Alfred University is an enigma.Quite BrightBusiness - Management and Administration
Alfred University is an enigma. From the looks of the campus and the surrounding area, it's a ghost town, but the heart of Alfred U is deeper than the superficial. Up front, if you love a bustling city atmosphere, run away from Alfred, it's not for you. I am not that type of guy. I grew up in a quiet suburb near New York City and that's exactly what Alfred, NY is. The campus is basically the entire town and it's like a quiet neighborhood. The people are exceptionally friendly and helpful and there isn't a place on campus or in town that you couldn't walk at any hour of the night and feel safe. Because there is so little to do in the surrounding town, Alfred makes sure that there are a thousand things on campus to become immersed in. The radio station, WALF, is one of the best in the country. AUTV, the Alfred TV station is great too. Sports, Intramurals, Art programs, Music programs (I was in a band) are all equally supported and embraced. They get top level musical acts to come to campus and play (Counting Crows, Dispatch, The Roots and the Black Eyed Peas just when I was there) and there are tons of things going on all the time. Alfred rocks, I was so happy there and I would go back in a second for four more years if I could.

This place is cold and dreary and isolated. Almost everyone would transfer if they could.
