I have been to multiple colleges, all of which, had much less funding to provide for the students than this one, yet they made it work and I learned an incredible amount from some wonderful professors. Heck, I even excelled in all of these colleges. This college however is a sick joke. I absolutely despise this college. It is genuinely one of the only places I've been to that makes me want to kill myself. The atmosphere is so smug in Syracuse you could probably die from overexposure to bigotry. Then you get to the campus of ESF where the hippie flower children with no real thoughts of their own reign supreme. Don't worry it gets better since seemingly 3/4 of the staff (including professors) is either incompetent, lazy, or beyond arrogant. I thought this place was a dream when I read about it, now that I'm here, I just want to graduate and never step foot on this campus ever again. - Sadly still attending as of 4/16/18

As far as academic rigor goes for Environmental Studies focused on Policy, Planning, and Law, I have excellent educational, course-work related experiences. Presently the campus diversity has many problems. When you arrive here if you are a minority, you will find that ESF offers very little support to their minorities. Just a heads up that there is no central minority office for us and you will have to seek out those trusted individuals who understand your problems. Secondly, the elevators in Bray are always breaking down, and the accessibility for differently abled bodies have to take complicated routes. ESA animals are not allowed on campus. There are few campus clubs, but SU offers a ton! I can also contest that Earth week is an excellent time to make plants and tie-dye a shirt. You will find this school over exaggerates a lot of stuff and little will be offered outside of your educational program academic requirements. Very loud library and few seating around the campus.

So I thought this college was the place for me well let me tell you this college has a certain culture. I am not a person that gets down on myself but all I did when I was at that college was cry and I even hated going to class. I love learning also, its not like I hate the learning aspect of college. I transferred in and I left after one semester because it was not the right fit. If you are going for ERE dont, the classes are way harder than they need to be. Also I went to get help with what I was going through and there is not a single person there willing to help you. I messaged the therapist and she responded back sorry I'm busy all week and never responded to when she was able to meet up. So I never got the help I needed. On the upside, it is a small campus so alot of professors are willing to help. And the dorms are nice. Also another perk is it is right next to Syracuse University and you get all the SU stuff for student rates.

This is a fantastic school with so much to offer! People are extremely welcoming in this small feel school and the professors want nothing but the best out of their students. The dorms are beautiful with private bathrooms, the campus is small and accessible and the building are gorgeous. If you care about the environment and truly enjoy getting to know people of different backgrounds and disciplines, come to ESF! Become a stumpie today!

Paper Engineering department is the BEST. Chemical engineering degree ✅ Paid scholarships for a 3.0 ✅ paid internships that they help you find ✅ 100% job placement after graduation ✅ jobs immediately after college all 70k+ ✅ great community of peers and professors ✅ I loved my time here. And now recruit from this school for the company I work at!

Our tour was with Ms. McCarthy. One on one made it possible to ask the important questions. I felt the tour was very informative. After our tour, we were able to walk around and check out the surrounding area. I was very pleased with our time on campus

Look, if you're wanting an education in trees and environmental science, this school is pretty good.

Env aware and friendly campus

ESF is the best college in Syracuse when considering rigor, class size, and cost. Standards of Cornell, small groups, and SUNY prices. Absolutely outstanding!

2023 November 18. Visited 6 pm on tour w SUNY SA Fall Conference....so, dark out. Welcome slide show and then walked to greenhouse. And, walked around campus a bit afterward. What I saw was nice. Students were friendly, knowledgeable and cool.
