Rob who is the waterfront director is totally aloof to everything around him. Took a class with him...worst guy ever...if you re not with him he HATES YOU! Disagree with him, his answer to everything is simply "that's bullshit!" Good job Rob way to be a leader. Terrible... Update: Summer 2016 Had a few parents I know from aorund NYC enroll kids in summer camp. Not safe at all. Watefront is using 16 year old camp couslers to teach power boat lessons. Doesn't seem safe when 1 16 year old kid, who is just learning to drive no less, is in charge of a powerboat full of kids at full speed on the long lsland sound. Rob T. Crafa may know (or thinks he knows) "everything" but he is very distant to basic safety concerns. When it comes to "HIS" agenda, stay out of his way if you have a problem. Parents have also stated that when they come to pick-up kids from camp, staff if working on boats VERY VERY nearby. And I am talking about painting bottoms, power washing boats, changing oil etc. I thought this was a camp for kids not a working boat yard with slave labor. I'd think twice before I send my kid there. Also, I have heard that SUNY is building there own IC24 Boats. That's exactly what I want for my kids, to sail a chopped up boat that was built by amature boat builders. BEWARE OF SAFETY AT THIS PALCE.

Come here if you are willing to work hard and you don't mind not having a typical college experience. You will work hard, you will suffer, and you will have to put up with a some red tape. 4,5 years it will be worth it.

leadership, excellent and commitment

There are numerous opportunities for students to take advantage of on and off campus. The school is for individuals who have a very good idea of what they want to do in the future. Also, graduates are benefit from an enormous alumni base and most are employed soon after they finish.

A great experience both in and out of the classroom. Professors are very helpful and patient. I am very happy to be attending.

This school can be misleading with pertinent information. The curriculum can be frustrating with what is assigned as necessary to be taken compared to what is actually going to be used.

College has a very good academic program. It's strict and teaches discipline in every aspect of life. Good college all around.

Very good school for engineering. Everything is hands on and I wouldn't find any other way to learn better. You can also go abroad during the summer on summer sea term.

A bad school to attend. A great school to have attended. Still the best State Maritime Academy.

It is a crappy place to be, but it is a GREAT place to be from. If you complain a lot and don't put effort into things its not the college for you. If you are a hard worker and can handle a lot of responsibility, give it a shot. It really is a good college.
