CUNY Queens College Top Questions

Is the stereotype of students at CUNY Queens College accurate?

Alexandria

QC students are apathetic, however there are a small majority of students who are not. There is school spirit, just not when it comes to sports.

Jane

it is totally diverse. the anti-social part is correct.

brian

Sometimes. I find that when you meet people on campus you must get to know them and quick since its very likely that after that semesters class or something you won't ever see them again.

Seth

Unfortunately.

josie

absolutely not. QC is amazing the quality of learning here has really blown my mind. and although it's a commuter college, the degree of integration lays in the hands of each individual--if you want to get to know people-GET INVOLVED in activities join clubs, make yourself available!

Victor

Yes.

Ryan

no, i'm not saying that everyone had to or should go to college but if you need help in a subject the school will help you do better in your class. they don't expect you to do well in every subject without going to someone for help.

While some of the students do go home as soon as they are done for the day, most of them don't. There is a Free Hour every Monday and Wednesday, where most of the 100+ clubs meet. Also, during the freshman year we have the CLIQ program, where you have to go to 6 events before getting 24 credits.

Well, I never thought of it as a big high school, and I don't want to because I find that very sad and discouraging. But first semester was kinda lonely and it felt as though you wouldn't be able to hang out with people you meet which is pretty true unless you truly make the effort. However, if you join clubs and stick to them you can end up feeling pretty welcome and at-home. As for QC not being the best quality, I don't buy that. We have some great professors that are the same or better than the ones at Columbia and NYU. And many others have confirmed this fact including the professors themselves.
