Yes it’s boring but I think people really underestimate the financial benefits you get from coming here. Yes experience is good to have but you still need to worry about money and debt afterwards and during.

Great experience and education

I love this school. Saved tons of money and loved all my classes. Would choose here all over again. Just before you pick a teacher use rate my professor cause there are bad teachers like at every school.
Overall 5
I loved my experience here cause it was affordable and my classmates and the school employees were very nice. The in-person classes werent that tough to do so I wasnt stress out crying every night like I was at my previous school. The only thing that I didnt like was that there wasnt that many class options to choose from. Thankful for here.

SUNY Old Westbury is beyond amazing. Whether its the professors, students, staff, or the campus itself, it is just memorizing. Its a nice, clean, and organize campus. The majority of the staff and professors are understanding and very caring and helpful. Wouldnt have chose another college for my bachelors along with my masters!
Overall 4.9
There are great staff members that need to have a light shone on them for how amazing they are with students. Dr Bever is a brilliant and caring leader and a blessing to this school that has lots of good faculty.

The only thing I hate about this campus is the parking situation. Otherwise I love this school. Way better then the other university I went to.
Overall 4.6
This school has been the best college experience after attending 6 others before receiving my bachelors. Life is not what you want its what you make it. This school offers a very diverse academic and social curriculum. Campus life and activities are well planned and organized as including activities for commuter students. #OWPRIDE

There should be an option to put a 0 instead of a 1. This college gets a big fat ZERO for safety.

I highly recommend not coming to this facility. I certainly wouldnt call this a college. This space is not sufficient to explain all of the issues and reasons why you shouldnt come to SUNY Old Westbury.
Overall 1.1
There is nothing good to say about this school. Staff is lazy and makes many errors with students degrees with no care in the world. Not a good social atmosphere and feels more like a prison than a university.
Overall 1.2
The teachers need not have tenure, they take advantage of it and its concerning.
Overall 1.3
They simply do not care about their students to hire better or more staff members. Everything that you do with this school get a copy for your own good. They are not organized when it comes to paperwork at all. Good luck getting a decent professor, the decent one's class goes really fast. Classes are also limited or not offered.
Overall 1.3
This is the Worst school ever. tutoring centers are horrible. There are rarely any class and no students. Students will end up extra because lack of classes. no way to networking with anyone. Because there is no one here. The Internet is terrible connection. Career centers is the worst I ever been. I gave a 2 for reputation because is SUNY.
Overall 1.3
Need more professors, this schools is not for working people nor for matured adults, evening classes are limited, 95% of classes are offered in the morning
Overall 1.4
For starters, I selected this college because my mom told me to just "try it out, you might like it." So I did. Don't go here if you're going to dorm. They do not care about the students who dorm here. Some of the halls in woodlands are horrible, showers are cold and the shower curtains are terrible. If you wanna make friends good luck.

I am not crazy about the school

If you need something affordable and are ok with mediocrity then ok. Also this school is not good for working people. There is literally barley any class options it’s too terrible.
