  • It’s a huge campus. With every facility you can possibly need, ranging from a gym to running tracks to a library to a clinic & a food court. No complaints there.
  • Uptown campus is amazing, a lot of places to explore. Includes nature too. A huge number of clubs to be a part of, including an Indian student organisation, running club, photography club, and hiking/trekking club.

  • Facebook Marketplace is the best place to go for finding accommodation. Apps like Zillow are also really good.
  • Some challenges include finding good roommates so make sure you choose wisely.
  • Also finding a decent space with proximity to a bus that goes to the campus.
  • These points are really important to be aware of.

  • Zillow and Trulia are the most trusted websites where you can find trusted accommodations. 
  • Where there are listings and you have scheduled an appointment with the landlord for viewing the house and making a decision. I haven't faced any issues. Finding the right house according to your requirements is tough.

  • Planned on finding off-campus accommodation; searched through Telegram and WhatsApp SUNY Albany student groups, then asked among seniors.
  • This ranges from anywhere between 400 to 800 bucks a month, depending on shared utilities: water, electricity, heat were inclusive. My accommodation was approximately 1.5 miles off-campus, travel taking anything up to 10 to 15 minutes using a bus.
  • The biggest challenge, being an international student, was understanding lease agreements, but early planning and seniors' help got me a good place.
  • Most Indian students stay around Western Avenue or Washington Avenue; these are quite popular for affordability and convenience

  • My university had 2 campuses. One was the uptown and the other was the downtown campus. Uptown campus was located at Collins Circle, and the other was on N Lake Avenue, Albany.
  • Both the campuses had libraries, medical services, and sports facilities.

  • I was living off campus with my Indian classmates. We had met each other through a Facebook group. monthly rent was $350-$400. My place was 15 minutes away from the university.
  • It was easily accessible by buses. My place had 2 bus stops near it.
  • It was within 2 minutes walking distance. I would suggest students find a place with a bus stop nearby. As all apartments are almost the same with all the amenities, including washing machines, dryers, ovens, microwaves, AC, or radiators.

Campus life and infrastructure are really good. Being an international student, I always had something going on in campus that I wanted to stay there for most of the time. Not only events, the research facilities, labs and people around are very friendly. There are few times the facilities were out of order such as free printouts for graduate students then we have to pay for the printouts. Apart from that I haven't found anything concerning. We will be having free food somewhere or the other places in the campus. For spring, the sport events are limited but I used to involve in other activities which used to substitute them.

Finding accommodation was bit hard. Here in Albany, majority of the houses has only 1 bathroom even though the house has 7 bedrooms. This make people to have smaller houses like 3-4 bedroom. I used to pay $375 as my share, my property was unfurnished 4 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. The property costed us $1500 per month. But the prices have gone up since spring 2023. Now, a 4 bedroom and 1 bathroom costs $1900 a month with very basic facilities.

Campus life is eminent with lots of clubs and activities. I don't really have time to attend with my classes and part time work. There are infrastructure events and extracurricular activities about which every student is emailed weekly.

I live off campus. I pay $1100 for rent per month. Students who would like to have roommates can find accommodation from about $500 per month. If utilities are included, it may be a bit more, but still will be less than $1000 per month. Always look for heating included because heating charges during winter can cost a lot.

The reputation was good, and the cost of living was also cheap. I also opted for this college because they offered financial aid and grants. That was what swayed me to choose here the most. I'm from California so I didn't want to move all the way to New York but education was my priority.
