Living Resources has played an important role in our lives. Just over 3 years ago, we had no idea what our son David, who was diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum at age 3, would do when he graduated from high school on long Island in June 2016. Traditional college was not right for…
Since his admittance two years ago, our son has evolved into a confident young man, bolstered with many new skills learned in this invaluable program.
Joseph has learned to trust his many new friends He is much more confident and willing to initiate and try new experiences.
What comes after graduation? Many College Experience students, in fact most, choose to remain in Albany. They maintain friendships with their fellow and former graduates, form romantic partnerships, and some get married.
Through our C2L Program, the College Experience support staff offers dedicated transition support and guidance, helping students in the year after graduation with apartment leases and job placements, and then literally forever after as members of the Living Resources community.
Since 2005, students enrolled in The College Experience have been a welcomed part of a coeducational college community located in Albany, New York. We partner with Russell Sage College, and our students are welcomed members of both Russell Sage’s Albany and Troy campus communities.
Students are offered a practical core curriculum and a wide variety of electives.
Our dorms are beautifully remodeled city residences located just a few blocks from Russell Sage’s Albany campus. Students live together in groups of 3 – 9. Each student has his or her own bedroom and share common living areas. Seniors serve as mentors to freshmen and assist them in many meaningful ways.
