Plattsburgh
Sleepy town in upstate New York only going ons are the occasional college party, meth lab busts, or walking around the mall. For fun many teenage residents go to Montreal to drink or walk the streets of the "Burgh" for hours loathing their own existence. Due to the crippling bored found here drug use and alcoholism of all those who are above the age of 12 is very high and considered the favorite pastime of the city. Also winters are cold the weather men are treated like gods and there is a hatred of all things french canadian that can only be compared to south's hatred of freed slaves after reconstruction.

I need to get out of Plattsburgh.

Plattsburgh
A wonderful little town in picturesque northern NY. In the late 70s to early 80s known as the number one place to find the first exploded USSR nuclear warhead. Plattsburgh is now, as then, known to be a very safe and pleasant town. Bordered on the east by the sixth great lake, Lake Champlain, and on the west and south by the Adirondack mountains, Plattsburgh boasts both water sports and skiing within the range of a motorcycle's reserve fuel. All in all, a great city to raise a family.

"I pine for the days when a 10 year old kid could ride his bike to school without the fear of someone kidnapping him. Those days are gone."
"Dude, that still exists in Plattsburgh."

Plattsburgh
A town in extreme upstate New York that is pretty much the only place for activity in that whole area. Very cold in the winter.

I went up north towards Quebec; all of interest along the way was in the city of Plattsburgh.

Plattsburgh
let's just say that without the college, there wouldn't be a city. the winters are long, freezing and full of parking bans. the city cops pretend like they are nypd. they pull over everyone and anyone and treat them like they are some kind of drug dealer wanted in 20 states...i mean after all, they were going 33 in a 30. The summer brings out all the local townies and farmers, and they dress for the occasion! They all head down to the super walmart for some fun.

If you must go to Plattsburgh, bring a camera..you may be lucky enough to see Champ, the sea monster of Lake Champlain..dun dun duuuun!

SUNY Plattsburgh
State University of New York at Plattsburgh was once known as a sub-par institution. From 1971-2005, a person pretty much needed a #2 pencil to get in.

Due to the rapid influx of Gen Y freshman tied with the 2008 recession, the admissions office started getting strict (like all SUNYs) in their selection process, and the overall campus community started to mature.

An accounting professor who once taught at the prestigious Wharton School of Business came to Plattsburgh State in 2009 for a trial semester. He stayed because, "the students are hungrier for knowledge". (Note: The business school is AACSB accredited)

Thus some time between 2003 and 2007 the last gasp of morons started to graduate (or drop out) and Plattsburgh found itself as a premiere institution.

So if you're looking for social diversity and well-rounded business, communications, nursing and education programs. You'll get it at SUNY Plattsburgh.

Thankfully there are no more people on campus like the author of Plattsburgh State University, so ignore the school's old reputation. I did, and now I have a great job

I heard SUNY Plattsburgh sucked academically.

You're right, it did suck. But it no longer does suck.

SUNY Plattsburgh
Where the biddies are boppin' and the playas get poonan all day. Formally known as P BURGH .. some may even go as far as to call it Plattsvegas, either name will suffice. Everyday is a party and whether you are invited is up to you. Beers Blunts and Bongs are around every corner. If you go here and havent smoked a fatty behind Wilson .. you havent lived.

Parties at frats are sketchy but theres no place to sketch around like the Burgh. Brink, Couch, Helen, South Catherine, and Broad are the names of the streets that will hold your finest party memories .. or lack there of.

fucken rage burgh style, i dare you

I was so fucked up last night .. only at SUNY Plattsburgh

Plattsburgh State University
A small SUNY school in the heart of Plattsburgh, NY, a small north country town on Lake Champlain about 20 minutes away from the border (and a really "awesome" bar called The Rocket, where you can get some coke with that Molson). Nearly every student enrolled, except for the copious amounts of Japanese exchange students, had Plattsburgh as about number six on their list of schools they wished to attend. Then, they either got lazy or didn't get into any other school they applied to. So they came to Plattsburgh State University becuase if you could write your name on the application you were in. This led to the massive influx of freshmen in the fall of 06, leading to really lame parties and no parking spaces for anyone. In past years, it was actually really fun. Then all the fun people left. Over the years, it has gotten progressively lamer. When students get really bored of the lameness, they take a trip to Montreal and realize how shitty their life is. This is usually compensated for by heavily drinking at least 5 days out of the week and smoking ones self stupid, then going downtown to get Pizza Bonos. Homework is rarely done, not because of laziness, but because this is Plattsburgh.

for some reason, the administrators changed the name to Plattsburgh State University College in 05. why the repetativeness? no one knows.

One of the qualities a Plattsburgh State student must have is a deep, penetrating hatred for ones self and a want to either jump off of the Kehoe administration building with a group of friends or drown themselves in the the Hawkins Pond. There is actually a facebook group devoted to this sentiment. If you go to Plattsburgh, you are probably a member.
Another is a drive to become the best semi-functioning alcoholic/stoner they can be.

Most students say they are going to transfer next semester. They want to see if they'll hate themselves as much somewhere else. They will. This transfer to another school rarely happens, and if it does, that person is our life-long idol.

If you go here, you know and love poutine.

Hey, what do you want to do on this fine, freezing cold August day at Plattsburgh State University ?

I want to drink my face off, try not to kill myself, and smoke myself retarded!

Awesome! me too!

Sweet! then we can go to Pizza Bonos, drink more downtown, then go jump in Lake Champlain and hope that Champy gets us before hypothermia!

Boy, I love Plattsburgh State University.
