so I’ve been accepted to and considering new paltz and geneseo for a major in education and if anybody has some insight on these two programs/schools that they know that would be great! a little bit about me: along with wanting to major in education, I am interested in the visual/performing arts, I like to write and to push myself academically, as well as study abroad if my schedule can manage it.

For education, both are fine options and both will prepare you / look virtually equally impressive on a resume. So it comes down to which school you prefer. Personally, I found Geneseo to have much more of an isolated feel, whereas New Paltz seems a little more happening. Geneseo is known for being more intellectual, whereas NP is known for being more artsy and quirky. Both campuses have friendly students and good reputations in New York.
Have you visited the campuses? It might come down to which has a better personal feel for you.
I know you’ve probably made your decision already, but I was an Ed major at New Paltz many moons ago & I absolutely loved it there. It was a beautiful location and great community. Just took my Jr. son to visit this past summer and was nostalgic for those days!
Hope you are happy wherever you decided to go!
