Holiday Shopping Fun
The students of the College Experience are stimulated by interactive learning experiences during a typical school day at the College of Saint Rose, but at the same time it is also important to factor in fun breaks and adventures in the community.
This particular day on Friday, December 20th, brought students and staff to Crossgates Mall and the Colonie Center, as staff assisted them with their holiday shopping. The students did an excellent job of stretching their holiday budget in order to accommodate as many friends and loved ones as possible, including purchasing at least one special thing for themselves, as we all should do this time of the year.

We wish all of the students a wonderful Holiday Season with their respective families and know the gift recipients will enjoy the outcome of this shopping expedition as well as the students’ thoughtfulness!
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.
