The community is great here. They are always welcoming and helpful. All the students just want to help each other, whether it's classes or mental health. I've lived in Troy all my life and this atmosphere has always been here.
WHAT I didn’t LIKE
Occasionally there are some teachers who "do not make sense" but if you put in the time and work, you can pass those classes. The theater departments are spread out, so often you'll have to go across campus for parts of your class.
If you form a relationship with the faculty, they will go out of their way to help you succeed. The communication and journalism department is one of the best in the state and can give you great connections after you graduate.
WHAT I didn’t LIKE
The location is less than desirable, especially for students without cars. It is also a small school. These two factors combined mean gossip runs rampant because frankly there isn't much else to do. I also would not recommend the music program to students who do not want to be in the marching band, because that is its main focus.
While we do our best to show up-to-date information, due to COVID-19 and other factors out of our control, it is possible that the data we are showing about test requirements, application deadlines, and more, are inaccurate. Please verify with the college itself via their website to ensure you are aware of all requirements and deadlines.
