Farmingdale State College

It was my first time being there. I came down with my sister to watch my nephew from Colorado play lacrosse. I was amazed about how many teams were playing. It was over 200 teams and they had 23 different fields. Well coordinated. Only one thing. Not enough bathrooms for all the people were attending. Other than that, what a nice place to go to for attorney

This is my first visit to this college's open house with my teenager.
I have passed by this college many times but never gone inside until now.
I'm impressed by the school, the curriculum and the facility.
I would definitely consider this college for my child.

Nice campus. Cops love to ticket the students, though.
They drive around campus checking cars and giving tickets.
Make sure your inspection, insurance, and registration are all up to date. I know if you're paying for that college and trying to pay bills, it's not easy. They don't care and will ticket you.
As far as the college goes, it's a very good college to attend.
I had one son there, and another was supposed to be transferring this year.
Sadly, one son could never reach his professor for his online course, and the other just received in the mail a letter stating his course has been canceled until further notice. He is now having trouble finding space in another course.
The advisors need to be more enthusiastic and actually help the kids when they come to them.

I'm currently dorming and I took off a star bc of consistent problems with heating and warm water. RA's also don't do anything to stop drunken students from being loud in the middle of the night or investigating the hallway stinking of weed occasionally. In terms of advisors, they're ready to help and will let you know all your options for your major. The teaching staff is alright, there are quite a bit of adjuncts(no office hours) so being able to teach yourself is a must. The dining hall is always clean, food is ok and has healthy options available. Bookstore is pricey so renting ebooks or hand-me-downs are best. Only buy something you absolutely need (ex. Lab manuals) Student body is diverse enough that you aren't the only black face in a class of forty. Teaching staff is not very diverse at all. Not much fun going on or anything interesting 99% of the time so self entertaining is the only way to not go insane if you dorm.

I'm from upstate New York, I've come down to fcs for schooling. The dorm rooms are okay, the bathrooms and shower facilities could be updated. Walls could probably use a fresh coat of paint. I know orchard hall is nicer than the other halls. Schooling wise the professors are very nice, willing to give you a little extra help when needed. Classes don't give too much homework. I enjoy it's location being an hour away from the city.

This college is just alright. The police are way too strict with parking tickets and appealing it pointless because you'll have to pay anyway. Some professors are really good and others are useless. I've met with several academic advisors in my major and they've all pointed me in the wrong direction, so frustrating! The tutors in the library aren't helpful at all, they barely know the subjects. Food in the cafeteria is the same every day and not even that good for a high price. Not enough events going on on campus. Not as fun as the last school I was at. Kind of disappointed in the school, I transferred here because I thought it would be a lot better. I find it hard to make friends here, very cliquey. Can't wait to graduate and get away.

The administration are people who aren't very helpful and don't like their own jobs. They will give poor advice and frequently point you in the wrong direction. Many of the professors have an average level of experience and give poorly written assignments and test. The parking is difficult on campus. The campus police are very predatorial about parking and they definitely have a ticket quota. I would not recommend attending.
