SUNY Oneonta, Oneonta State, Stoneonta, whatever you call it, there is one name we can all agree on - home.
Sorry about that, I just finished a cheesy romance novel seminar. Anyway, located in the Catskills, next to the famous Cooperstown, and home of the one and only Jimmy T's, Oneonta NY is the place to be. With over 6,000 people enrolled at the College at Oneonta, college students pretty much make up this small town's population. Second to only the black crows.
SUNY Oneonta has won awards for its level of diversity. We have students of all races, religions, sexual orientations, and more. However, being in a close-knit community such as ours, we all begin thinking alike.
I decided to compile a list of the numerous thoughts you are likely to hear a student say once driving onto Ravine Parkway.

Are you having flashbacks? Reminiscing on memories? It's okay, I won't judge you if you start to cry. Oh, you're not crying? Don't tell me your eyes are just red from the second-hand high you get just from breathing in the air...
