If you're serious about academics and/or getting a good job, don't go here.
- In your average 100-level class, maybe 1-in-5 students will do the assigned reading
- Anytime students have to do work outside of class time, they whine about the workload
Honestly this school was a disapointment for all the hype. I had a few wonderful professors and a few great classes, but over all the education I got was a disapointment compared to my community college. I only learned theory here, not real world skills. Toward the end of my time there they cut a whole bunch of classes for my degree and the classes they did provide had nothing to do with my Criminal Justice Degree. If it werent for the great internship I had, l probably would considered my time there a complete waste. Im very disappointed with how they use student and government funds, I dont see how it goes toward students at all. Ive only seen it go towards art on the property, poor revamping of old buildings, and terrible academic staff, instead of adding greatness to the academics provided or to the multicultural community (which it lacks even though they brag about the 12% multicultural community they hold...because its "such a remarkable amount"....not really folks). For as much as they brag about themselves I dont really see what is worth bragging about, I certainly dont brag about going here to others because my academic experience doesnt even come close to the powerful knowledge that my friends walked away with from UAlbany.
The videos and flyers they post for the graduating class say it all. Sure, lots of people go to grad school, but most of them are going to unranked social science programs that give them virtually no chance at a good job. A couple are getting good jobs with good companies, but the majority are either unemployed, or making $25-30K in some dead end job.
- Maybe 5-10 people in each graduating class get what would objectively be called a "good outcome." Nobody ever gets into medical school, maybe 5 students in the last 30 years have gone to top law or business schools. Granted, if you want to go on to get a MA in Gender Studies from the University of Southern Idaho, you could do worse.
Both my husband and I attended Oneonta and we absolutely loved it. Great teachers, good size campus and tons of groups to join. Counselors were easy to get in contact with and very helpful.
+ Some great professors, particularly in the Biology Department
Omg
- Whiny, entitled, lazy, stupid classmates. The majority of students here just want to scrape a C+/B- without cutting into their party schedule
+ I'm in the minority, but I like the location.
- Lots of rude/unhelpful staff
+ You can usually find a nice, quiet spot in the library to get work done
I have classmates who've succeeded since leaving here, but this school had nothing to do with it.
SUNY Oneonta is a very good college with quite rigorous academics (for the most part) with 5 nationally accredited and recognized majors that land excellent white collar jobs if graduating with good grades, all with just a 4 year degree. The professors are EXCELLENT, every single one I have had there in 5 years with the exception of ONE are quite exceptional teachers many whom are world renowned in their field as well as kind, accessible, and for the most part approachable and down to earth. If one plays ones cards right you can leave Oneonta with a bachelors degree from a college whose academics and student population get better with each passing year as well as fond memories of parties, friends, and the whole college life experience.
