Doesn't get enough credit - fall's under this stigma of SUNY schools, but really isn't a SUNY anymore. Changing the game, you'll get a balance of everything here ~ Academics, Social Life, Value.

Joining clubs and teams are necessary to have an interesting campus life. There are plenty of activities to attend if you are actively looking for them. Although there are places for nightlife, it's generally not too bad.
