CANASTOTA LOCATION

Canastota Campus Location/Physical Complex

USC opened its Branch in Canastota in April 1986, moving to its new location on Route 5 in September 1992.

The facility houses seven classrooms, a student lounge, faculty lounge, library/tutorial center, and an office complex. This lends itself to providing for small classes and a friendly atmosphere. Flexible scheduling allows for maximum use while encouraging excellent faculty-student relationships.

The Student Lounge offers a place to relax, talk with fellow students, and have a snack. Books and supplies are available for the convenience of students. The large parking lot provides off-street, free parking for all students. Those students living along the Route 5 corridor are also serviced by public transportation.

Student Life
Student activities are held throughout the year. Traditional activities include a Halloween party held on campus, a summer picnic held on campus and the Spring Fling dinner dance held at a local restaurant. Wednesdays are "Dress for Success Day". Annual shopping and sightseeing trips are planned within New York State. Students are also allowed to use the facilities of the Tri-Valley YMCA upon presentation of their student ID card.
Student Service Club Membership is available to students whose cumulative average is 3.25 or better and who are of outstanding character. Service Club members assist with student orientation, provide tutorial assistance, and help staff and faculty with college-related projects throughout the year.
