not happy with the school.

This was a terrible college, I've been to several others. This was by far the worse. Unless you don't value your education, and only go for the parties, I would strongly advise looking into another school

I've been here studying last summer. It's an university just beside Lake Ontario. The sunset was so stunning. It's in New York State, but far from New York City. Feeling the tranquility and nature was so chill. I like the library. The attitude of the staff was nice, and I rented and watched DVDs there. There's also a Starbucks near the library. The memory here would be always one of my cherishing treasures.

Been here only once for GENIUS and I gotta say, I absolutely love this place! The infrastructure, the commodities, the food, the atmosphere, etc... everything is just awesome. I love the wildlife present here as well, getting the occasional squirrel and the (darn) skunk. The pathway could use some work as a few parts are cracked. I'd give a 9.9/10. Hurrah! Love from Vietnam. Would love to study here someday. :)

I went to visit Oswego last year and this year, it was wonderful! Everyone was so nice, welcoming and helpful. It's right on lake Ontario, beautiful to just sit down and read or to do work. Small, cozy atmosphere and small student to staff ratio. Can't wait to start the meteorology program in the fall there.

Arguably, the most beautiful campus in New York State! Enjoyed my studies immensely! I can highly recommend Anthropology as a minor course of study for any major, especially if you're a student of history!

Beautiful setting on Lake Ontario. Seemingly laid back atmosphere, small student-teacher ratio, high tech, great amenities like a stone fireplaces in the dorm lobbies. Modern and contemporary architecture.

We dropped my daughter off to begin her college career. Like most universities, all of the comforts are available. The town, itself, is very small, but the campus has enough to keep the kids fully occupied. I was impressed with the library as well as how up kept the grounds are. I oy wish that my undergraduate experience looked and felt as good as this campus does.

I have been to there foe 2 times.

I have been to there foe 2 times.
First time is for GENIUS Olympiad where my son and colleague made final contest in 2014. They won Silver in Art category and Scholarship.
Second time was in 2015 for his admission of graduate classes.
So the campus is in my mind most of the time and love it.
