About the Area

Living in Alfred is unique. Yes, it’s away from the city yet Alfred is full of life. You’ll be energized by all the opportunities to enjoy the outdoors with nearby lakes, wetlands, farms, and state parks. We call it the “Western New York Wilds” offering adventure and recreation while also peace and quiet to focus and live with purpose.

Alfred State is located in the beautiful Southern Tier of New York State. The college is 15 miles north of the Pennsylvania border, 70 miles south of Rochester, and 90 miles southeast of Buffalo. Letchworth State Park and the are less than an hour's drive.
