Are you asking if the city is decent/safe, or more details about what’s there/what to do? We visited in April 2024, while we weren’t there long enough to get to know Schenectady, there is nothing unsafe-seeming about the area.
My best friend’s daughter is there now and really doing well. There is academic support if you need it, she described her classes are very participatory instead of lecture style. My D25 considered it strongly bc of that experience (and also she had a positive visit), but ultimately didn’t want the trimester schedule.
