My husband and I both take courses at ESC. My husband is in the military and has had issues with the school since the beginning. They claim that you are assigned "mentors". What a joke! The mentors do not know what they are talking about half the time and that's if you can even get in touch with them! NOBODY had any idea what so ever about soldiers going to school. They claim to be ...

I have also just completed my BS in Community and Human Services and previously attained a AAS in Interdisciplinary Skills with SUNY ESC and am in agreement with the previous writer, the school is a good one.

If you're looking for adult education (quality education) DON'T GO HERE!!!As stated by (HORRIBLE!!) You learn the material yourself and NO the mentors aren't available. And the so call Professors aren't either. I've heard of complaints by other students (adults) how Professors made jokes referring to their English or lack of.Regardless of it being a SUNY school, it is at the BOTTOM. There's a handful of Professors that's totally into teaching, the others get paid to watch you teach yourself. Education is very important, as to the 4.5 stars statement, you only get what you pay for. WARNING: DO NOT ATTEND THIS COLLEGE!!!

I've been with Empire State now for almost 2 years.  I find the material challenging and relevant.  Your education is what you put into it.  I have never had any problems with my mentor.  She's always responded quickly to my needs.  This is a good school.
