“When I came and met the professors, I just knew this is where I wanted to be. They really care about what they’re teaching, and it’s not something you always find with professors. They’re passionate about the subject, and they care about you as an individual.”

“I thought I made the right decision at first. I was at a different college, and I just was not happy. I did not feel like I fit in, and I had friends that went to Alfred State and whenever I was on this campus I just felt like I belonged. There was always something to do.”
