Editors say the Guide --researched and written by
undergraduate college students at Yale University, and
one of the biggest-selling college guides
available—“includes colleges we believe to be among
the best and most noteworthy in North America.” The
main factor for selecting schools is academic quality.
The editors boast that this guide offers “just the
unvarnished truth about campus life told directly by
the students who live it.”

Excerpts about AU:

“Alfred draws in a wide range of students from all sorts
of backgrounds. In this small town, students band
together and experience what has been described as
“a great four years.”

“Alfred…tends always to be on the cutting edge. ‘Our
campus is constantly being remodeled—it’s great!’
boasted one student.”

“Professors teach not only all lectures, but conduct all
discussion sessions as well. The small-scale learning
environment fosters a supportive environment…and
the close-knit community allows for students to
participate more confidently in their education…Professors and students are often seen
meeting for a meal or coffee at a local eatery. At
Alfred, learning is not confined to the classroom.”
