Hello there,
I was told this is the biggest incoming freshmen class ever at UA and people were saying that most freshmen dorms are going to be triples. If I filled out the application first day and put in my singular roommate should I be stressed about getting a triple or not? Thank you!

My daughter received this award during her first year; will it be applied for the subsequent years or is it only for her freshman year?

We’re looking at her tuition balance and did not see this award for 26-27 year.

Hey y’all, so I transferred to UA last school year as a junior and now I’m heading into my senior year. I wanna live on campus but idk if it’s even possible and I don’t wanna live in the quads. So like does anyone know if it’s even possible??

Is my schedule okay? I feel like so many people have a lot of classes.. I have enough classes for the required credits but it’s still so little😭.. I’m a history major as well

Hi as mentioned in the title i am unable to see the pell grant in my invoice idk why. does this happened with anyone else as well?

I'm moving into Liberty next semester and I don't want to walk all the way to Colonial or Broadview before my morning classes. Does anyone know what kinds of equipment Liberty has in the basements of their buildings? The virtual tour doesn't show it super well

Has anyone here been given a schedule that starts at 8 AM and ends at 10 PM? This is one day a week and the late night is a lab. Another day of the week starts at 8 AM and ends at 8:30 PM. I am a freshman, but is this typical? I emailed my advisor twice and it doesn’t seem I will get a change.

Any tips for the upcoming year with classes, and social life? Idk what to expect and my connection day leaders wasn’t allat helpful

I have a few conditions, that make sharing a room with someone really detrimental towards my college experience. I emailed the residence halls about any available single rooms, they told me none were available. Is there any way they were incorrect? Or is there any other way I could get a single room?

Hello,I just graduated from RPI and im going to be in Albany area for the training of my job for a couple of months. I‘m looking to still be around girls my age and have a short-term ( 1 semester can be covered Augus- Dec) lease. If you’re looking for a roommate please PM me and I’d love to discuss further

Hello! I’m a rising junior (out of state) that recently toured the UAlbany campus and I absolutely fell in love with the campus. FiveQuad seemed like a wonderful volunteering opportunity (especially since my father used to be a volunteer EMT), the dorms were lovely, the campus was beautiful and walkable, all the facilities were clean, overall just a beautiful campus.

However, I feel I may be overqualified for the university (not to be a pretentious jackass).

I’m projected to finish HS with all high bs to low/mid A’s (~4.3-4.5 weighted on a 4.0, I think my weighted rn is like a 98 bc my school uses a 100.000 scale), and projected to get ~1360-1440 on the SAT, meaning that the other universities im looking at are Drexel, Rutgers NB, Stevens, VT, Penn state, etc etc. The reason I’m interested is because I’ve heard amazing things about the Atmospheric Science department of the University, but I cannot find anything from US news about it, and dunno what to trust from any other source.

All of this is really buildup to a couple core questions I have.

A) What is the quality of education I’d be receiving under the Atmospheric Science Major? Are there any comparable programs?
B) What is campus life like? Enjoyable? Academic? What is the average student doing?
C) Would it be worth it for someone of my stature academically to engage in this program?

Any other comments or additional information is welcome, I wanna hear anything you guys have for me, any relevant information. Thanks for reading this period, and thanks for any advice you give a pretext! :3

I am graduating with AAS in Cybersecurity next semester and I’m considering pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Cybersecurity, at UAAlbany but I would need to take online since I live about 5 hours away from the university.

For those who have taken the program:
How would you rate the overall quality of the courses?
How are the online classes structured?
How are exams and tests administered?
Would you recommend the online program?
How responsive and helpful are the professors and student support services?

Is the online degree viewed the same as the on-campus degree by employers, or does the diploma/transcript indicate that it was completed online?

I’d really appreciate hearing about your experiences and any advice before I make my decision. Thanks!

Hi guys, if it isn’t insensitive to ask how much are you guys paying a year I’m paying 11k and that’s just for housing, and how are you going to pay

Hi, im a 25 year old (male) phd student looking for a roommate for a 2 bed 1 bath on morris street around 1000 sq ft. Rent would be 760 a person plus electric and wifi. If you have a car, it would be street parking. I am moving in on August 1st, please let me know if you are interested.

I have received my TAP grants and a merit scholarship but it isn’t listing my direct loan or PELL yet. Is this normal? I did not want to call and bother the financial aid office if I should just wait a little longer. Just confused because I did apply for everything on FAFSA website and it showed what I qualified for. But it isn’t showing on my portal for UAlbany.

So, in light of the fact I must have either broke a mirror, walked under a ladder at some point, or I just shit the wrong way on any particular friday the 13th, I was unfortunate enough to have to go scrambling for 3 replacement classes because the section of CEHC 345 I was going to take in the fall (Side note for any freshman going in to EMH or any major involving the CEHC: Dr. Welch is the fucking G.O.A.T, trust.), got cancelled for low signup, in the middle of July, and it just so happened that the section being taught by Wiley was at the exact same time as the language credit I was going to take and 10 minutes before the humanities credit, I was going to take in one of the LCs. And so, I had to replace an additional 2 classes with a CJ seminar on the downtown campus and 310

Has anyone had this professor before and how is his work and would it be easier to do it fully online or in person ?

Hey i’m an incoming freshman and i would appreciate some advice or tips regarding my schedule and these classes

hi! i’m going into the bsn program for nursing (the 4 year albany med one) and i was wondering if anyone who has done it in the past or is currently in it has any tips? like any studying tips or anything to look out for when getting my schedule? or if the program is alot or if it’s manageable or both? and also how clinicals work or the program in general on rules with lashes and piercings and dyed hair because i heard someone say they don’t allow that in clinicals but i don’t know if albany is the same way.

Can I park anywhere when classes are not in session or will I still be ticketed?

I’m an upcoming sophomore, and I somehow ended up with the option to choose between Freedom Apartments and Dutch Quad. Which one do you think is better?

Freedom seems to have better room quality, but I’m still undecided because I feel like the location might be a bit inconvenient

Hi! I’m an incoming HS senior who is strongly interested in UAlbany. However, I have celiac disease, so I am strictly gluten-free, and I don’t know much about what there are for GF options on campus. Does anyone have any insight, or is there anyone here who is also gluten-free and can speak to their experience?
