We took my son to check out Oswego. He would have received a nice scholarship from them, but the biggest issue was the building in the picture. The building will be a good thing.
The old bio and chem buildings stood next to one another, separated by a narrow alley. We were told (during the campus visit in Nov 2009) that one of the buildings (bio I believe) was to be leveled first. New construction would commence on that site. When that side was finished, chem would be leveled and new construction start there, culminating with both buildings being joined and then the new sciences building opened. In 11/2009 they hadn't broken ground -- it is great to see the new construction under way.
Classes were to be spread out through other buildings during construction.
If your major is science, it is inconvenient to not have a central building which on campus. In my son's case, the construction would be taking place for 3 years out of his 4 UG years.
On the positive side -- the new building will be incredible once finished. The current labs at Oswego
were state-of-the-art in the 1950's and 60's.
The campus itself is lovely, the freshman dorm beautiful (especially if you get a lakeside suite) and the student activities building very new with almost everything you will need under it's roof. There was also construction underwater for another dorm which resembled a small village. It appeared to be close to completion then.
