From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

The State University of New York College at Cortland, also called SUNY Cortland, is located in Cortland, New York. Cortland is located off of Interstate 81, between Syracuse and Binghamton.

History

The State University of New York College at Cortland was founded in 1848 as the Cortland Normal School, which included among its earliest students inventor and industrialist Elmer A. Sperry of Sperry Rand Corp. fame. It became a full 4-year college in 1868

Over time, the campus continually grew, and in 1941, by an act of legislature and the Board of Regents, the institution officially became a four-year college providing courses leading to the bachelor's degree and soon was widely acknowledged as Cortland State Teachers College. In 1948, Cortland was a founding member of the State University of New York.

Today, approximately 7,000 students are pursuing degrees within the College's three academic divisions — arts and sciences, education and professional studies. Twenty-eight academic departments with a faculty of more than 500 offer the SUNY Cortland student body 63 majors and 44 minors from which to choose.

The College's main campus covers 191 acres (773,000 m²) and includes 30 traditional and modern buildings. Fourteen of these structures are residence halls providing on-campus housing for approximately 3,000 students. SUNY Cortland also operates its Outdoor Education Center at Raquette Lake in the Adirondacks, the Hoxie Gorge Nature Preserve outside Cortland, and the Brauer Education Center on the Helderberg Escarpment near Albany.

The U.S. Department of the Interior in 2004 designated Camp Pine Knot, now known as the Huntington Memorial Camp and part of its Outdoor Education center at Raquette Lake, N.Y., as the first and only National Historic Landmark within the State University of New York (SUNY). Camp Pine Knot was the first Great Camp of the Adirondacks and the birthplace of what is now known as the Adirondack style of architecture. SUNY Cortland has 55,000 alumni living in all 50 states and in more than 40 countries.

Question: SUNY Oswego or SUNY Cortland?

I am currently a high school senior and I have recently applied to several colleges including both Cortland and Oswego. I was wondering, which university is more competitive as far as admissions?

Cortland is more difficult. But there is not a huge difference.

Question: I was thinking of going to Suny Cortland but need an apartment close to the college that is affordable ?

I'm looking for an apartment with a lot of benefits with a decent rental fee or lease for the semester. I need something with snow removal and nomaintenancee needed just something that I can count on for going to and coming back from school to work on papers. If it is close enough to the university I wouldn't need internet access but would like at least cable access. Please HELP!!! Thanks in advance..
