They charge $50,000+ per year, which means you will be $200,000 in debt when you get out of this school. Imagine that. Nearly a quarter of a million dollars just to go to a college. Even if you get loans, you will pay off even more in the end. They charge “WHAT THE MARKET WILL BEAR” which means “WHAT I CAN GET AWAY WITH.” This school is worth MAYBE $5,000 a year.
There is no job preparation or networking to speak of. Their career office is a joke and it’s in a basement. The “advisors” don’t care about you and don’t offer any career advice and try to get out of meeting with you whenever they can.
You have to make your own education and if you’re going to do that, why not just go to a state school which has a bigger, better library, like UMass Amherst or a CUNY school?
If you have literary ambitions, there were TWO good professors that I had in the 4 years there and both of them are no longer teaching there. The famous professors they tell you about, like Chinua Achebe or John Ashbery, are completely walled off in their ivory towers. You have to KNOW someone to get into their classes.
If you’re a person of color, prepare to be treated like a freak. There is no diversity. There are one or two students from out of the country and a few African American students but overall it’s as white as can be. Don’t believe the beautifully produced brochures.
The area around the campus is called Red Hook and there’s nothing to do there. You are 3 hours out of NYC on a train. No nightlife.
Wish I had never gone to this school.
Burn their brochures. Pick a state school in your state. Be responsible for your own education, and you might have enough money left to get another degree!
