1. Hunt Union Pond.
The pond outside of Hunt Union is a beautiful place to take a picture. Fun fact: it is shaped like the state of New York without any of the islands (i.e. the City and Long Island.) The fountain is said to be positioned where Oneonta is located on the map! It's a great place to bring a book, do homework, or hang out with friends. On a nice day, there are a bunch of people surrounding the pond and embracing the beauty of it. No matter what season it is, this pond is a focal point on campus.
2. Hulbert Hall.
The flags located hanging from the ceiling in Hulbert Hall is a great place to take a picture. You can show your ethnic pride during sporting events by snapping a picture of your favorite flag or take a picture of them all! The rollings hills that can be seen in the background also make for a beautiful scene. Another plus to taking a picture in Hulbert is the dining hall so you can grab a bite to eat after.
3. Fitzelle Hall.
The academic building, Fitzelle Hall, was recently, completely renovated and serves an eco-friendly purpose, reaching LEED Silver certification. With this building, SUNY Oneonta is building a greener future. Along with its sustainability features, Fitzelle Hall has many picture worthy structures, like these amazing lighting fixtures that are a must-have for any Instagram feed. They will make all of your friends from home wish that they had buildings on their campus that could compare to Oneonta's.
4. Pillars.
As an SUNY Oneonta student, you know the tradition of passing through the pillars as a freshman and eventually, a senior. The pillars were made to document important accomplishments in your academic life. All the fuss on campus is about taking a picture from the top of the pillars, but snapping a pic from the bottom of the pillars of the academic quad is just as gorgeous. It shows off the nature on campus with a view of Oneonta's mountains in the background. If you ever have time before classes climbing the stairs is totally worth is.
5. Quad.
The cultural pillars, located in the academic quad, offer an ideal area to show off on social media. It not only looks beautiful, but it also shows off SUNY Oneonta's cultural diversity and how we embrace people from all walks of life on campus!
No matter where you are on campus, SUNY Oneonta offers gorgeous scenery whether it be fall, winter, or spring. Take a stroll through campus and see where the sidewalk takes you. What can you capture with just your phone's camera?
