Avoid this school like the plague. Not worth the time, money, or network.

I applied to SUNY Purchase twice: once in 1992 as an undergrad (it was the ONLY SUNY campus I applied to) since I wanted to concentrate in Theater & Film. I then re-applied to Purchase again in 1998 as an MFA Candidate for Grad School (Purchase and UMass/Amherst were my two back-up grad school choices) & both times I didn't end up attending. I also applied to CUNY Hunter College down in the city (which was the one CUNY I applied to as an undergrad) and my parents taught at Brooklyn College, so I had literally "grown up" in and around the CUNY/SUNY system and had also attended a public high school in Brooklyn as well, so I was WELL-VERSED in public education and both it's advantages and disadvantages, and I just knew it wasn't a system of education that was going to work for me. I ended up attending Hampshire College up in Amherst, MA as an undergrad which was MUCH MORE to my liking as far as the small liberal arts college environment I was truly looking for, (and as a NYC native) I was looking to completely get out of an urban environment to pursue my Bachelor's in. I will say this: Purchase is an EXCELLENT economical college choice for the performing arts however. The campus is BUTT UGLY architecturally, and it was the sub-standard on campus undergraduate housing that steered me off of Purchase as a viable option in the end. The performing arts facilities at Purchase though, are first-rate, and I felt the education I would have gotten there would have been extremely enriched; especially because of the proximity of the campus to NYC. However, I wanted a completely different college experience than the one that Purchase would have offered me, and I was dead-set on attending college in New England. Purchase is the ONLY SUNY I applied to though, and honestly, if you are a performing arts concentrator it's the BEST SUNY option to study at. I just wish they would provide better on-campus housing for undergraduates. Even back in 1992, it was pretty shitty. I'm seeing that hasn't really improved unfortunately.

As the 1st College grad in an immigrant family (in USA, since mid-1970s), I cherish my memories of school / working towards a Bachelor's Degree in Literature. It wasn't perfect, but glad I attended in a pre-Internet world.

They are continuing to update this facility, about 50 years old, much nicer. Wish more people would use it so it be open more hours.

I really regret attending this college, I graduated in 2016. I was apart of the film program for two years, be prepared to live in a depressing windowless basement. Being a freshman in 2012-2013 I lived in first floor far-side dorm, there was literally so much mold I would wake up with bloody noses daily, and literally MUSHROOMS growing out of the shower stall walls (see photo below). I reported it multiple times, nothing was done. I paid $15,000 for two semesters (Just housing) to live in mold and shower with mushrooms. Oh but after I graduated they "fixed" the far side dorm bc it was deemed a health hazard. D-hall is a health hazard too. The Liberal studies/ liberal arts degree is useless in the real world folks. It puts you into thousands of dollars of debt with little no career options or path. I visited the very empty career center multiple times, all they will tell you is set up LinkedIN and learn how to freelance yourself after school. Thanks for NOTHING but debt purchase college. If you have any disability or have depression. Do NOT go to this school. It will make everything 1,000 times worse. I was forced to go on and take psychotropic medication if I wanted to continue to participate with the swim team. The "medicine" made me feel like a zombie. The head Swim Coach from 2015 disclosed to the entire swim without my permission that I was ill. This changed how other classmates acted towards me. And in general if you have any anxiety/ depression or try to talk about it majority of other students will ghost you. Teachers don't care either If I could give any 18 year old advice it would be do NOT go to SUNY POORCHOICE. It will only give you DEBT and most likely depression.

Long but should be read in entirety: It's difficult for me to give this college such a low rating because I truly appreciate most of the staff and faculty at Purchase and am grateful for the academic and out of the ordinary opportunities I was given. However, I would be doing my fellow disabled people a disservice if I did not share the despicable ways in which I was treated at this institution. My first year I was temporarily kicked out of the dorms because I chose to ask for help when suicidal. The next year I was kicked out of the dorms again and, with the help of a pro bono lawyer, it was brought to our attention that I was specifically kicked out because I'm on the autism spectrum which is illegal (with the lawyer's help I was able to move back in). The dean who knowingly broke the law was never fired and I never received an apology. The 2 times I was kicked out of the dorms I became so depressed I had to be hospitalized (the first time for over a month) because I was a danger to myself. My 3rd year I was kicked out of the dorms AGAIN because I'd been driven to self-harm and was sent to the ER. I was allowed back in at the beginning of my 4th year but was THREATENED with not being allowed back in the dorms if I ever again was taken to the hospital. At the beginning of my 5th year I was moved to freshman housing because Purchase College pretended to be shocked when my new roommate disclosed I'd told him I was in self-harm recovery. My 5th year at Purchase was the year another law was broken (confidential info was shared without my consent) and a major school rule was broken (the head of the disabilities dept. censored me and my fellow autistic students on a group FB page when I rightly voiced my opinion on the horrible treatment we were receiving). I stayed the full 5 years because I felt hopeless about finding a college where I would not be made to feel inhuman for having a mental illness. I did not feel safe at the college because I knew people like me were not wanted there.

My third and last trip here for a high school graduation. Unlike the previous 2 times, there is construction galore and the parking lots are a mess. The walkway to the theater is also crumbling and the girls and women in heels were all lurching around. I'm sure at some point it will be worth it, but I will be long gone. BTW, inside is very nice and maybe at some point I'll get here for a performance of some kind.
