I applied to SUNY Purchase twice: once in 1992 as an undergrad (it was the ONLY SUNY campus I…read moreapplied to) since I wanted to concentrate in Theater & Film. I then re-applied to Purchase again in 1998 as an MFA Candidate for Grad School (Purchase and UMass/Amherst were my two back-up grad school choices) & both times I didn't end up attending. I also applied to CUNY Hunter College down in the city (which was the one CUNY I applied to as an undergrad) and my parents taught at Brooklyn College, so I had literally "grown up" in and around the CUNY/SUNY system and had also attended a public high school in Brooklyn as well, so I was WELL-VERSED in public education and both it's advantages and disadvantages, and I just knew it wasn't a system of education that was going to work for me. I ended up attending Hampshire College up in Amherst, MA as an undergrad which was MUCH MORE to my liking as far as the small liberal arts college environment I was truly looking for, (and as a NYC native) I was looking to completely get out of an urban environment to pursue my Bachelor's in. I will say this: Purchase is an EXCELLENT economical college choice for the performing arts however. The campus is BUTT UGLY architecturally, and it was the sub-standard on campus undergraduate housing that steered me off of Purchase as a viable option in the end. The performing arts facilities at Purchase though, are first-rate, and I felt the education I would have gotten there would have been extremely enriched; especially because of the proximity of the campus to NYC. However, I wanted a completely different college experience than the one that Purchase would have offered me, and I was dead-set on attending college in New England. Purchase is the ONLY SUNY I applied to though, and honestly, if you are a performing arts concentrator it's the BEST SUNY option to study at. I just wish they would provide better on-campus housing for undergraduates. Even back in 1992, it was pretty shitty. I'm seeing that hasn't really improved unfortunately.

My third and last trip here for a high school graduation. Unlike the previous 2 times, there is…read moreconstruction galore and the parking lots are a mess. The walkway to the theater is also crumbling and the girls and women in heels were all lurching around. I'm sure at some point it will be worth it, but I will be long gone. BTW, inside is very nice and maybe at some point I'll get here for a performance of some kind.

I am not sure about the current school itself but I do know that I use to work here and it was a…read morepleasure to be here. The school at the time was developing and I was a telemarketer here. I would call leads and inquiries from students in High School. The school had a large variety in their curriculum, their staff was educated and the class sizes were small. The only bad thing I can say about this place is that it's quite pricey but I guess for 100% job placement thats great....

If I could give this college a -0 rating, I would…read more I graduated with an Associate's Degree in 2015 with approximately $56,000 in student loan debt. Over the past 11 years, I have paid back more than $20,000, yet my balance today is still over $53,000. According to my loan history, only about $3,000 has gone toward the principal, while the rest has gone toward interest. I'm sharing my experience because I don't want anyone else to find themselves in the same situation. Before enrolling, make sure you fully understand the total cost of your education, how your loans will accrue interest, and what your repayment could actually look like. Don't be naive like I was! New York now has options for students to attend SUNY and CUNY for FREE. Please explore those options before taking on substantial student loan debt. I typically don't write reviews, but this experience has been incredibly frustrating. What makes it even more upsetting is that the school recently reached out to encourage me to return to pursue a bachelor's degree. Based on my experience, I strongly encourage prospective students to do their research, understand the true cost, and consider all of their options before enrolling.
