“I love watching the process of dirt turning into something like a house. It will be really rewarding to come back to Alfred and know that I poured the porch and built the garage on that house.”

“The professors here are great. Learning how to use your resources, especially with the professors, is such an important tool. The math lab is helpful, and I use it all the time. Office hours with professors are also something I have found beneficial.”

“I am into math and science, so I like problem solving. I like that the labs are hands-on, which give me the chance to fully understand what is being taught. The labs really go with the lectures. You are learning something and then you are learning it again in a way that will be useful outside of college.”

Marina Miketish

“Alfred State is such a hands-on program. You get to follow the process from start to finish, from programming to design, to the finished product. Everything that I learned in class, I use daily to do my job.”

Joshua Czerniak
