Albany Medical College Reviews

"Albany Medical College is a fantastic place to study medicine. There are ample opportunities to get involved in whatever you are interested in, and the doctors and teachers are truly invested in your success. The atmosphere is very supportive among the students and it really shows."

"I am in the Physician Assistant program, though that was not an option for me to choose from the drop down box. Pros: small class size, very supportive staff, classmates are all willing to help each other out, awesome simulation center and cadaver lab! Cons: the crime in Albany makes the area a little unsafe. Descent housing (with an updated kitchen) is hard to find."

"Pros - accessibility of faculty, friendliness of the students, flexible schedule, ease of access to shadowing opportunities, and availability of community service opportunities, free coffee. Cons - non-modern library with little sunlight, could use technology better in histology labs."

"While you might be in a smaller town, there are advantages to that when you are in a competitive and fast-paced program. You have opportunities to visit the outdoors with hiking trails close-by as well as participate in more metropolitan activities if you drive out a bit. The workload and education may be typical of most medical schools."

"I have thoroughly enjoyed my past 3 1/2 years at Albany Medical College. The academics are top shelf and I have met so many incredibly bright and talented people both staff and fellow students. I am fully confident that my educational experience from Albany Medical College will prepare me to be a skilled doctor and I look forward to starting my residency after I graduate to prepare me for my chosen field of medicine. I would highly recommend this medical school to any prospective medical student."

"Excellent value and quality of education. However, the city is small and local networking opportunities are limited."
