SUNY Morrisville Reviews

"I honestly wish I had never gone to Morrisville. The Equine program was poorly run, understaffed, and enrolled too many students at once. Instructors made me feel unsupported and alone, and the program's class was full of cliques. The dynamics that were created in the barn, and between classes, separated students into a hierarchy and pitted them against each other whether they were in the same year or not. This could have been avoided if instructors managed and supervised the groups properly, but we were left to our own devices for the most part and it quickly became toxic. The professors in the Equine program didn't seem to care about your other class schedules and would overload you with work up to the last minute. Students who didn't have access to their own transportation would not be considered most times and were left scrambling to catch the bus to get back and forth between the barns and campus. There were not enough professors for the amount of students there were, which made it hard to receive any kind of help from them. Not only that but one particular equine professor had made what I felt were harmful and unprofessional comments about "what looks good on a horse" in regards to a rider's body type. I could go on about everything else but it would take too long. Overall, the quality of education left much to be desired and I left feeling more broken and stressed than anything."

"I was originally very excited to attend this school. However, living in the dorms was an interesting experience. There's a mix between kids from the city and kids from upstate which can be problematic at times. I did have an amazing Sociology professor here who made his class very interesting and entertaining. My General Education professor was down right awful and racist to several of her students and the way the college reacted to this situation is one of the reasons why I didn't come back after my first semester was complete. The school has excellent agricultural and technology programs but everything else just isn't the best possible education you could receive for the price."

"Morrisville State College has an amazing Bachelor of Business Administration, BBA. degree. The teacher's truly care about your progress and teach you everything you need to know about Business. After you achieve your degree they will even help with job placement. The opportunities are endless. I graduated 6 years ago and one of my professors keeps in touch and still advises me on my career path. Five Stars Across the Board!"

"The psychology degree program at morrisville state college is one of a kind. The professors have had their own experiences working in the field and use that in the classroom to further deliver their message. The professors also show they care as their offices are always open after hours to students. The staff really makes the college experience great because you can tell that they care about your success"

"Morrisville offers a very nice selection of classes and teachers. The only negative side was that I felt unprepared and alone in the process of which classes I should take. I intended to take the classes needed to prepare for my bachelors degree, and then go onto medical school after that. I was disappointed to find that I was essentially guiding myself through the process alone. But thankfully there is a lot of information on the internet to tell what kinds of classes are recommended. But the teachers were great. The class sizes were small and the school in general is accepting and helpful. The financhial aide office is also very helpful with assisting with students who are financially in need."

"Morrisville is a small enough campus to get small classes and individualized attention when you need it. Every professor I had there was very passionate about what they were doing. Each one was willing to take the time to speak to me during office hours, or even right after class when I needed it. The school itself is easy to navigate, and the offices (bursar, financial aid, or whomever) were always very helpful. My advisor and the school of study office was great, and it kind of took me by surprise that they knew me by name after only one semester. The library runs our of seating sometimes, but this didn't happen often, but enough to mention it. As a resident of NY state, tuition is very affordable. I do have to say, as a non-traditional student who is about 6 years older than a traditional student, I found a number of students at Morrisville who were not at all serious about their education. Gossip and blabber is often an issue in many quiet study areas, and some students have absolutely no regard for those who are studying, despite the signs posted everywhere designating "quiet study area". This happened to me probably 4 out of 6 times I sat down to study in the library, which was very frustrating. If you can get past that, then Morrisville is a good place for you."
