Student Quotes
"I think it is very typical of a college experience. You grow anywhere you go, and in four years, I’ve learned a lot about myself, about belonging, and about my friends. I think Alfred helped me when I needed it to, and now that I’m done, I’m ready to experience somewhere else."
"Alfred has given me everything it could since I was a sophomore. By the end of my second year, I was seriously thinking about transferring, but never did. Entering my senior year, I deeply regret my decision. Despite what people tell you, school name recognition is important, and no one in Rochester even knows about Alfred. Going to school in a bigger city will allow easier networking and internship opportunities."
