I\u2019ve been here for two years and\u00a0 attended SUNY Broome my freshman and sophomore year. When applying for college I didn\u2019t know where I wanted to go, but I knew that I didn\u2019t want to be that far from home. That\u2019s why I decided on\u00a0 Broome because it&#8217;s about 30 minutes from home. I was able to live off campus and not commute so I was able to get a real college experience. After two years there I decided to go to Cortland because it was far from my home where I am able to be independent, but still close enough to go home if I need to. I am able to go to Cortland without having to have student loans because my parents can pay for it in full. That is a reason why I chose Cortland because I wouldn\u2019t have student debt. Cortland comes with a lot of expenses though whether it\u2019s parking, the price of textbooks (which I don\u2019t always need), or materials teachers make us get outside of the classroom. My major is important to me so I will do whatever it takes to obtain my degree, but the price for many things have gotten out of control and I believe all SUNYs need to look at their finances and think about their students.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I attend SUNY Cortland as a full-time student.
