Empire State University at Manhattan - (New York NY)

5 /5 Raquel R: I enjoyed my experience at the school, substantially. I attended numerous schools outside of ESC (at the time) and this one of the best schools I had the pleasure of going to. I attended schools like UB aka University of Buffalo where I saw and experienced bullying and racism and York College where there was an insane amount of rude and unhelpful staff coupled with not so friendly attendees. At BCC where I recently did an e-permit because I am doing a post-bac degree a second time around, and it resembled much of both UB and York. This school on the other-hand was a breath of fresh-air. Although it may not be as academically challenging as I may want, it was a great starting point for someone doing and completing college for the first time. People were helpful and friendly, and most importantly mature. The only issue I recall having was finalizing my degree with Costello (I believe) it was quite the trip, but it worked out at the end. I should give a shout-out to Malongze for being such an amazing mentor through the course of my BA. She is genuinely such an inspiration! Thanks Malongze and another professor (he was a really nice old man) he retired a few years later. You are both the best!

5 /5 Anthony Cataldi: I am a recent graduate of SUNY Empire State University, and I must commend the institution for its exceptional quality. The faculty and staff demonstrate a genuine commitment to the success of their students, providing invaluable support throughout the academic journey. While I encountered some initial challenges with my first two advisors in terms of responsiveness and assistance, the transition to Mrs. Buzick proved to be transformative. Her outstanding guidance and support were instrumental in shaping my academic experience over the course of three years. I am now preparing to pursue a graduate degree in school counseling, a milestone that would not have been possible without the foundation laid by SUNY Empire State University. I wholeheartedly recommend this institution, particularly for individuals with demanding schedules.
