<p>I loved everything about Alfred, and although we live in a village, my son, who was accepted, felt there wasn’t “enough” of an off campus presence to live there 4 years…so he ended up in a remote college with a town that has maybe double the size shopping district of Alfred. 4 block downtown, 4,000 residents no. 8 block downtown, 5,000 residents yes. Kids, go figure.</p>
