I attended this school for 2 years and have to say, there is a reason I moved back home…read more Freshman dorms are OK, but after that you are screwed, there isn't enough housing so they just converted a bunch of singles into doubles, yeah, not fun. My sophomore year I was in a room with bad heat and no insulation in a place where the snow got so bad they had to shut the college down for a few days! When my roommates boyfriend sent me emails telling me to kill myself, I reported it to my RA who told me to try and suck it up as she was leaving for Study abroad next semester. When I was rush to the hospital with what turned out to be kidney stones, campus safety first told me it was just food poisoning because they had had 3 cases that week. Never mind that the head of the French department spoke French as a THIRD Language and the heads of the theater department had the lowest ratings on Rate my Professor. I am sad that this place is clearly a commuter college, disguised to look like a traditional school.

Also, financial aid was extremely generous. I think of it fondly and still donate to show my gratitude.

I LOVE SLC: the campus, the proximity to NYC, the academics and the study abroad options were ALL to my liking. For me, I wanted to be further away from home (which was Brooklyn, NY) and I wanted to go to college up in New England on a more rural campus. However, SLC was solidly in my top three for sure. I would have made it work out for me.

Went to visit my husband's alma mater for medical school here in May 2019. Was a fun time to see…read morewhere he was educated, and where he lived for all those years as a slave to the medical school system. Campus looks serene, and very green. They kept it nice! Drawback is that this is located far away from the city, so not much to do around here other than study. Not many great eateries either from what I could tell by driving around the neighborhood.

I transferred to ESC from another school. I actually love this school. The school is not your…read moretraditional University, where you have the 16-23 year olds, fraternities, and Cliques. Nope!, This School is mostly for non-traditional, adult students, professionals, and those who needed a second chance in an education. Pros. There are a broad choice of degree choices. Basically you can get a degree in any major, since you are taking the necessary requirements (Through ESC, Cross registration, CLEP, etc.). You can design your degree to however you may want it. There are twelve degree fields. Sciences/Math, Human Services, Social Sciences, Nursing, Labor Studies, and I do not remember the rest. I decided to major in Bio-medical Science, and Social Theory (Dual BS/BA) There is support for those who need it. There are writing labs, and tutors available. There is also online Math and English tutoring available. I use the English tutoring frequently, since a lot of my courses are writing intensive; and we use APA format. There is no physical Library, but since you are part of the SUNY/CUNY System, you are allowed to Waltz into the CUNY/SUNY library of your choice and study, under the condition that you show ID. I have studied at CCNY, and Medgar Evars with my ESC ID- so no problem there. You are assigned a Mentor (Mine is Dr. Woo- The best for anyone in the Sciences/Math field), from the moment you are accepted to ESC. The mentors are like College Counselors, without the petty bullshit, and lies. They actively plan with you, to ensure you are meeting the Requirements for your degree. Drs. Fullard, Castillo, and Hamburg are awesome people. You will come across, and meet other mentors. They will be of good help too. Lets say you want to do an Independent study on a subject your Mentor is not aware of. Your mentor, will introduce you to a Mentor that is familiar with that field, and all three of you will build that momentum that will help you engage that independent study. The only problem is that these mentors have many students, and some are working on huge projects in their respective careers. So, always call in advanced, and try to reach out. If you need help, don't ask- Scream for it. Small classes are a plus. Some classes will have six students, and some will have twelve. The most would be fifteen. The cool thing about most of the classes, is that since its a non-traditional school, there are people that WANT to be there; so there is seldom monkey-business. Computers. There is always a computer available. The Metro Center in Manhattan is chocked full of computers. There is always a printer in each lab. Internet is very fast. CONS If you do not speak to your professor, then he/she will not bother with you. You get what you put in- End of Story. Wi-fi Sucks. I mean, its an understatement. Its extremely difficult to be mobile at the school. You will cross-register at other schools. ESC does not have tons of classes. Mentors are not available all the time, but thats a given. Overall, the School is great! I like it. P.S. Please disregard Burgundy B. and Bruce's rating. They knew exactly what they signed up for (Same with me) and apparently they feel entitled to the red carpet treatment. You will NOT get this at ESC. NO ONE will baby you here. NO ONE will hold your hand, because you are NOT a child. You take what you put in. If you bust your ass and do what you have to do; then you earned your degree. But College ain't easy. ESC is no different.

This has to be the worst college in the world. First, they say you must get approval to publish…read morewith any affiliation, then say they don't have any sponsors. They provide instructions on how to interact with people on the student platform, say you need a sponsor to create groups and such, then don't provide a sponsor. Once classes started, my grades went down when I provided alternative theories. When I became critical of the professor, I was suspended, though not disenrolled. I lost all access to the library, my academic JSTOR account, et cetera. I even lost access to drop classes, but assignments were still being required. They're documented appeal processes don't work. Even before being suspended, I tried to appeal grades and such, per documented procedures, and the more senior staff were unresponsive. And their grading is crazy. It's like you could submit an assignment that ended all conflict, solved poverty, made you a Noble laureate, and they be like, "No, you have to check the box saying that you completed the assignment after turning in the assognment. There is no unfair treatment. You get a C, just like anyone else would." I originally thought it was better than CUNY, because you can actually get enrolled. But it seems like quicker route to a much more disagreeable experience. And the personnel are like super low quality. They go into the meetings with the air of a highly distinguished ivy league dean, then say the craziest things, like completely irrational, nonsensical, bizarrest things, then seemingly become distraught when you're like, "Ummmmmm, alright.". Craziness.

However improving the academics and staff and faculty at the White Plains campus would be excellent. Incorporating a cafeteria that on campus residents and commuters could use would be a great benefit. Finally expanding existing campuses like the White Plains, NY campus can no doubt bring more students in and create more classes and programs.
