Serving central New York State since 1889, SUNY College – Oneonta is a fairly small institution of around 6,000 students. The college upholds SUNY’s reputation for academic excellence, and earns high rankings among its fellow northern regional schools. Roughly half of the students enrolled choose to live on-campus, dramatically reducing the competition for convenient off-campus housing.
SUNY Oneonta sits on the north side of its namesake city, a small community about halfway between Albany and Binghamton on Interstate 88. The Upstate countryside borders the campus to the north, while the south side faces primarily residential neighborhoods. Rental rates near campus tend to be quite affordable, and many houses, apartments, and condos are easily within walking or biking distance.
The sprawling Wilbur Park is a few blocks away, providing a tranquil area to enjoy the fresh air and sunshine. Downtown hosts a bustling Main Street corridor lined with popular restaurants, bars, and coffeehouses catering largely to the local student population.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
