Living in Alfred is unique. Yes, it’s away from the city yet Alfred is full of life. You’ll be energized by all the opportunities to enjoy the outdoors with nearby lakes, wetlands, farms, and state parks. We call it the “Western New York Wilds” offering adventure and recreation while also peace and quiet to focus and live with purpose.

The thing I enjoy most about Alfred State is how at home I feel. The community is safe, small, and close-knit. I like recognizing people around me and bumping into friends on the way to class.Riley Mucher, Nursing
