“I am into math and science, so I like problem solving. I like that the labs are hands-on, which give me the chance to fully understand what is being taught. The labs really go with the lectures. You are learning something and then you are learning it again in a way that will be useful outside of college.”
Marina Miketish
“Alfred State is such a hands-on program. You get to follow the process from start to finish, from programming to design, to the finished product. Everything that I learned in class, I use daily to do my job.”
Joshua Czerniak
“You build a sense of community with the people around you, being in the dorms brings people together in a way that you wouldn't expect. You meet lifelong friends.”
Jalen Smith
“The professors are walking around the lab and checking in on everybody multiple times throughout class. We are getting hands-on experience, one on one instruction. You cannot really beat that.”
Travis Cooney
“Everything that I learned at Alfred State, I use on a day-to-day basis. From changing tires to engine repairs and electrical diagnostic I feel like I was more than prepared from the beginning at Pooler.”
Noah Springer
“When I came and met the professors, I just knew this is where I wanted to be. They really care about what they’re teaching, and it’s not something you always find with professors. They’re passionate about the subject, and they care about you as an individual.”
Rebecca Randall
“I like fixing things and getting to see the finished product. I am putting on a whole new body panel on the back of a car. After it is done, you will be able to see the complete car and it will look like new again.”
Landon Spoonhower
“The possibilities are absolutely endless in the construction field. There are so many different positions you can take, and I found that especially true with construction management. There is always something new to learn.”
Kelsey Kellam
“I chose Alfred State because it is close to home and it had a good program. I want to help people and make an impact on people in our world today.”
Leilani Sloan
“I chose Alfred State because the program is primarily focused on getting hands-on, tools-on experience. I want to be able to not only work on cars and heavy equipment outside my home but also do work on my own vehicles.”
