Kevin - 11/10/2020

I believe it is an above average community college, with a normal pay price for tuition, but needs to help more with students and their ways of being able to pay for college, considering how complicated the system is. The idea Im trying to place is that students in this school can obtain a good education , but they really need help with ways they can pay for college.

Marina - 07/03/2020

The school can be better. However, it doesn't really have a campus on its own. And it shares streets with the NYU. The women's bathrooms are located on every other floor. So it makes it very inconvenient. Not to mention it is very hard to find anything in the school. It is the equivalent of going to high school.

Chanel - 06/27/2020

The campus library is my go to area outside of class. There is a mac lab for apple users, including Dell desktops. Due the pandemic the campus is closed and possibly undergoing renovations. There is a new building, I haven't had classes in the building yet, but will explore once the campus is open.

Georgia - 02/10/2020

My first Semester at CUNY New York City College of Technology has been good so far. I really do think that the experience you have in school depends on how much you make of your education. The effort, time you spend in making sure you achieve your goals. There are many assistance at the school you just have to ask questions, read notices and stay updated. My professors so far are very good and well educated in there field of study. The employees at the school are very polite and are willing to help and provide you with any assistance needed. It is also somewhat affordable compared to private universities.
