Student reviews

Professors

Current Student

My experience in Keuka College has been exceptionally good. This college doesn't make me feel like a number and makes me like I'm able to be successful in life and they are able to build this path for me with guidance. The professors I currently have are the most understanding professor and I am able to build a connection with my professors and makes it easier for me to be able to reach out to them.

Current Student

If you choose to come here you will have many great professors. However, do not take their kindness for granted. Do take some time to explore Penn Yan a bit. Don't be afraid to work in work study jobs. Some of the coworkers you get can be a great support system.

Current Student

A good choice if you want flexibility along with a challenging program.

Current Student

Study hard, Go to class, take 15 credits in case you need to drop a class so you can still be a full time student. Ask questions the professors will help you.

Campus and vibes

Current Student

Keuka College loves to say small on purpose! That is one reason I really enjoying going here. Thinking about going to an overcrowded College scares me. I like the small class sizes and the one-on-one time with the professors. It's also really pretty here on Keuka Lake. Like literally lake front property.

Current Student

Like any college, work is a must. Being here, it is easy to get distracted to be sure to have strong will power but be sure not to get too overworked. Also, Get involved! Being in a small environment, you get noticed for what you do! So be sure to do stuff.

Current Student

Don't let the amount of activities around campus hold you back from keeping up your grades. The view of the lake, the nearby cities, and the activities on campus during the week and pretty much every weekend can help take your focus away from school. You will learn to balance it all out though-- fun and school is in the near future at Keuka!

Current Student

make sure you come and visit so you know that it is a secluded campus and that you think you can handle not being right next to the city.

Current Student

Getting 'stuck' with two roommates in not necessarily a bad thing.

Cost and value

Current Student

It may be expensive but apply as soon as you get the chance because the campus is beautiful and the courses are definitely worth the cost.
