The school is in desperate need of students so they do unethical things with fudging grades and hours of work experience required by New York State . This is not a college it's a joke . The New York State teacher certification office NYSUT should really look into this and shut them down. Disgusting that they don't care about really training a student with the correct tools needed .

These young people don't wait and turn while people are traveling Eastbound at 50 mph or faster. We almost had a major collection at that exact place. You are going to have grieving students and moms and dads if you don't get it together NOW. People are going to die there. PUT AN ARROW ONLY TURN THERE. STOP BEING LAZY AND SAVE A LIFE. DEATHS IN FAMILIES, I can tell you from experience that a family will break down when a loved one is taken away from us. THESE REASONS ARE SO EASY TO REPAIR. JUST DO IT AND SAVE SOME LIVES. I WILL PAY FOR IT!

College is good for commuting, I would not dorm here though. There is not much life after school is…read moreover on the campus. The buildings are being slowly renovated and updated. The campus is very large and there are alot of oped fields. I liked to jog on the campus before my classes. Its also very easy to get to being right of route 107 and the service road. The campus police are very helpful as well. My car broke down several times while I dormed there and I was able to use their booster back to jump my car. The old time officer Sam on campus was always very friendly and always helpful. He pulled me over a couple times and he let me go with a warning, even though I probably deserved the ticket. He was very knowledgeable about the history of the campus. All in all the experience was good. I ended up transferring up to Buffalo state to finish my degree. I did prefer Buffalo to Old Westbury. It was a better experience IMO.

I've been going to SUNY OW since 2020 & I have never had a good experience here. I took a break…read moreafter COVID & came back in 2022 & nothing was improved. Most of the professors here aren't qualified to teach & are extremely unhelpful & sometimes rude. The Bursar & Fin. Aid office are the worst b/c nobody wants to do their job & they will have you running in circles trying to find answers for anything, I have had so many issues w/ both departments & had to harass them just to get solutions. The dorms are dirty & are never redone & maintenance never comes to fix anything. If I could write a book about how bad this school is I would. Please save yourself the trouble & enroll anywhere else!

Enrolled with Empire State College and Paid in Full for a course…read more The so called "Learning Contract" that was sent to me, was written with multiple flaws. I advised that the document would be corrected and returned for approval before I would "SIGN" the contract. The next correspondence received was notification that the time restraints had expired and the course requirements had not been completed. Several attempts to correct the situation fell on deaf ears. Even an attempt to file a complaint through small claims court was to no avail. The Lawyer that represented EMPIRE STATE College advised the court that since ESC was a STATE Institution, the court had no jurisdiction. CASE DISMISSED! Nothing like paying for Bad / Corrupt Government. Luckily CW Post had a similar course. Don't waste you time or money with Empire State College. Just like the State's Politicians, The College's arrogance is astonishing. This is only one of many reasons New York is truly in a Death Spiral.

I wish i had a pool when i was a student. Tilles Center is still one of the premier concert and performing arts venues on Long Island and has seen big name acts perform there. The students historically tend to be upper middle class and they have a history of being quite stuffy, but all in all, i had no issues making friends here and enjoying my time. enough as it is, to continue to show up during Football season and walk around.
