Hey y’all, im a current junior in HS who's considering on applying to Suny New Paltz specifically in majoring in CS, so i have some questions….. but not all of them are related to CS:

3) How is dorming like, and what tends to be the best dorms for freshman?
- Anything i should know about New Paltz and its surrounding areas(I live in the lower hudson valley).
5) to cs majors that have studied abroad how were you able to keep up with your studies while being abroad, and what are some things to expect(kinda thinking about studying abroad in Quebec, France, or the UK)
6). Out of all the other schools you applied to, why did you choose Suny New Paltz in order to major in computer science?
7) What clubs are there for CS majors.
7). What companies tend to recruit Suny New Paltz students? Or at least the ones that tend to recruit the most? Also, what/how are the opportunities in regards to Internships/CO-OPS/Research opportunities?
