What Students Are Saying
SUNY Poly is a smaller, tightly knit school and on your way to class you'll see a lot of the same faces. The campus is beautiful, and the social cliques on campus are extremely friendly. Most Teachers are good at their job and will even meet you outside office hours, but some are not as good at their jobs, but they're easy to avoid.
Nicolae from Maspeth, NY
SUNYIT is a small 4 year school, with all the benefits of a large school. you can get 1 on 1 help. You can live on campus or off campus and still be close. New lacrosse program on a brand new turf field! Yeah!
Adam from Binghamton, NY
The school to me is absolutely amazing, the students there are very friendly and if you don't drive you can always pool with someone. The dorms are also amazing, it is like being in a hotel only sharing a room with your roommate and that too can be interesting. The food in the Student Center is amazing, It will have you wanting more.
