Laura from Little Falls, NY
saint rose has a passionate faculty who care both for the curriculum they teach and the students they teach it to. it's a tiny college in a grand sea but still floats and is something to marvel at. the student body isn't afraid to speak up about injustice on campus.
cydney from albany, ny
I would absolutely give The College of Saint Rose a high rating. It did not take me long at all to know that this is where I wanted to go; in fact, it is the only school I applied to! I could not imagine myself anywhere else right now.
