SUNY Potsdam is excited to announce a new on demand way for prospective students and families to experience a SUNY Potsdam Open House. We have prepared informative videos pertaining to admissions, academics, financial aid and applied learning, among other topics. Though no virtual experience can compare to visiting our beautiful campus in person, we hope these videos can give you a feel of the SUNY Potsdam experience.
Visit from a Distance
Our virtual tour remains a great way to get a feel for everything SUNY Potsdam has to offer. Take a peek inside to virtually visit: a townhouse dorm room, a painting studio, the fitness center, our geology museum, our biggest concert hall, the WISER Greenhouse, the dance theater, and the ice arena, and our riverfront park.
