The college is in a great location in Manhattan. It is one of the higher-level academic institutions in CUNY. Its Zicklin School of Business is one of the top ranked business schools in the USA.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
For the price, you get a good quality education and financial aid is available. Keep track of your paperwork, student ID, applications etc. because the staff is not that accomodating. Even though this is a CUNY college the course work is more demanding. Be prepared to study hard.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
I don't dorm, and never had. BUT if you do it is a great place to do it. You are basically near downtown Manhattan. Lots of action and stuff to do, which could test your academic discipline if you are not careful.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Compared to other areas of Manhattan I would say the food is just OK. There are a few places near the school that have reasonably priced food and offer discounts if you show your ID. Be prepared to pay more for better food obviously.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There are a few bars/lounges and more upscale restaurants in the area. Also a park a couple blocks away.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
For the education you receive I think the price is very reasonable.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Working students (like me, full time).
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
The campus ID system is much more secure than the old show me your badge system. You need to scan in through turnstiles manned by security, and if you don't register for the semester the ID becomes deactivated, so you can't walk into the campus buildings anytime you like. The area is also considerably safe, since it is in a more trendy area.
