man i want to go here but i dont see to much diversity.... well from yor experience is it diverse?

[SLYBOOTSVIDEO]

Of course, everyone's definition of "diverse" is much different. At Purchase, a lot of students with different socio-economic backgrounds, religious beliefs, sexual preferences and artistic abilities/tastes converge. You can find pretty much anything you're looking for in some shape or form.

Thanks for the info Slyboots. Okay, i almost just spit up my morning coffee...Purchase has a STARBUCKS? WTF?? Corporate america has invaded. Back in the mid 90's, the only thing that we had to deal with in that respect was (of course) Pepsico across the street & the fact that the performing arts theatre was funded & named after them. Geez, talk about times-they-are-a-changin'. Oh, & what's with the lame name "Fort Awesome"? Ugh.

[SLYBOOTSVIDEO]

Yeah...to be fair, the food service on campus, Chartwells, licenses the Starbucks name, so it's not a full fledged starbucks. But Chartwells is a huge corporation itself...

Anyway, the school build a huge new dorm back in 05 and decided they'd have a contest to name it. Fort Awesome was one of the names and it won. Oddly enough, it's that simple.

sounds great...i'm thinking about going to Suny purchase and i checked their website but i really kinda wanted to also know about how the student life is there..this really looks like a lot of fun and a great, creative atmosphere to be in! nice video :)

[SLYBOOTSVIDEO]

If you check out the rest of the Purchase related videos I've posted I think you can get a fair assessment of whats up. Of course, things and people are constantly changing, so don't base everything you know off of these videos. Visit, walk around, talk to people!

@SLYBOOTSVIDEO Yayy! that sounds awesome man, i really want to go to purchase to experience this life. I am just afraid because i wont know anybody and most likely wont live on campus for the first semester. I have had a bad HS experience cuz i didnt fit in, I am hoping going to purchase would change that. Do you have any advice?

P.S: i am super nice lol

[awesomemike27]

my goal is to attend SUNY Purchase for the Acting B.F.A program! I've had my eyes set on this college for a while now, so hopefully I make it in next fall! Follow me on twitter! @MichaelwHoward

[prokells]

do you need to stay in a dorm or just go every day ?

[ItsRipley]

@guitarshredder920 I loved Purchase. I left and I miss it. The Stood is awesome. The VA building is awesome. Lots of talented people go to Purchase. It's definitely diverse. The only thing that would stop you from liking Purchase is if you were a homophobe, racist, complete and utter closed book, etc. Visit Purchase.

[greatrayray]

was that Holy Fuck in the video?

[lightlord99]

if i dont get into purchase than i dont want to go to college.

[DudeManGuy1019]

The Stood looks like The Max from Saved by the Bell.

Hey i'm a junior in high school now and next school year I'm thinking about applying to purchase. When I think of diverse I think of race. What is the dominate race at the school. And on avarege what is the percentage of African American students there. Also do you know anything about the journalism program at purchase? If you do how is it?
