Purchase College, State University of New York reviews
12Very beautiful campus, great presentation, and a great amount of value if you come here. Just not for me
College of tyranny. Brought back the face diaper. Don’t worry the poison jabs and covid lies are coming to light.
Great school, Beautiful campus.
Additional treat: The Neuberger Museum of Art right on Campus!
We just did a great walk all around the school. It took us 55 minutes. Not sure how long it is (mileage)
@ Reina Oya, that was EXACTLY what Purchase was like back when I visited in the early 90's and decided to apply to school there. I'm from NYC, so it was AWESOME to find a SUNY school that was artistic and full of creative freaks like me. Although I ended up going elsewhere (I really wanted a smaller liberal arts college experience), I REALLY did like Purchase, and could easily have gone to school there.
Thank you for reminding me what it was that I loved about Purchase. It was literally the only SUNY school I considered and applied to. Stony Brook & Binghampton were the only other SUNY campuses I looked at, and I didn't end up applying to either of them (too LARGE and too impersonal).
SUNY Purchase was different, and I LOVED that about it. DEFINITELY the SUNY for creative and liberal students. It has exceptional programs, and is in a pretty location. The campus itself is completely hideous architecturally though. The other large state university I applied to was UVM in Burlington, Vermont which also had a much lovelier campus than Purchase did, but it couldn't TOUCH Purchase when it came to the arts programs. I also re-applied to Purchase again as a graduate student for my MFA, but ended up in Connecticut for grad school instead. Purchase was the only SUNY I applied to both as an undergrad and a graduate student.
College seems fine for my student. Move out day on same day as graduation? Logistical nightmare. Drove around campus for 30 minutes never to get to his dorm. Made it happen but that was not good planning
Jordan Shue was the worst excuse for a advisor that i have ever seen. She is totally useless. Absolutely no help.
My daughter's 3rd year here. The campus is literally a circle (starbucks is in the center). Easy to navigate. UPD is always visable. Very family friendly campus.
My daughter is a senior at Purchase College. It is an excellent school. The faculty and staff are top notch.
The arts gem of the State University of New York system! Fantastic facilities and faculty, and so many students go on to become acclaimed artists, musicians, dancers, actors, and more!
I really regret attending this college. I was apart of the film program for two years, be prepared to live in a depressing windowless basement. Being a freshman in 2012-2013 I lived in first floor far-side dorm, there was literally so much mold I would wake up with bloody noses daily, and literally MUSHROOMS growing out of the shower stall walls (see photo below). I reported it multiple times, nothing was done. I paid $15,000 for two semesters (Just housing) to live in mold and shower with mushrooms. Oh but after I graduated they “fixed” the far side dorm bc it was deemed a health hazard. D-hall is a health hazard too. The Liberal studies/ liberal arts degree is useless in the real world folks. It puts you into thousands of dollars of debt with little no career options or path. I visited the very empty career center multiple times, all they will tell you is set up LinkedIN and learn how to freelance yourself after school. Thanks for NOTHING but debt purchase college.
If you have any disability or have depression. Do NOT go to this school. It will make everything 1,000 times worse. I was forced to go on and take psychotropic medication if I wanted to continue to participate with the swim team. The “medicine” made me feel like a zombie. The head Swim Coach from 2015 disclosed to the entire swim without my permission that I was ill. This changed how other classmates acted towards me. And in general if you have any anxiety/ depression or try to talk about it majority of other students will ghost you. Teachers don’t care either
If I could give any 18 year old advice it would be do NOT go to SUNY POORCHOICE. It will only give you DEBT and most likely depression.
