Utica College is a small, private university on the west side of its namesake city. Since its founding in 1946, Utica College has established itself as one of the premier institutions of higher learning in central New York State. The small student body of around 4,500 and the fairly compact campus foster an intimate learning environment that supports a sense of community among the students, faculty, and staff. The on-campus Edith Langley Bartlett Art Gallery serves as a major facility in the local art scene, featuring an ever-changing rotation of exhibitions as well as an Artist in Residence program.
Living near the university campus puts you just minutes away from Downtown Utica, allowing you to easily hop into the city center anytime to take advantage of the extensive dining, nightlife, arts, and entertainment of the Handshake City. Rental rates tend to be fairly affordable all over town, and the area near Utica College is full of apartments, condos, and houses offering easy access to the campus.

School data provided by
GreatSchools
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.
