Empire Commons

Beautiful college apartments! Really really nice. Washer/dryer and two full baths! Freedom was nice but empire is a step above!

I have a kid who's staying here! And it's because the housing that they had arranged 4 fell through, thanks to SUNY Albany. It's very very expensive for basically adequate living quarters.

They also make it very hard to get out of the contract and move into something less expensive if that comes through

The important thing to know is that this is considered luxury housing by the financial aid system at Albany and it isn't really that luxurious in fact it's not luxurious at all it's just basically adequate unlike some of their other student housing which is sub par and a 1/2. But they will literally cut some of your grants if you have to live here because it's considered Upscale.

The nice thing is that there's a lot of diversity, you will live from kids from all over the world, it's quite walkable to camp as, and again, it's pretty clean and basically adequate.

Good gym and the people at the front desk are always helpful
