I’ve never been here before, but I may attend school here in the future.

Overpriced and cliquey, but nice school with great faculty.

Graduated with BA in Sociology in 2010.

Pros- very small class sizes. Around 30 for core liberal arts education courses, 15-20 for more focused courses in your major. I feel like straight out of high school, this is what I needed. Most of the faculty is great. The school is small so there is definitely a sense of community and you will see the same classmates in many different courses. The facilities like the auditorium, gym, cafeteria, library, bookstore, laboratories, etc- are awesome and were just recently renovated. The school is in a fairly convenient location (walking distance to downtown Albany). You can get buy without a car- but might not be a bad idea to get a beater for weekend outings and running errands as the Capital Region is not super accessible.

Cons- For what it is, its very expensive. Saint Rose has many great programs, but it is essentially a "teacher factory". Most teachers in New York are going to be paying their loans forever (if they can find a job). Id steer away unless you are a rich kid, or getting one hell of a scholarship deal. The dorm/ housing situation is horrible. Theirs two nice dorm halls (Lima, Alumni Hall) which are decent and right on campus but do not have central air conditioning- then a hodge podge of private houses scattered around- then Brubacher Hall- a late 1800s sanitarium style dump that should be condemned about a half mile away. My advice would be to put up with dorm life your freshman year so you can make friends and form cliques- then rent an apartment together from then on. Its cheaper than staying in a dorm, and you won't have to deal with RAs and rules. The student body is very non-diverse and cliquey. Its probably about 80% white upper middle class kids either local from the capital region or from the Poughkeepsie area. Despite becoming coed in the 70s, its still about a 2/1 female to male ratio if not higher. The campus is nestled right in the middle of downtown Albany, and spread out crossed multiple blocks so lots of random people cut through the campus- creating a security risk.

Overall mixed opinions but Im glad I went.

I used to work here but I can't anymore because of my seizures. I was a great staff member. The professors were so nice, so were the co-workers, and the boss. This is a great college to go, and work at.

I feel like one star would be harsh, but three stars would be too nice. My experience with Saint Rose is that it is, like many colleges in this country: overpriced. That is a common complaint with all colleges, but it's more than that. I think the value of the education you get there doesn't really match what you are/will be (if you are taking loans) paying for. I feel the education at Saint Rose is not preparing the younger generation to enter the workforce or the real world. The school boasts great academics and don't get me wrong, some classes have been very objective based and informative. However, some classes made me feel like I was still in high school/the public education system. As in, 1) They aren't that challenging, 2) They don't teach me skills and knowledge that I'll need in the future and 3) It feels like some of the classes had a larger agenda to them (trying to convince students rather than teach). Besides the academics, the campus is nice. Personally, Albany, NY is not my cup of tea but for someone coming from the NYC area (which there's a lot at SR), it might be nicer to be in a much smaller city. Besides that, I think most adults see college campuses kind of deteriorating in terms of the academics and culture. I don't need to go into details about that. I think many adults and people in the workforce understand what I mean though.

I enjoyed my visit to the College of Saint Rose. Care about students and alumni from foreign countries. National Origin, Race, and Creed is a top priority to the College of Saint Rose. Quinnipiac University hate students, faulty, staff, and alumni from India.

My decision to come to The College of Saint Rose was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I absolutely loved every moment of my past four years here. The small class sizes make it easy to get the "one-on-one" individualized learning from a professor who actually knows you by first name, rather than by a number. Every instructor I've had was PHENOMENAL. Each lecture is interesting, and has always provided me with actual, real-world knowledge that I am already finding myself applying every day within my professional career. Overall, I feel I have received a stellar education at a very reasonable, and affordable, cost. Thank you!

This school is the reason the las vegas golden knights can not be a thing.

Although I never imagined that I would end up going to Saint Rose, like with anything in life, you get what you put into it and I can honestly say that Saint Rose was a very favorable part of my life. The small school gave me a chance to make a name for myself and to make some of my best friends. From the first day I felt welcomed by the clubs that I joined, my work supervisors, and the other resident students that I lived with. Being from out of state it was nice to feel that I was part of the community and with all the on campus activities I never had to worry about being bored. In terms of academics I had a double concentration in the comm department and even with a double concentration I was eligible to graduate early. Instead of cutting my time short I opted for an internship my senior year to gain more experience.

In short: My time at Saint Rose was pretty rad and I would recommend it to anyone looking to get involved, make memories, and do more than just go to class.
