I've been going to this school for four years now . So please hear me when I say this school is…read moreextremely disorganized. During my first year it seemed as if they were more concerned about parties and drugs than academics. Later on in my second year I came to confirm that statement. Every year there is over 20 students that die on campus and there are various breaches of security that students are left unsafe in their own dorms. I knew a couple of students on east campus whose front doors to their dorms were broken and they waited months before their service ticket was answered and fulfilled to fix the door and in between that time homeless men were coming inside of their dorm at night and sleeping on their couches....you read it right . HOMELESS PEOPLE! They were scared to even stay in their own PAID dorms . I left campus that year and went online because so many students were experiencing rape, substance abuse, alcohol problems, and just feeling generally unsafe. Not to mention we are paying hundreds of thousands of dollars for this experience. My professors barely came to class. The bus runs 30-60 minutes late every single day, sometimes it doesn't even make it but we still have to go to class without a notice . Basically , if you're considering this school for your child or yourself , keep all this in mind.....Think twice before you attend the "Unsinkable Albany State University" GO RAMS !

Good vibes abound. This is services done by students and they are eager to please. Super friendly…read moreand caring. There is a large host of services within these walls! They do full medi pedi's they wash cut color perm and style your hair, they do facials, waxing and so much more. WOW, and they do great work. Everything is over seen by their instructor on sight and you really get your money's worth and so much more. I had a full pedi cure for $20. And had my legs waxed for $15. With these prices I can pamper myself all the time! WOW, give them a try you will love it also!

I was greeted by my technician & I picked out my polish then she took me to her station! Fist of all, I was impressed by the chair, I've been in a lot of chairs in my 75 years of life to get a pedicure but this one was very special, it had every type of massage one can think of plus a combination of all of the choices, on which I chose the combo! It lasted a long time & I felt very relaxed! The pedicure was excellent also, it has been a while (a little over a year) so my feet were in pretty bad condition, but she took her time & worked a miracle! The price was excellent, I had a Groupon, so it was great! I really want to thank everyone at Albany Beauty Academy! Thank you

I've been coming here for about a year now and honestly, it is a lot easier than I expected…read more Because I work, I take most of my classes online with maybe only one or two class (usually a hard class) on campus each semester. The instructors here are good for the most part when it comes to teaching. The courses are not all that challenging. It's not hard to get a B or even an A if you just simply pay attention and take good notes. Be careful not to miss too many days though because many of them will drop you from the class. However, they will excuse you if you simply email them at least a day or two in advance. The campus itself is nice and easy to get around. It's not too big but not small either; just right in other words. Plenty of benches and chairs throughout to sit down and chill. The library, although a tad bit small, is resourceful. The cafeteria has some good food on most days but a lot of the students use it to lounge around and play card games and such. Plenty of student parking but it can be packed at the beginning of the semester but usually dwindles a bit after about the first three or four weeks. Make sure you have a valid Student Parking permit because they do issue out tickets. I've seen it happen. Books prices, like most colleges, are pretty high. I suggest renting a book or buying a used one from someone else if at all possible. The bookstore is decent and usually all of their supplies are in stock. I have approximately one year left before I get this Associate's and move on to a four year school. If you do decide to enroll, try to learn as much as you can and make it one of the best experiences that you can. Most of the teachers actually care about their students' success and will do everything they can to help you.

They offered to provide housing, but my younger sister had already invited us to stay with them. They also gave each of us a Red Cross backpack with hygiene supplies like a comb, razor, toothbrush and toothpaste, etc. You have no idea ‍ the value of that backpack until you have NOTHING, and it's so precious to you. The Red Cross provides a service that is priceless. I can't say enough good things about them!!!
