Is it required for sophomore students to live on campus? I saw that mentioned on the website. I see there can be exemptions. Have any sophomores lived off campus?

I gotta retake stats again in the spring. I’m so bad at math wondering if there is a way around it. I can’t seem to pass and it’s so frustrating.

Hey guys. I just graduated on Saturday (congrats to everyone else who did!) and now all that’s left is to get my actual diploma and email confirmation. Does anyone know how long it may take or roughly when we should be receiving them?

Does anyone know the difference between

A CHM 342 Introduction to Biochemistry

A CHM 442/443 Comprehensive Biochemistry 1&2

A BIO 365/366 Biological Chemistry 1&2

To my people who are or have lived in empire :)

I’m going to be living in empire D cluster next semester and I wanted to start making my list of essentials that I’ll need. If it helps, I’ll be living with my previous suite-mates and friends. I will most likely not have a meal plan and if I do, it’ll be the cheapest one. But I’ll mostly be cooking.

I’ve been looking at regular dorm list and actual apartment list but wanted to hear from people who actually lived in empire.

Feel free to share anything no matter how big or small, any tips help 🙂‍↕️

Do you think UA will ever offer a Ukrainian language class again? They haven’t since around 2007 and i’m wondering if they’ll have a change of heart lol. Especially since it’s more in the spotlight now maybe people will become more interested?

Im currently at Suny Albany going in their 2nd year and I was planning on eventually transferring to RPI at the end of my 2nd year hoping to getting better financial aid. However Ive been told by many people that its not worth it and im better off staying at UA and prioritizing getting projects and experiences. So now im wondering if I should transfer or not.

Im Electrical and Computer Engineering major at UA btw

Hii 22(F) working at Albany Med. Anyone looking for a roommate preferably a 2bd looking to move this month

hello everyone! i’m a 22 yr old female who is starting grad school this fall at ualbany. I am looking for a lease/move-in date of july or august and my budget is around $650. I am clean, easy-going, and respectful of others’ space. Since I am not from around albany (or new york in general) I would love to be able to be friends with any roommates I might have! Please feel free to reach out!

So starting in the fall (2026), I’m going to be a sophomore. I’m trying to figure out what to do about dating. I’ve asked for advice before on how to meet people on campus and got a mix of good and bad advice lol, but I have a specific question now.

I live about 35 minutes away from school normally, but I live on campus during the semesters. I’m someone who really likes to be around "my people" and overall likes quality time, so when summer/winter breaks hit, I don't want to deal with crazy long distance. Ideally, I’m trying to find someone who lives on campus during the year, but whose actual home is within an hour of the school.

I don’t know if there are actually a ton of people at our school who fit that specific criteria, or if I’m overthinking it.

What do y'all recommend? Should I actively prioritize finding someone who lives within an hour of school year-round so breaks aren't a mess, or does the hometown location not matter as much as I think it does???

College student here, in Albany for a few months, what do people do here for fun and like hang out make friends etc. thanks!

I was looking into the Luna, block 75 and the Hudson. What do u guys think what’s worth it and what isn’t? I don’t really want to spend more than 14k per total year for rent.

is riding bikes common here? if i were to bring my bike as a freshman would there be places outside of the dorms to put it or would i be the freak that randomly decided to bring their bike?????/

I am on academic notice, and I am afraid that my grades fell right below a 2.0 this semester. I got an email pretty much warning me that if I didn’t get a 2.0 this semester I’d be dismissed. My overall is a 2.010 but I don’t think it’ll matter if this specific semester falls behind

Heyall!! 17 y/o upcoming freshman at albany, i was curious about the workload and things to look out for and the experience for some of you guys :3, I’m also looking for friends in general outside of just advice! I’d be more than happy to have conversations with as many as you guys as possible

i’m an incoming freshman this fall at ualbany coming in undecided but planning to major in public health to go the pre-med route & take my pre reqs separately over doing biology/chemistry. any tips or things i should know?
