Adult learners
Classes at SUNY Adirondack have students of all ages, backgrounds and experiences. That mix enriches class discussions and helps our students see the world from different perspectives.
A lot of "nontraditional" (read: not 18 years old) students tell us they're worried about being the oldest student in the room, but after attending a few classes realize they had nothing to fear. You can succeed at SUNY Adirondack at any age.

Years in the making
I just put one foot in front of the other and marched my way through. I chipped away at it. It seems like a million years away when you need 65 credits and you only have three, but you keep going. It became a lifestyle. If SUNY Adirondack wasn't around, there would have been no opportunity to improve my skills and knowledge. There would have been no moving forward."
