CUNY City College Reviews

"Great value school - many professors from Ivy Leagues. Demanding program, but I've learned a lot"

"A great return on your educational investment."

"The school is very competitive. This program challenges you to become better prepared professionals for the future."

"Pros --- beautiful campus in New York City. Diverse crew, quality professors. Cons --- living in the city is not very affordable, but that's hardly the fault of the school. Not totally current when it comes to modernizing their library, technology, etc. Also, beware of bed bugs. Don't sit on any cushion-chairs. Stick to the plastic ones."

"I feel that a lot of changes going on to my life. I feel that I am in different environment, new diversity, new faces, new professor, new facility, new routine, strict policy, and new friend. With all this experience I will gain new experience and I feel stronger and better in dealing with education, communication and inter personal relationship with different nationality and culture. I am more flexible with my time, new family and friend."

"I think the Pros in City College is that I am gaining so much knowledge that I can used it the real world. I am more creative and motivated to make my communication skill more augmented and digital. I think the cons are that I am challenge idea of communication that haven't tried it yet."

"Pros: Good accessibility to faculty and support, excellent teachers in classrooms Cons: surrounding area and social life"

"It is a strong program with rigorous coursework. I received great support and advice from my graduate adviser. I think that the program should offer more evening courses for those students who want to have a full-time or part-time job while in school. I feel as if some of the professors are more focused on their own research rather than the actual class that they are teaching."

"City college has offered me a wide variety of classes. It is an excellent school so far that challenges their students. I have been able to work hard and maintain a good relationship with my professors. Professors are always available as well as advisors and always willing to lend a helping hand. I would not change my school for anything."

"The school's graduate program for working adults so far has been a great match and allows one to do the required school work while being full-time. There are not many available financial aid resources with the exception of loans which as an undergraduate one already has many to deal with. Overall, the course materials are at the level of hard graduate work."

"The Pros of the MPA program at City College: Excellent Professors with public and nonprofit management experience; extremely supportive, they go above and beyond to see us succeed, one can qualify for partial scholarship and there are numerous avenues for additional funding; rigorous curricula; great education at a great price; campus located at close proximity to numerous nonprofits and think tanks. The Cons are: fairly new program so alumni network is fairly small, school is not as known as other "big name" institutions."
