<p>I am graduating my two year school this year and need to make yet another college decision. I have narrowed it down to Cortland or Oneonta anyone that can help me or give me some input would be great!</p>
<p>It really depends on your program. If you’re considering teaching, I’d definitely go with Cortland. I’ll also add that I go to Ithaca and I’ve made way more great friends at Cortland than I have made here, and all of my friends that go there seem pretty happy with the school. I really can’t say anything about Oneonta, though.</p>
<p>D is a junior at Cortland and is a sport management major. Both Cortland and Oneonta are great for teaching as are most of the SUNY colleges. Cortland has a bit of a jock reputation. It’s particularly known for sport management, phys ed, athletic training- but it also has solid departments throughout the school.<br>
My d was also accepted to Oneonta. To me it’s a more well rounded environment as I don’t think it has a dominant campus culture like Cortland/sports.
BTW, I hear either Cortland or Cornell may have the Jets training camp this summer. It would be a real boost to the Cortland economy, so I’m rooting for them to get it.</p>
<p>Both campuses are very picturesque. I think I liked the oneonta campus a bit more, but for sport management, cortland was the obvious choice. Cortland is also a bit less isolated than oneonta. As it is on a major highway, it is a real quick trip to syracuse, binghamton or ithaca. </p>
<p>what are you planning to major in? That might be a factor in your decision.</p>
<p>and to my delight, my kid is really happy with cortland.</p>
<p>I am majoring in Birth through sixth grade education</p>
<p>I think for education, both schools are comparable. I would suggest you visit both campuses and see what feels best. Suny colleges have always had a very good reputation in the field of education.</p>
