Is the State University of New York at Albany (SUNY @ Albany) a good school for business?

Question

I currently go to this school and am planning on majoring in business. But all the kids there seem stupid (compared to the kids I know in my hometown, Boston) and wild and do nothing but drink and party. I hate the city because it's so run down and doesn't feel safe.

I am also a minority and the school is not very racially diverse. A lot of people there are racist and not afraid to show it.

Is this school a good and well known business school? I am thinking about transfering but I'm not sure if this will put me behind on graduating due to different requirements from different schools.

Answer 1

I was looking at the university of Albany for a Biology major, and I really did not like the school when I went to go visit it. It used to be on my top five list, but when I went there I changed my mind. First of all, the students were not nearly as charismatic or interested in the school as students at other schools seemed. They looked like they were being forced to talk about the school in a positive manor. Also, the schools layout and design are just disgusting. It looks like it was built in a "modern" design back in the 1970's but then was never cleaned. There are four dorm buildings located in the four corners of the campus, each one looking like a quarter of the size of the WTC buildings. One of the things that disappointed me was that one of the programs that attracted me to the school was no longer available. It was replaced with this program called the Renaissance program, which means renewal or rebirth indicating that there was a problem that needed to be fixed. The problem was drop out rates. The school is an outlet for inner city students from New York City, and if you don't like the city, you probably will not like this school. My advice is to not take my word from it, but go and visit the campus.
