I absolutely LOVE Fredonia!

So glad I transferred to Fredonia! Great Education major department, they are always there to help! Plenty to do on campus and off, beautiful area, and just over all an amazing college to go to! I miss it so much!

When I first was looking at Fredonia I was scared because it seemed to be in the middle of nowhere however once you're here you're in your own bubble and you start to realize after going out a few nights that its way better than being near a big city with crime, traffic, and no way to get home.

I love Fredonia, it has such a fun-loving atmosphere. I have made so many amazing friends here who are all very supportive of each other because Fredonia is a very accepting university of everyone. There are countless opportunities to get involved on campus and I highly recommend taking advantage of these opportunities because they are amazing!!!!!

I'm a senior here and I still love this campus. The people are all great and polite, and even though my education program is extremely difficult, I can't imagine having gone through a better program anywhere else. The campus is beautiful, and there are so many amazing clubs and opportunities to succeed and grow. Food options could be improved.

This school sucks. Half the teachers are bums
Overall 1.2
Food is awful and repetitive, always have an upset stomach. The location is boring and isolated. Clubs and social life are nonexistent unless you're a music/arts, or education major. They are more accepting of LGBT+ people than they are of difference races- safety can be an issue. Pretty depressing atmosphere, common areas/dorms are prison style.
Overall 1.3
Almost every teacher I had stunk and the few that are good are getting out of there. Good luck getting help. The school is using its past reputation but does nothing that it used to in the past 10 years. The food is not even safe to eat. Expect to be ganged up on if you do not agree with the majority. Campus is not safe incidents are covered up.
Overall 1.4
Theres been 3 stabbings the past 2 years. Everything on campus is getting closed down. The only thing to really do around town is visit the 5 bars. Academic wise its a bit of just copy and paste from the internet if you’re anything but a music or education major. Avoid this place.
Overall 1.4
The harp program is not recommended. Taught by an instructor that is clearly only know how to teach from beginner up to intermediate students. Teaches without understanding of teaching psychology as well as development of various stages of students. Very Controlling. A suffocating learning experience with little room for intellectual growth.
Overall 1.6
For safety the school only does something after something has already happened and even then it takes way to long for there to be a meaningful change. The food is grease filled and rarely looks appetizing, they also plan to close more than half the dinning halls so everyone is going to have to be ordering doordash all the time.

The location sucks here because it is far away from everything. The weather here is terrible ,as well as the food here. It is hard to find any worth while clubs here and I wish I transferred a long time agao

I didn't like it here. As an outgoing transfer student, I found it difficult to make friends and connect with anyone. I've never had that problem elsewhere or at my previous school. It was weird. Professors were okay but not life changing. Food was acceptable. Fredonia seemed like it would be perfect but I feel like I wasted my college experience.

I wish I could go back in time and choose somewhere else to begin my undergrad. Can't wait to transfer out.
