The Disability Service Center: More Then A Testing Center

Posted on May 10, 2017May 9, 2017 by Joseph Lupo

Starting college can be an incredibly stressful time for many students. It does not matter if you are starting your first semester after graduating from high school or transferring from a different college. The feeling of uncertainty is common for everyone. This includes students that are focused and have planned their entire academic paths or those who have not decided what course of study is right for them. We all need time to acclimate to college with all the feelings and emotions that com...

BEING AN INTERNATIONAL STUDENT

I still remember the day I got accepted in the college and I was officially ready to go to Farmingdale State College. It was a Dream accomplished for me and my family because there is a lot of sacrifices as to what I am today. My dad had big dreams for me, he is going to see me successful in days. I am blessed to have such a supporting family, they understand the effort and commitment we have in life and they also it takes to accomplish a goal.

My First Year at Farmingdale

Posted on May 9, 2017 by Uncategorized

My first year at Farmingdale has been a great journey finding new friends and learning more about what I would like to do in my future, but I’ve learned college is much different than High School. With all the clubs and activities on campus it makes school more entertaining and fun, but what I miss the most about High School that my college doesn’t have is music. When I was in High School I was in every club or organization that involved music. Music has always been my thing growing up, teaching...

Ever-since I was ten years old, I've made it a goal to work for the most magical place on Earth: Walt Disney World! As an avid visitor to the property- working there has always been a dream. Last year during Spring break, I went to California for a week to visit Disneyland and San Diego to look at potential graduate schools. When visiting Disneyland, I've become so much more interested in the company- seeing where the original magic was made, and to walk where Walt did was an amazing feeling ...

My first year at Farmingdale was sure a successful one. I have made so many new friends and have participated in a lot of activities on campus. Yeah, it was scary at first trying to find my way around campus and trying to make new friends. I took the initiative to get involved on campus and I am sure happy I did.

How to Occupy Your Time if You’re A Resident Student

Posted on March 4, 2017March 1, 2017 by Shirley Lin

If you’ve lived on campus, chances are that you’ve been bored quite a number of times. Our Resident population is about one in eight and that really shows in the number of things to do here – particularly on the weekends when most of that limited population goes home to visit friends or family elsewhere. Myself and a few other Rambassadors fall into that category and over the years, everyone has come up with their own ways to occupy time between classes and on the weekend. Let’s start out wit...

Delicious P.O.P’s Dining

Posted on March 3, 2017March 1, 2017 by Julio Macias

There are many food options on campus. My favorite place to eat on campus is P.O.P’s Dining. P.O.P stands for pay one price. The names suites such a fair price because the dining hall is all you can eat buffet style. The dining hall is available for any person that wants to eat breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Residential students can use their student IDs to have access for meals throughout the day. The hours are also convenient; the hours are from 7:30am to 8:30pm. There are only a few small break...

Resources Available to You on Campus

Posted on March 2, 2017March 1, 2017 by Liam Cullen

Office Hours – Take advantage of your professor’s office hours. This is the time when you can meet them for a one on one interaction and it serves as a great opportunity for you to go over any material you missed, air your concerns, review an exam, or just chat. Building relationships with your professors will benefit you in the long run, as you are more likely to excel in class, and they may also even serve as a valuable future reference! Tutoring – Not everybody is a natural when it comes...
