Asked by daisy
Is Alfred University and Alfred State University the same college? There both in New York but I was just wondering if they are the same. Thanks

I live in upstate NY and applied to both of these schools. No they are not the same school. They are across the street from each other, but one is a state school and the other is private so tuition is significantly different between the two. Alfred State is also a tech school and typically only has programs that last for about 2 years whereas AU has four year programs and graduate programs. Here are their websites www.alfred.edu/ (Alfred University) and www.alfredstate.edu/ If you're looking to apply to one or the other I would look at the academic programs because they are much different at each school and it will depend greatly on what you're looking to study to decide which school to apply to. Also, these schools are in the middle of nowhere, there are no places to "hang out" outside of the college campus' so be prepared to study alot, drive a ways for entertainment, or find alternatives to amusing yourself.
