I do not think there is anyone who should "not" attend this school. I would say, however, that for an individual who is closed-minded, is uncomfortable with cultural and religious diversity, or is rigid towards non-standard school settings, they would have a difficult time establishing themselves at this school.

A person who wants the typical, movie-esque college experience should not attend City College. City College does not have a quad or dorms. There are very few sororities and fraternities.

In general, someone who believes in the academically rich, picturesque college experience should not go to City College.

younger traditonal students. most students are 21years of age and over and are either returning back to school after many years off or work full time and would like to find a program that's worker education friendly. a traditonal student who is looking for social activites and sports will not find what they are looking for. the center is team work driven and many students here are focused and have other responsibilities outside of school so social activities is not a priority.
