Russell Sage college. Everytime I pay that loan payment I loath the name. My experiance there was rotten to the core and my reason was David Baeker. This teacher is a joke. Not only did he charm the faculty like the pied pipper but he threatened me when I told the dean about him cancelling classes for his own selfish needs. His words to me? "Just graduate and get the f*&k out of here!" He black mailed me so that I'd finish quietly, gave me the most disgustingly false hug at graduation and went about his own business. Also a man named Michael M, the music teacher. Where was he during my senior recital? No where. Your senior recital is supposed to be recorded and mine was a disaster! I performed well enough, but after I graduated several grad schools requested a copy of my senior recital and when I told them my 'supervisor' didn't record it they denied me entrance. If I were able to, I'd take back ever going to Russell Sage college. The only thing they did for me was beat me down and put me in debt. NEVER go there for theatre! The program is a scam!

I graduated from Russell Sage College in 2007 and loved my experience. The small school gave me personal attention to get the guidance I needed. I was able to get to know my professors well enough to explore independent projects that I was interested in. I was involved at in school activities and was able to have fun at RPI fraternities but I think things have changed since 1978. Most students at Sage take their academics seriously and are able to balance it with the variety of clubs, sports, etc. that Sage has to offer.

I went to Russell Sage years ago, in 1978, and it was one of the worst experiences of my life. Many students at that time were primarily focused on "going up the hill" to RPI fraternity parties. The standing joke was that they were working on their "Mrs." degrees. I was a serious students and felt like a complete oddball. Bad things happened while I was there ... the friend who told me about the college and convinced me to go there committed suicide by jumping off a bridge. The college held a meeting for faculty but did nothing to address the student's needs. Also, I was falsely accused of stealing money from the Biology Club and told to keep my distance from the Biology Department - hard to do because I was a Biology Major. The college back then was so conservative and unaccepting. I hope it has changed. I still have bitter feelings about my experiences there.
