I love this campus! The professors are always so nice and willing to help you out. I love the experience I get while attending UC and I would not change my decision to attend UC. The only downfall to this campus is the parking. I feel like there is not enough parking for residential students.

The professors have been incredible, especially since I am in such a difficult major. My first year, my chemistry professor worked hard to help me go from failing the first exam to ending with an A. He hosted many extra test review sessions, was very helpful and patient in his office hours, and paid close attention to each students needs.

Utica is a renowned Cybersecurity School, and easily has the best internet connection iv'e ever seen. I downloaded 60gb of data in 4-6 minutes. Everyone here is here to help you, and if you have any questions, people will literally scramble out of their offices to help. I love this campus.

Most professors are dedicated to the students and classes were enjoyable. Apply yourself to your academics, if you do you will succeed. There are resources for help, from professors to tutoring services to counseling services. Take advantage of assistance and opportunities on campus like clubs and activities to make the most of your experience.

Utica College is my home away from home. The faculty and staff has gotten to know me on a personal level and they have provided me plenty of opportunities to succeed in my academic career. I have met many amazing friends at Utica College and the student life is great!

Great decision coming to Utica college. I met a lot of new people and had fun. The only thing that sucks is the food. Try to get the cheapest meal plan, it sucks that bad.

Get ready to hemorrhage cash. This isn't a school it's a for profit corporation.
Overall 1.1
Absolutely horrible. No dining options, no off-campus entertainment, no social life, horrific administration. Some professors are great, most are lazy after tenure. NOT SAFE WHATSOEVER. School has had multiple lockdowns and threats made.
Overall 1.6
Not the place you want to be if you value opportunities via professors, social experience, + campus events. Professors are often unapproachable, the campus doesn’t have many resources/ events for students, + visiting any of the career or student living offices never helps. Health center advises to just visit urgent care + nothing is open
Overall 1.6
It's a good school major wise. It has a great construction management program, but everything else is rather sucky.
Overall 1.8
School has one of the worst dining quality i have ever seen at a school. The cafe is known for being bad so won't be getting good food. Need to update professor list, the school has problem professor/staff but i feel they don't attempt to address this issue. Campus safety and ResLife care more about disciplining students than protecting them.
Overall 1.9
It's like a glorified high school. Nothing really happens here, it's not the stereotypical college experience. You'll get your work done here, but won't come out with many stories. If I had to pick my college again, I don't think it would be UC. However, my program (health studies) is great.
Overall 1.9
Where to begin? First take a look at the acceptance/graduation rate and it will be easy for you to understand what kind of college Utica really is. The food is horrible, the social scene is weak, and academics are a joke. Utica College is located in a bad neighborhood as well. The only positive Utica has is the dome. Apply else where.

Transferring after my first year don't get anything for the amount of money I pay. Disgusted I wasted that much money after the first year. Horrible school
