Hi! I was also accepted into Saint Rose's CSD program for the fall. I used to live in the Albany area, and I can't wait to get back in the fall. As far as night life goes, Lark Street is one of the more popular areas to hang out. There are plenty of bars, restaurants, and coffee shops there, including Bomber's Burrito Bar (fun bar upstairs, amazing burritos downstairs). As for dancing, there's Jillian's down on Pearl Street (a little further south from campus than Lark, so probably not walkable) as well as a few other places strewn about the city. It all depends on what kind of music you're into. Jillian's is more of a "dance club," whereas someplace like the Fuze Box on Central Ave is a bar that happens to have dancing (usually 80's or 90's theme nights). I keep reading all the old posts about safety, but I spent my early 20's having tons of fun in this area without ever worrying about my safety. Feel free to PM me if you want. I'm eager to meet other students who will be attending the CSD program!

Hi all! I'm completely new here but wish I had known about this place when I was completing my applications. It would have been nice to know I wasn't the only person fretting over the whole process! I'm currently in PA, but I applied to schools in a few different locations since I'd heard getting into grad school could be really competitive. At this point, I've been accepted at 4 of my 5 schools, but since the last one is just a safety school for me I've already made my decision. I'll be attending the College of Saint Rose in Albany this fall! After visiting their clinic during my interview, I really felt at home there. The professors I met were very warm and seemed genuinely excited about both their program and their students. I also used to live in that area and have been dying to get back, so this is the perfect opportunity! I'm just wondering if anyone else here has been accepted at St. Rose and if they plan to attend? It would be nice to get to know some fellow students before moving up there.
