CUNY City College Top Questions

I absolutley love City College. I only wish there was more school spirit. It would be great to see more students wearing campus T-shirts and sweaters.

Sometimes the administration can be disorganized.

To be honest, some professors do not speak great English/have really heavy accents and it's hard to understand them. Some professors are disorganized. Most professors from my experience do not really try to help students who are doing poorly. They don't point it out to the student individually that he/she needs to improve. But of course as with any school, there are some professors who are actually great and you wish you can take every class with them.

The most frustrating thing about my school is the heavy workload that they place on the students. There is so much pressure to succeed, not only from the students, their parents, but as well as their teachers, and faculty. To add to that, each professor feels like their own class requires the majority of a students attention and focus. This causes an overwhelming amount of work especially for those in very intense fields such as medicine, engineering, Psych, architecture, etc.

Long lines.

There aren't enough administrative officers to tend to the large student popoulation. Often times, when you do get a chance to speak with them, you're shooed off or the response was insuffcient.

Professors that do not make class interesting or fun.
