Hello!
I just wanted to share my experience as a Great Dane so that others can get a better idea of UAlbany.
First off, I LOVE UA! It’s funny because I applied to UAlbany as my safety school and had no real intention of going, but at the last minute, I chose to go and I am soooo happy that I did. The biggest reason as to why I was not a fan at first is because I am from Albany, so the thought of staying home and going to college was not appealing at all.
I majored in accounting for undergrad and I am returning this upcoming semester for my graduate degree in professional accountancy. The opportunities that have arose from having gone to UA are amazing! Last summer, I interned with KeyBank, which turned out to be a great experience. Currently, I am interning with a software company called Autotask; I am working in their finance department. I was invited to attend an informational-type of event with a local accounting firm called The Bonadio Group, which is awesome because now when I see them at this year’s career fair, they will recognize me I have also been in contact with a couple of recruiters from KPMG.
I am so grateful for this University. I can really only comment on the business school for obvious reasons, so if you have any questions, please ask! If you are considering going to UAlbany (especially for a business related field), DO IT!
