Where Success Is A Tradition...

Introduction
SUNY Fredonia is the absolute perfect fit. The campus is not too big and definitely not too small. It's perfect! The campus is gorgeous, it's definitely the most gorgeous campus I've seen throughout my visits. It's been totally redesigned with a Starbucks & the University Commons (HUGE bookstore, Convenience Store, Banking, and the best of all--the Cranston Marche. Best food EVER! And of course it is gorgeous inside. If you are a student that does not like to work && have fun...then this school is definitely not for you. Orientation is a blast, so definitely go! You will meet so many people just at Orientation alone! The environment is great, the people are great, and the dorms are perfect.

Campus Life and Social Life
Partying? Hell yes. Sports? Of course. Clubs? We have an amazingly large variety of clubs...anything from S.T.E.P.S. to Guitar Club to Greek Life. Weekends are the best. There are always a ton of people to have fun with, but a lot of people go home as well. We get great concerts every year. We've had Ben Folds before, and this year we are getting Talib Kweli for FredFest! Fredfest is the most fun experience ever. If you don't attend...well, really no student doesn't attend. We also have really awesome radio stations. We're not too far from the Galleria Mall, and there is a shuttle...which is such a fun weekend outing. Downtown we have BJ's which is extremely fun, and Sunny's...let's just say don't go to Sunny's alone. We also have an awesome athletics center...Steele Hall. Don't worry, there's always Frat Parties & House Parties. What would college be without them? Advertisement
