Yes, they called us “Stumpies” back in the early 80s when I was there. Although, I took primarily engineering and marketing courses. Meaning I was taking Calculus, applied physics and then marketing at SU. Along with elective courses at SU.

SUNY ESF is the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry.

I took ONE forestry course(Dendrology-standing tree ID) the entire time I was there. We walked around the big cemetery a lot looking at big old trees.

When I was there I was paying $2500 a year for tuition. Kids at SU right next door were paying $9K. We got to take all the same classes. When I took an elective course with a lab fee the state of NY paid the lab fee. $250 for Scuba diving. I took my open water in Skaneateles Lake.

There was also the SUNY Nursing school there too. Most of the girls lived in the dorm right by the highway. We called it the Convent.

I lived at South Campus. In those concrete shoe boxes up on the hill. Then I lived on Fellows Ave. Which was out Euclid Ave about ten blocks east of the campus.

I also worked at the Carrier Dome in events production. I set up for football, basketball, concerts or any other Dome event. Got to see a lot of concerts for free. Met a few entertainers. Also got to stand next to Patrick Ewing(monster center from Georgetown) and saw Ronnie Seikle turn from a big tall Klutz into a professional Basketball player.

I was only there my junior and senior year. I went to SUNY Morrisville for my first two years. Morrisville was down on Rt 20 between Cazenovia and Colgate U.
