Opportunities at AU



Alfred University (AU) is a campus right across the street from Alfred State College (ASC) and they offer many opportunities for all students.  An Alfred State student can take classes at AU for free as long as they are registered as a full-time student at ASC and AU students may take courses at ASC for free as well. AU welcomes ASC students to join any of their multiple clubs, organizations, library facilities and events except for sport teams. AU also offers jobs to students. I know at least three other students from ASC that work at AU  and applying for a job at AU is very similar to the process of applying for a job at ASC. It is an awesome experience to have two colleges across from each other. My college life experiences have broadened because of the comradery between the two educational institutions. I have had the opportunity to take multiple dance classes and fulfilled one of my dreams by being a cheerleader. AU welcomes ASC students to be involved in their college activities. The other day I was walking through SLC and an AU student stopped me to be interviewed about my thoughts on the collaboration between the two campuses and what could be done to improve it. I said I thought it was amazing that we have opportunities at both campuses and awareness is the key because a lot of ASC and AU students are not aware of the advantages.  Collaboration between the two institutions offers more opportunities for growth and I feel that better promotion and more joint events should be sponsored by both schools.
