I taught at MVCC for about 19 years. One of my students said he was going to transfer to SUNY Syracuse. I did not know there was a SUNY Syracuse. It is rated really well. “The SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry (ESF) has earned a place among the top universities in America for 2015, as ranked by U.S. News & World Report.
ESF is ranked number 30 among the nation’s top public universities in U.S. News’ 2015 edition of Best Colleges, the smallest institution to receive such a distinction. When both public and private universities are included, ESF is listed as number 76 on the Best National Universities list. “
It is the top Forestry, Wood Products Engineering, Paper Science schools in the world. The people who wrote the books on these subjects taught at this institution.
The other advantage was you paid state tuition and took courses at Syracuse University for roughly 20% of the cost of going to SU. There is also a SUNY nursing school @ SU. Same deal there. These schools are both located right on the south side of the Carrier Dome.
SUNY ESF is a small school because they only have about a dozen major programs. I think there were under 2000 students. Including graduate programs.
