The State University of New York at Fredonia is a public university in Fredonia, New York, United States. It is the westernmost member of the State University of New York. Founded in 1826, it is the seventh-oldest college in New York, and second-oldest public school in New York after SUNY Potsdam (1816).
The numbers tell a mixed story here: at just $15,644/year after aid and a median graduation debt of only $17,500, Fredonia is genuinely affordable — but a 53% graduation rate means roughly half of students who start don't finish, which is worth taking seriously. Worth considering if you're drawn to its music, arts, or education programs and have a clear plan to stay on track, but make sure to ask hard questions about support services and why so many students leave before finishing.
