Student Testimonials

USAThe college allows for lots of hands on learning and opportunities with their vast internships and study-abroad options

USAFrom my impression, the Motorsports program at Alfred State gives you 1,800 hours of actual hands-on work with fabrication, chassis setup, and race vehicle systems, which is legit training if you're serious about working in the industry, but you need to know that the entire town of Alfred has about one traffic light and a 20-minute drive to any grocery store. However I don't mind a more rural area as it wouldn't be a main focus and maybe would be a nice

USAOverall, Alfred State stands out as a hands on, career-focused college with a real emphasis on practical skills and applied learning. Many students appreciate the close-knit community and smaller class sizes, which often make it easier to get to know professors and ask questions directly rather than feeling lost in a big lecture hall. This kind of environment can be particularly helpful in technical and trade programs where individualized instruction matters. Professors are generally described as knowledgeable and invested in student success, especially in majors like engineering technologies, automotive trades, and architecture.

USAi love it i fell in love with it and I'm so excited to be able to go there and the people are nice they have amazing programs and they have an amazing community.

USAI think Alfred State is a great option for Someone who is looking for a hands on school with very skilled professors. I am looking at criminal justice and I know that all of the professors have been either police officers, lawyers etc... It is also on the cheaper side for college and it is cost effective for even someone that lives out of the state of New York.
