I’ve got like 4 parking tickets and i just have been throwing them in the trash, it says on the back of them they may hold my academic records and send my debt to a collections agency, but UCF didn’t ask for my ualbany transcript and if some indians start calling about the debt i’ll ignore them too. Is my plan bulletproof? i never applied for the parking pass or anything like that so all they have is my plate. I did some research and “UAlbany can report you to the DMV as a "scofflaw." This will prevent you from renewing your car's registration.” but idk if that means register with the school or state? some help would be nice for anyone who went thru this ticket maxxing phase

The admin of UA have been getting feedback and complaints for years. The new company responsible for food is objectively no better and some believe the food to be worse. All concerns have been pushed aside or ignored - all while forcing students to buy into the meal plans. Why not start on online protest? Have students post pics of the food? Have students explain what the issues are and how their concerns are ignored? iThen drop a line to media outlets. Bad publicity is a nightmare for administrators.

So I got into the MBA program. I have an on campus job and a scholarship, after which I have a roughly $3000 difference. I’m unsure who to contact regarding some more scholarship, can anyone help? Also, the union for GA/TA got the pay to increase to $18,000 per year but no department is paying that. Are there still any GA positions available, who do I contact regarding that? I applied to the MBA program in January, and got in by mid Feb, when can I expect to receive word if I got a TA position or not?

I went to the open house yesterday and being from the Bronx, it was like a serious culture shift. Not only is it extremely cold, there’s way more white people than I thought, seeing as how the class of 2030 page on instagram is mostly black ppl😭. This isn’t a bad thing to me, but I just want to know if any students there have dealt with a lot of racism, either from teachers or other students. Obviously New York is like the most left state ever, but I’m still scared it’s gonna be maga central lmfao. I’m basically already committed, but I just wanna be prepared. Also looking for a roommate and new friends! Im a psych major, I like roblox, anime, and obviously I care a lot about politics! Hmu!

Heyyy I'm going to be a freshman in college at UAlbany this fall. Looking for friends, also single af lol. Message me if you wanna talk! :)

So has anyone on the EOP waitlist received anythingor is there a change in the waitlist

I really liked the event overall a lot of info especially for us Eop. The campus looked great even with the bad weather.

Something silly that surprised me was that the pepperoni pizza was actually pretty good at least in the state squad dining hall the fountain drink was actually really good too.

Hi everyone! I’m looking into schools in the Upstate area for Fall '26 and UAlbany is high on my list. I wanted to ask some questions to current students or alumni about what the experience is actually like.

​A bit about my situation:

• ​Age/Gap: I’m 21 (Class of '22). I took a gap after high school to work full-time and haven't lived with my parents since I was 18. I’m finally ready to head back for my degree!

• ​Major: Planning to major in Business possibly more specifically in entrepreneurship or marketing.

• ​Commuter: I’ll be commuting, so I won’t be living on campus.

​A few things I’m curious about:

• ​Academics: How are the business classes? Are the professors accessible, or is it mostly large lecture halls?

• ​Diversity: How diverse is the student body, specifically in the business school? How is the diversity overall on campus?

• ​Social Life as an "Older" Student: Since I’m 21 and have lived on my own for a few years, I’m worried about feeling "out of place" with 18-year-olds. Is it easy to find a crowd that is a bit more mature?

• ​Commuter Experience: Is there a good "commuter culture"? Are there places to hang out between classes where it’s easy to meet people?

• ​Friendships: Is it easy to make friends if you don’t already have a group? Any specific clubs or spots you’d recommend?

​Thanks in advance for any insight! Looking forward to hopefully joining the community. I am new to posting on Reddit so if this isn't the best way to ask please excuse me. I may post this same questions in different schools subreddits so if you see it 2x that's why :')
