Upholding SUNY’s tradition of excellence on the banks of the Susquehanna

Public Liberal Arts Historic Rural Small Town Red Dragons

Serving central New York State since 1889, SUNY College – Oneonta is a fairly small institution of around 6,000 students. The college upholds SUNY’s reputation for academic excellence, and earns high rankings among its fellow northern regional schools. Roughly half of the students enrolled choose to live on-campus, dramatically reducing the competition for convenient off-campus housing.

SUNY Oneonta sits on the north side of its namesake city, a small community about halfway between Albany and Binghamton on Interstate 88. The Upstate countryside borders the campus to the north, while the south side faces primarily residential neighborhoods. Rental rates near campus tend to be quite affordable, and many houses, apartments, and condos are easily within walking or biking distance.

The sprawling Wilbur Park is a few blocks away, providing a tranquil area to enjoy the fresh air and sunshine. Downtown hosts a bustling Main Street corridor lined with popular restaurants, bars, and coffeehouses catering largely to the local student population.
