When I first arrived at Alfred University as part of the first group of Saudi Arabian students, I was warmly welcomed. I even requested to be the Saudi president of the organization through the Saudi Arabian culture mission. I organized the biggest event in Alfred village, which was the Saudi national day in 2019. Everyone who worked at the university was friendly, welcoming, and helpful. However, in 2021, myself and nearly 200 other Saudi students became increasingly frustrated with the immigration agents, registration office, and the slow response to our problems that we had to solve with the university. To be honest, it feels like the staff who once helped and welcomed us have changed, and I no longer feel like a part of the AU family.

Best college I've ever attended!

Amazing school. I don’t go here but my girlfriend does and, minus the stress that obviously comes from school, she seems to love it here! Obviously pricey, but you’re really getting what you pay for.

Honestly speaking, the university has a nice scenery and many resources but the people here are just!!! The food also is mid, not good, not bad, I have gotten sick from the food more times then id like to admit. For the amount of money they charge and the fact that they keep increasing each semester payment by about $1000, you would think new things or better quality would be introduced. They lure you in with a seemingly nice scholarship but then the semester payments make you have a mini heart attack. Even with loans and financial aid, they still have me paying about $4k for the semester payment. Absolutely ridiculous and not worth the money. The financial aid office lacks accountability sometimes aswell, if something needs to be updated/done or if something was updated, they won’t even let you know, you have to find out for yourself and sometimes have to dig deep with them. The counselors for therapy, come on, can we do better? Again, not worth the money. If you come to this school, I advise you to join off of HEOP or know that you will be able to afford thousand dollar semester payments (2k - 5k+). Alfred University, please do better. Your financial aid office and their process/effort. School Rating: 4/10

This review is not about the school itself or the beautiful music center. It is about the horrible parking situation during a big event at the music center. There is not enough parking. No shuttles, no one directing which way for additional parking, very long walk just to get to the facility. Very disappointed. But the building is great and all county was well attended and the kids did great.
