A few high achieving students from DD's public HS (New England region) have gone there.
The science facilities are great for a college of their size and they're building additional facilities opening in 2027 (?). It's appealing to DD for the science and engineering programs, but with a liberal arts focus. She also likes the 3 classes per term, though I believe they're in school more/longer than traditional semester-based colleges. I think the town has an Amtrak stop, which is convenient from NYC. It's also in the tri-city region, including Albany, which I would expect is helpful for internships. From what we were told, the schools in their sports conference are all within a 3 hour drive of Schenectady, so theoretically less time out of class for student athletes. She's interested in other schools mentioned in this thread - Rochester, Lehigh, etc. |

| The walk from the college to areas of interest in Schenectady takes about 10 minutes, I believe. |

Yes, that's the plan. |
