Geneseo is New York state's best state school if you want to be a teacher. It
is for this reason that I reccomended my brothers to attend there, despite the
fact I have significant reservations about the school. If you want to be a
teacher, go to Geneseo, because it's respected in that field, and it saves a lot
of money over attending a private University.
If you want to do anything else, and do not plan to live in the area following
your graduation, do NOT go here. If you want to work in business and decide to
attend a SUNY school, go to Binghamton. If they have your program, try the SUNY
centers at Cornell. Geneseo lacks connections with major corporations, which
means it's very hard to get an internship, and ultimately very hard to get a job.
The alumni network is limited, and I have contacted about 10 of them through the
Career Center's sponsored program, only to receive O replies. The Career Center
can help you with your resume if you are clueless, tell you websites to visit and
show you the limited listing of available internships, but that's where it stops.
Also, outside of upstate New York, very few people have ever heard of Geneseo.
The best I've heard from an employer outside the state is "I've heard New York
state schools are very good." For that I could have attended SUNY Plattsburg,
done half the work and had the same GPA!!!
If you want to go to Med School, don't go here. There is NO support, and the
med school committee usually writes reccomendation letters behind schedule, which
is damaging to your candidacy at most schools that use rolling admissions.
If you want to go for the true liberal arts experience....Perhaps it's better at
Geneseo than other state schools, I wouldn't know. Keep in mind that because the
school is small, they are never able to offer all the classes in the course
catalog, and when the classes they do offer, they can only offer one section.
There will be many classes you never have the opportunity to take because they
are offered at the same exact time.
