A-Albany
The city in which we attend this wonderful university, can you hear the sarcasm?
B-Bob Ford
The coach of the Men’s Football team from 1970 to 2013. The football field at Casey Stadium is named after him and so is a portion of Western Avenue.
C-Collins Circle
In the Spring and Summer you see students hanging out on this big circle in front of the podium, tanning and playing sport, in the Winter this is where students make snow-private parts.
D- Downtown Albany
Where upperclassmen live and underclassmen get scammed for whack house parties.
E-Empire Commons
The on-campus apartments where everyone wants to live so they can turn up. Only the lucky will get a spot on Empire Commons.
F-Fire Alarms
There has to be at least 5 fire alarms in the dorms and on-campus apartments a day. The local fire department is probably tired of coming to the school for false alarms and we are tired of standing out in the cold at 1 a.m. because you didn’t know your popcorn was burning.
G- Great Dane
Our mascot. GO DANES!
H- Health Center
The off campus doctor we go to when we’re sick or just want a fake excuse to not go to class. There is a shuttle that takes students there Monday through Friday.
I- Indian Quad
The quad where most Albany students get their start. Also known as the Freshman Quad, they have the best food there.
J- Jones (President Robert J. Jones)
Our school president. Fun Fact: He has a Grammy Award from singing with Sounds of Blackness.
K- Kegs and Eggs
Just watch this video and be amazed

L- Liberty Terrace
The best apartment complex to live in on campus. It’s quiet and far away from the noise on campus. There are also great views of the parking lot on one side and the Indian Pond on the other.
M- Mail Services
The most inconvenient mail system in the universe. So many students use the mail system here, but the package pick-up window is only open from noon-5 p.m. and Monday through Friday.
N- November Slump
By November everyone is ready to go home and finish off the semester.
O- Orientation
The best two days that you’ll have at UAlbany. You make so many friends that you don’t keep for the four years.
P- Podium/Podiate
Where all of the classes are held. On nice days, the men and women of UAlbany podiate, or hang out on the podium instead of go to class.
Q- 5 Quad
The ambulance service on campus. Always coming in handy.
R-ResNet
The worst internet provider on the face of the planet. Don’t you agree?
S- SEFCU
The name of the bank on campus and also the gym complex.
T- Tunnels
The best thing that ever happened to students on a cold day in Albany, even though sometimes it’s a little too hot down there.
U- Uncommon Grounds
The best coffee and bagels on campus. They need to bring it back, but in the mean time go to the one on Western Avenue at University Plaza
V- Views
No matter where you are in Albany, you’ll get really nice views of sunrises and sunsets. Just beautiful.
W- Washington Avenue
The avenue that leads to everything UAlbany. It’s our address. 1400 Washington Avenue.
X- X-Tremely Cold Weather
We’ve had it pretty good so far this fall, but years past have been brutal.
Y- Yucky Food
The food on the quads and even in the new Campus Center sucks, but if you’re really hungry it will have to do.
Z- Zenger Hall
The best hall to live in on Colonial Quad. You don’t have to leave the building to get food because the dining hall is right downstairs.
