CUNY Queens College Top Questions

-

Ethnic and religious groups are very active on campus. Queens College also has active frats and sororities. Queens College competes in many college sports and has committed athletes in its student body.

Every semester, Queens College has a Club Day on the quad where students go to learn about the different clubs and groups on campus. There are a lot of sports teams that hold tryouts, political groups on campus like Young Democrats and United People (the current student government party in power), and social clubs like the Italian, Guyanese, Sikh, or Tertulia (Spanish-speakers) clubs. There's also a very active Hillel (Jewish student group) and MSA (Muslim Student Association) that get along very well. There are a few sororities and fraternities that have parties and do charity work, although I've personally never been to any soro/frat parties at Queens College. Off campus, people like to buy Hallal food from the stands right outside the campus gates or go to karaoke bars around in the Flushing area. It's not so difficult to get into the city so people go there to hang out. The truth is it's a commuter campus in a residential area, so there's not much to do. There's a LOT of learning and working in science labs and on-campus jobs and pick-up frisbee or football games when the weather's nice.

There are a variety of groups/organizations/clubs/teams. There are all kinds of sports on campus such as tennis, basketball, baseball, volleyball etc. When it comes to clubs, there are many multi-cultural events. I remember when I organized a multi-cultural party where everyone chose to bring a famous plate of their tradition. The great thing about Queens College is that it has dorms. They are all new and from what I have heard they are really nice inside. The libraries are also a great place to spend your time in. On finals week they are open all night and free midnight breakfast is served. The students that excel in their studies are always recognized. There are many honors programs that they can be part in. I am in the National Honor Collegiate Society and in the Business and Liberal Arts Honors Program. Parties and Festivals are organized by the Student Faculty almost every week. They make sure that they put posters around on campus and that they notify the students through e-mail/facebook.

different students associations often hold various cultures programs.

I don't really know what would be considered the "most popular" but there is a large following in the sorority/fraternity group. There are also ENDLESS clubs on campus, in everything you can possibly imagine. In addition to sports teams. So I don't think it matters what is the "most popular"... I think it really matters based on what you are interested in- and I'm sure you can find something that promotes what you are interested in. And if you can't, then you can relatively easily form your own club!

I often go to events run by the Hillel, which is campus programming designed for Jews. The Hillel is based on the same floor of the Student Union as the Christian student center and the Muslim student association, which allows for continuity between groups and the ability to mesh. For people who aren't as religious, there are other programs run by honors societies, the gym (if you're the athletic type) and more - there really is something for everyone. There's not much to do at night, but during the day - especially on Mondays and Wednesdays - campus is booming with different activities. My favorite events are Fall Fest and Spring Fest, which are parties on the quad to welcome the new semester. Sometimes there are wrestling rings, soccer games, concerts, ball pits, and more - and everyone comes to celebrate being back in school!

I dont really hang out much on campus or with friends from school. I live too far away to participate in that aspect of "college life"

There are so many clubs, organizations, frats, soros, and so on. Everyone has days they meet, places to meet, and are easilly accessible for more information, or if youd like to join. It is hard to particpate sometimes b/c it is a commuter school & if you live far away, like i do, its hard to come in on weekends or stay all day for night time events.

there are no parties on campus, and there are no dorms

im not ivolved in any groups yet, because of job reasons.

atheltic events arenot popular, there are dances every now and then, but its still a commuter school, nothing much besides school goes on at QC

We don't have dorms, we are a commuter school but there are on going activities on campus all the time. Free music concerts, we have a museum on campus, numerous clubs, activities on the quad, discussions, roundtables, readings, and parties. The campus is definitely more alive during the Spring semester because the weather is nicer, you can be outside, play games, etc. The weekend on campus is different then during the week, its a lot slower.

There are lot of clubs and activities. I have made great friends. We get along well at school...student to student as well as student - professor relationships. QC is very, very mixed. We have a good ratio of men to women and every ethnicity is represented. In any class you will see Christians along with muslims, and Jews. Every ethnic group is blended in. We have a good physical fitness department with a great pool, track, gym as well as tennis courts. These are available for student use. We have a considerable amount of parking on campus and are convenietly located...accesible by car, buses subway and Long Island Railroad.

each group is equally popular events are pretty popular not athletic ones though not much of a dating scene but there is one i meet my closest friends in class people party on the weekends frats and sororites are important to the people in them but otherwise not that important last weekend i went out to dinner with friends and movies

Off campus activities such as trips for our geology clases, or nutrition classes, sports

There are no dorms...there are some couples i see around. I met my closest friend on the first day of classes in my first semester. she looked confused and lost so i helped her out. I wouldnt be awake at 2 am on a tuesday i have class at 9..i never really hear about parties here. the sororities and frats dont seem real to me here. my sisters in a sorority away at school and its totally different. sororities here are easier to get into then away at schools. Last weekend I was sick so i did nothing. Sat night- movies, dinner with friends etc. off campus i babysit and tutor and go home,

There are over 100 clubs on campus, including sororities and fraternities. Different clubs host different events and we have a strong thearte department and an excellent music school. There is always something to do on campus. The literature departments hosts many excellent writers. The Geology, Biology and Physics dpartments always have someone speaking. As I went into QC with a boyfriend, I don't know much about the dating scene. I met my closest friends in my classes. I'm never awake at 2am on a tuesday morning unless I have a paper do or drank way too much coffee. I don't think QC has any real traditions. Unless you include club day. Last weekend I finished chem homework and than spent time watching movies with my brother. There is a lot to do on a saturday noght that does not involve drinking: going to the movies, going to a concert, a play, etc. Off campus I try and relax by spending time with friends, family and my dog. I like to hike, camp, etc. But again that is what the student makes of it.

they have alot of clubs.
