I was accepted to SUNY Albany and I’m definitely considering going there. Is the campus safe tho? I’ve heard bad things about the area and that the campus isn’t safe. Please let me know about your experiences/ your son/daughter.
lollll. sorry, i had to laugh. i go to ualbany and i have lived in the city of albany my whole life. you have absolutely nothing to worry about.
I live in Albany, and my husband works at UAlbany. The campuses themselves are very safe. There is some theft, especially of computers, but that happens everywhere. (I am a librarian. Laptops are stolen in college libraries daily. Please, please tell your kids to lock up their laptops even if they are just going to the bathroom!) Some of the private, off-campus housing near the downtown campus is a little dicey, but only late at night. Students are victims of crime in that neighborhood much more than anyone else is, and, honestly, it is usually when they are drunk and very easy targets. Tell your kids that if they must drink, travel in groups, and not to have earbuds on or be on their phone when they are walking alone at night.
