GO LAKERS! The main reason I attended Oswego was because it was the only state school I got accepted into haha. It was one of my college choices because they had a hockey team (I had played hockey in HS but I was no where near good enough to join Oswegou2019s), they offered a broadcasting major (I was interested in pursuing a career in radio), and they had a photography minor (I had an interest in photography in HS but ended up not pursuing it in any way, shape, or form).Aside from that, it's a cool campus and they've upgraded it a ton since I graduated. They built a brand new campus center/college arena for their hockey team during my time, they've built new student housing, and if the programs are the same, they offer great opportunities. The views on the lake are amazing: one of the pitches they give you is Oswego has the 2nd best sunset in the world. I joined WNYO FM and it was one of the best experiences of my 4.5 years and I credit it with helping to lead me into the career path I chose (music industry).Oswego offers a wide variety of clubs and programs that will help you find yourself and help you find friends.The teachers I had, for the most part were great and we have a lot of famous and very successful alumni.The cons of going to Oswego is the lake effect snow, unless you enjoy winter. I didn't mind it until we got snow in April.I found out my freshman year Oswego was known as a heavy party school (most bars per capita in America at one point and they have the Bridge Street Run - a massive bar hopping experience). While I'm not advocating underage drinking, underage partying was a big part of my college experience and it may be a u201cnon-educationalu201d consideration for you as well.Good luck with your applications and if you decide to go Gold, congrats and good luck!
