The quality of the courses offered online at SUNY Plattsburgh is phenomenal. Truly, I did not expect the courses to be of such quality and value. The professors are great also and they make me work hard, I mean, really hard. But the studying is very rewarding, albeit challenging, and I tremendously enjoy it.
