I am true fan of CUNY schools. I think they deliver a fantastic education. I graduated Brooklyn college with a degree in chemistry and now attend Queens college. I find the schools to have qualified professors, interesting campus life and quality education. Highly recommend.

This is such a great college and has so many opportunities scholarships and fun clubs to join and making new friends. The food might be better but it is such a great college and the professors are very nice and a beautiful campus with lots of green during the warm weather.

do not go for stem, FNES, or any health profession major. It is good for majors in arts and education.

Poorly organized. Impossible to talk to anyone in your department. No one answers the phone. It can take weeks to track anyone down via phone and email. Uncaring atmosphere. Some truly terrible teachers.

It's like once covid hit, everyone just stopped doing their jobs. As an incoming freshman, I had zero help with registering for classes, financial aid, you name it. I've emailed countless faculty trying to seek help and very few vaguely replied. Tried dorming, worst decision I've ever made. It's awful here. You really get what you pay for.

I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS SCHOOL TO ANY STUDENT IF YOU NEED HELP IN ACADEMIC. YOU CAN DO BETTER WITH ANY OTHER SCHOOL! WORSE DECISION EVER TO GET INTO THIS SCHOOL.

The compsci dept. was less than ok. Received minimal guidance. Professors were often unavailable to help and explain concepts. Did not feel so safe on campus . It was also difficult to transfer credits . I would recommend exploring your options before attending .

This college needs a lot of improvement, from maintaining the bathrooms, classrooms, and buildings in general. Also, I can never get into contact with many offices when problems arise with my scheduling or finances. I will email 2-3 people from one department or office and receive no response.
