City College is meant to help you out in every way possible. The professors are great; they will help you improve and usually available office hours or are available through email. The advisors are of great help as well. They speak to you one-on-one about the required classes and they make sure you are taking a good amount of classes/ credits each semester in order to keep yourself at a good pace.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I am currently living on campus. It makes life a lot easier rather than commuting for about 2 hours everyday. Many may say that they cannot afford it but I apply for as many scholarships that I find because my financial aid does not even cover my whole tuition. For the rest, I use a loan. To me it is worth the investment because I am constantly on campus 24/7. I am usually in the Architecture building over nights so it is much safer and worth it to be living at the dorms; I can quickly grab something to eat and shower then return to school.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
As a CUNY, City College is much cheaper than other colleges, but many still cannot afford it. I know many people that receive a lot of financial aid and are able to go to school for very little money if not for free. They also have different loans that one can use.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Even if you are not sure of what major you want to choose, you can start off by taking classes that almost every major is required to take. As well as free electives. After 2 semesters, I am sure that you will find out what major you are really interested in. If you are already positive of your major, everything is much easier. You will be able to take all the classes you need without wasting any time or money.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
There are no specific types of students that great for this school because there is such a diversity. It is one of the most diverse colleges in the city. There are so many different people that it is easy to make a lot of friends.
