CUNY City College Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about CUNY City College? Why?

The research experience is simply phenominal. As an undergraduate I am able to say I have done Cancer Research. The experience and connections I have made are unmatched.

The crime rates around the campus area. It was only a week ago that a girl got mugged by two black men with bats and sexually assaulted.

I REALLY CAN'T FIND ANY FAULT WITH THE SCHOOL, BECAUSE THEY WERE SO ACCOMODATING TO WORKING PARENTS LIKE MYSELF. I WAS ABLE TO GET MY GRANTS AND LOANS WITH NO PROBLEM. I WAS ABLE TO ENROLL AND I RECEIVED CONSTANT SUPERVISION IN THE PROCESS AND IN WHAT COURSES WOULD FULLFILL THAT CURRICULUM AND COINCIDE WITH MY SCHEDULE.

The commute is the hardest thing because the campus is located in uptown Manhattan. Trains in the city are full of everyday commuters, so beware of that time before heading to class.

The worst thing about City is probably the limited dorming options. Most of the students commute from off campus, so the only housing there is the Towers, which is a nice facility but very expensive. I come from out of state so there isn't much choice for me but to live there. Though tuition isn't too bad, the housing cost adds up quickly. Also, there's no meal plan, which means buying groceries, unless you want to eat at the cafeteria in the school.

Despite the vast majority of courses and instructors at City College, this school surprisingly has limited courses. There are some courses that you can take for credits (like astronomy) but there aren't enough to allow you to major in it.

I think one caveat of attending CUNY City College is teh campus, which is right in the middle of a busy and crowded city like New York. There was no dorm, no green pastures to enjoy, no real campus life like other colleges I visited lately here in the south. There is also room for improvement in informing new students of what the school has available for them and how to access them. Registering for classes also was always a nightmare for there were always more students than there were classes available .

My college is pretty awesome but one thing that is a bit shaky is when I am not assigned a particular advisor. I mean sure there is an office named "Gateway" but they can only give you as much information. They can name each department and then you would have to walk building to building according to your interests.

One of the worse thing about my school is the prices of the food they offer. I study at the school daily but the prices push me to leave the school grounds to have a meal. Sometimes i don't even eat becasue the travel from the school to a deli is a hassle. Other than the food, everything they offer is fairly good.
