Personally I'm not in favor of the merging of SUNY Potsdam and SUNY Canton. Yes the schools are just within a few miles of each other, and yes the schools are both apart of the SUNY system; however the similarities stop there. Potsdam is a liberal arts school, which excels in the music, and teaching. Canton on the other hand, I dont think there are any music classes on campus, and our teaching program is only a two year program. Trying to get into Potsdams early childhood ed after graduating from the Canton's basically sets you back as a freshman. So how are we going to make this one campus when its a night mare to have classes transfer from one campus to the other. Can they promise that it will be easier to transfer?
Canton attracts a student of a different nature than Potsdam, I find that most of Cantons students learn better hands on, which is why one would choose to attend a technical school.
