Community

A community is where a group of people living in the same location share the same culture and environment. Typically this group of people share common values and beliefs which makes them feel comfortable in their own community. When someone goes against the community they tend to stand out amongst the group. The community here at SUNY Albany consists of hard working students who tend to work together to make their community as appealing as possible. We are all striving to be the best students possible and even have groups within the community to help achieve this goal. I am proud and honored to be a member of this community here at UAlbany.
