<p>i recently received an acceptance letter from SUNY NEW PALTZ and i think that i will probably be going there because it's got a good location and the price is really good. Does anybody have any feedback on New Paltz? I am going to major in accounting.</p>
<p>I could try and answer any questions you might have…my son is a senior there.</p>
<p>do you think that it is a good school thats quite diverse? i hear that is a very artsy school and im not really into that kind of stuff so im just wondering if i would fit in</p>
<p>The academic reputation has risen a lot in the last few years. Last fall, the average gpa to gain acceptance for incoming freshman was a 92. It has a diverse population. Lots of different types of people from all sorts of backgrounds. I imagine that anyone can fit in. The students tend to be down to earth and friendly. There is a good amount of art students because it is a popular major but I think education might be the most popular major. Close seconds are probably creative writing, english, history, communications and media, psychology, business, music and anthropology. Just judging from the amount of courses offered from those majors. My son’s housemates consist of a business marketing major, 2 psych majors and he’s graphic design. Past roommates have been journalism and physics majors, so a wide variety of interests and types of people.</p>
