Elmira College - (Elmira NY)

5 /5 Floyd Bushey: Yes the school is small but a great looking campus( yea-to much purple) but it is charming and I loved living on campus. I could not have asked for better professors who actually wanted to teach. I have worked in higher education for over 20 years and one thing EC has going for it that you make lifelong friends along with getting a decent education. It will not appeal to everyone, but no school does. If you are looking for a good solid education along with having life long relationships than EC can be the school for you

5 /5 Theresa St. John: Wonderful campus! Founded as a college for women in 1855, it is the oldest existing college granting degrees to women that were the equivalent of those given to men. Elmira College became coeducational in all of its programs in 1969. Nice place to wander around, visit the Mark Twain Study, bookshop, fountain. Well-kept grounds. If it had been warmer, I would have grabbed a book and read on a bench by the little pond there for an hour or so. I got to see the room they are working on inside the campus - so many rare books! Impressive collection!

5 /5 Yhon Alexander Salvatierra: Its an amazing college as long as you are an international student coming from a 3rd world country. The education is great depending your program. The food is decent for what you pay but the health care center and the health insurance they make you get are ridiculous expensive. Overall you wont regret coming here and get a great education, which is what it matters at the end!

5 /5 Amy A: As an EC alumna, my experience here was amazing! The professors were friendly, intelligent, encouraged conversations & office hours visits. The grounds & architecture were top tier, the food was okay, but the best cuisine was at the dine-in restaurant that served Pizza-burgers. Mackenzies was nice also & the exquisite 1855 Room. The campus has a grocery store for the times Walmart was too far. The dorms were immaculate, and the buildings & grounds team made sure the surroundings were pristine. Pool halls, billiards, rec rooms, movie nights, karaoke, etc. all helped with on-campus entertainment. The surrounding neighborhoods were beautifully manicured, the mountains were gorgeous during the Fall & Winter periods, the Arnot Mall was the spot to hang out off campus. Lots of restaurants nearby campus: Papa Johns, Pizza Hut, Pudgies, McDonalds, Dominos & of course Wegmans & Weiss stores. Its a great place to live & go to college; very family-oriented. Wish I could go back to these times. Definitely visit Elmira & the Finger Lakes region when youre in Upstate, New York.
