SUNY Empire State College
State University of New York
Main gates of SUNY Empire State College.
An ESC Office in Manhattan!
ESC fits with the small town mentality of Saratoga.
Location
(A 3 hour drive away or a 55 minute flight away from Manhattan!)
So close to Manhattan that they even have a building located in Manhattan!
Size
Even though it does have a fairly large population, the campus itself is relatively small.
(It is New York, so expect things to be quite squished together!)
ESC is for everyone
The environment is also a snug fit in the modern world, with the college being located in an urban town close to big-name cities.
Another quality to help it ease into the modernized society, ESC actually has a large majority of their classes online, to help students who cannot make it to the campus.
The best 4-year Public School in New York!
Campus Life
ESC offers no clubs, organizations, or athletics, there is only academics.
Because of the lack of housing, there is no need for a meal plan.
There is, however, a library on campus, as well as academic/career counseling. Even though you will not be living on-campus, it will sure seem like it!
