The State University of New York College at Geneseo has carved an impressive niche among the nation's premier public colleges. The New York Times has noted that Geneseo has become 'one of the country's most highly regarded public colleges,' and the school has been ranked consistently among the nation's top colleges in annual guides published U.S. News & World Report, Money, Time and Kiplinger's Personal Finance magazines. And according to The Fiske Guide to Colleges, written by former New York Times education editor Edward B. Fiske, Geneseo offers 'a comprehensive educational experience that would be the envy of many private colleges.' The college opened to students in 1871 and became an original member of the State University of New York system in 1948. The college is located in the historic landmark village of Geneseo in the scenic Genesee River Valley region of Western New York, which is approximately 30 miles south of Rochester, N.Y. and 70 miles east of Buffalo, N.Y.
