“I love how SUNY Plattsburgh's location is right across the lake from Burlington, VT and just outside of Plattsburgh there is nothing… which I absolutely love being from Long Island. I love to just connect with nature even on campus. It’s close to Whiteface to ski, where I have made many close friends through the ski club as well as being able to hike the Adirondack’s which was a new experience for me. It's just a really great community here that you can’t find anywhere else.”
Kyle Stibritz - Undeclared
“SUNY Plattsburgh provided a step for me to propel myself forward and see that there were options for me. On top of this, SUNY Plattsburgh had overwhelming support for me and students like me through Accessibility Opportunity Programs that helped guide me academically, financially, and holistically. With advisors who are not only willing to help but are truly excited to help students, I felt less alone in the sea of struggles a first year student often faces. Overall, SUNY Plattsburgh as an institution truly puts its students first, building community through connection, knowledge, and support, that is why I chose to be a student here.”
Willow McLean - Biomedical Sciences
