SUNY Ulster is a public community college with its main campus in Stone Ridge, New York, in Ulster County. It is part of the State University of New York (SUNY) system. The college also maintains facilities in Kingston at the Kingston Center of SUNY Ulster (KCSU).

Worth considering if you're looking to keep costs low while staying close to home — at just $4,586/year after aid and a median debt of only $6,266 at graduation, this is one of the more affordable paths through higher education in New York. That said, median earnings of $35,600 a decade out suggest many graduates end up in modest-paying fields, so think carefully about your transfer or career plan before enrolling. It works best as a stepping stone — especially given its SUNY system connections — rather than a final destination.
