<p>My D has been accepted to both schools and is trying to make a decision. She is still undecided on a major but is leaning towards communications/film editing. Both schools seem to be up and coming and are increasingly more selective. </p>
<p>Please share your opinions and experience with these schools. If you attend either of these schools, what has been your experience, likes, dislikes? </p>
<p>Thank you in advance for your input!!</p>
<p>don’t go to either school (or my D yet!), I go to Oneonta often for work.
I would suggest contacting professors in the respective school’s departments to discuss opportunities in the major. Also, see if the schools will let you speak to students in the majors.
You are right…both are up and coming schools with great facilities. Have you visited both? Oneonta is a little more isolated, about an hour give or take from Binghamton and Albany (about half way). Not much in the way of shopping/stores, but the downtown has some restaurants and bars. (and shops). Students can’t have cars on campus until usually junior year (in case that is a consideration). New Paltz is a more artsy town.
We have visited both, but my D is a junior. We may be in your same situation next year of having to decide between the two schools!</p>
<p>Have you tried posting same on the SUNY - General page under colleges? You might get good feedback there too.</p>
<p>Just did…thanks for the tip!!!</p>
