As a sophom*ore at SUNY Oswego, there are several aspects of the university I had experienced from my first day at college :
SUNY Oswego offer more than 130 degrees and I chose Computer Science and Math as my Major. As SUNY Oswego is a teaching school, Professors are really caring about students. That’s a good thing about SUNY Oswego. Here corresponding with the Professors and batch-mates are really a good thing. It help us to learn not only from the Professors but also from the class-mates.
Our Authority always keep engage the students every spot, what make the student the real time experiencer. And it build the Community more strong, build good connection with Professors, students and employee. We have research party every week, where everyone share their thoughts and opinions.
If I really would see any changes in SUNY Oswego, that would be the Grade School for Computer Science, what will bring lot more opportunities for Computer Science Students.

Every year I came back I disliked this college more and more. A lot of the negatives really outweighed the positives. I will say that this schools has some pretty great faculty from what I can say when it comes to the Tech and Art Department they are really supportive people that know their stuff and are willing to always help their students succeed and learn. I've had some pretty good experiences with other faculties in other departments for my Gen ED courses but that is where a lot of the positives stop. This college sucks it is the worse for anyone that isn't from upstate you will be bored and probably depressed from how lack luster oswego and the campus is and stressed out if you're a full time student. It's freezing 100% of the time, the dorms are ancient, 90% of the students are full of themselves and only care about partying, there have been a lot of dangerous and shady students too recently. Overall I hate this place and you will.

The normal involvement of a SUNY Oswego understudy is checked by scholarly thoroughness, dynamic campus life, and differing extracurricular openings. Campus life flourishes with an cluster of understudy organizations, social occasions, and recreational exercises, cultivating a solid sense of community and social network. Numerous understudies effectively take an interest in extracurricular exercises, counting clubs, sports, and volunteer activities, which not as it were enhance their college involvement but moreover develop administration abilities and social obligation. SUNY Oswego helps the community cultivating associations between understudies and the neighborhood community. Backed by different campus assets such as scholarly exhorting and counseling administrations, understudies experience individual development and advancement, sharpening basic considering abilities and developing their understanding of themselves and the world around them.
