Gets too much flack as a CUNY, offers a ton of programs and opportunities for students at a reasonable price in an amazing location. Social scene not bad at all if you know where to look

Amazing school so many fun events to meet people, get free food, play games, and relax. The classrooms have the perfect amount of people not over crowded, and easy to reach professors. Has many wonderful places to study/ do homework / hangout like the library or the student center.

Horrible place

Bad school! You cannot find good business professors in this school and couldn't register classes smoothly all the time. Their advisors and other departments are awful, they are not professional at all. They don't know your situation need permission for class or anything else until you pay the price for them. DON'T study at this school.

If you are looking for a place that sucks the life and creativity out of you then welcome! You've come to the right place. I hope you like exercising because 3/4 elevator will be broken! Looking for the worst professors in town, no worries just pop your head into any of our classrooms. IF YOU WANT A CAREER DONT LOOK HERE

Theyre not helpful in the slightest

The science department here is a joke, majority of the science professors suck and the good ones barely teach there
Overall 1.7
Used to be a much better school. Overall level has lowered considerably because of non selective admittance.
Overall 1.8
Everything about this school feels like it is halfway done but it never goes the full mile. Not to mention, there is absolutely no social life there. It seems like everyone wants to be left alone and has 0 interest in wanting to establish genuine friendships with others.
Overall 1.9
Its a good business school but even that reputation has come down. There are so many issues starting with the no social life and the lack of care the school puts in to maintain things and have events.
Overall 2
The quality of education is good. It's worth coming here if you are already working and need to finish a degree. Otherwise, I suggest going to a college with better resources. I know that the job market is extremely difficult right now, but it is clear that the top NYC employers simply do not respect/recognize the non-accounting programs.

Decent for an education, don't bother with going here if you want to party, enjoy the amenties, or socialize. Club budgets are strictly monitored and go through a bunch of trash processes for reimbursements. Spotty internet in 80% of the school space. Closed game room w/ a tbd re-opening. Very few areas to sit for lunch, people sit on floor.
