Accepted Students Questions

Hello everyone I posted similar questions on the UBuffalo thread but I’d like to get UAlbany students, parents, alumni, etc… views

  1. UB vs University at Albany, Which is better for a Business major? (I notice on US News and World Report UB IS 103 and UA 126 Nationally but I’m not sure how that translates to their undergrad business schools)

2)What is the best UA dorms for a freshmen?and will I have a chance of getting into them this late in the game and whats the probability that the best dorms are all booked up at this point?

  1. I didn’t receive a scholarship in the acceptance package and their was no mention of one? Will they send notification of a financial reward at a later time or do I not qualify outright? (3.451 GPA when I applied and 1660 SAT)

  2. Whats Albany like? I’m a city kid and the furthest upstate I’ve been out of NYC is a couple miles past the Tappen Zee. Is Albany a city/ how does it compare to NYC? Is their stuff to do? Is it as cold as its made out to be? Whats transportation like? (buses,subways,etc…) Is it diverse city?

  3. What is UA like in general? How are the freshmen classes? Whats freshmen/undergraduate life like? Is it a party or a quiet school?

I’m sure I have tons of other questions but these are the only ones I can thick of right now. Thanks in advance and Good Luck to the Class of 2019
