Review of CUNY Hunter College

from Laurelton, NY

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

This school I believe by far is one of the best schools in the New York State. The academic courses are challenging but they really help you learn. I am currently in the nursing program and I have learned so much. I am truly prepared to go out into the world and i am ready to become a registered nurse. I have so much confidence and I thank Hunter-Bellevue School of Nursing. I recommend any student, who wants to pursue nursing to apply to Hunter's Nursing Program. It is challenging but it will truly pay off in the end.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

The students are so warm and friendly here. I have met so many new people and I have so many new friends. Sometimes I get so excited going to class because of so many funny people I meet who make me laugh everytime I see them. You really can be yourself at Hunter and really find yourself and who you are as an individual. Hunter truly supports individualism but also altruism. Do something, because you want to do it, not to follow anyone else. I really believe in being a leader.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

Hunter is truly very affordable and they try to give so many scholarships out. I truly appreciate being at Hunter because not only is it affordable, but the education is phenomenal. The teachers really challenge you and give you a great education worth more than the money.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

It can be scary, starting college. I want to tell you guys, that you will never be alone. If you choose hunter, they will set you up with a block system, where you can meet people who are interested in the same field as you. I know for me, this is where I met my current friends today. I am a senior now, and I still share the same struggles and joys with these people. They really help you out as so you will help them out too. Anyone who is accepted to Hunter College will enjoy their college experience. Also you have a chance to study abroad which is phenonmenal. I have not study abroad because nursing is such a stable and dedicated career that I had to stay here anad study most of the time, but I have friends who have went to Spain, other countries in Europe and has enjoyed their experience. It is about 6 weeks but it is worth it.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

I also want to say anyone, who is deciding to pursue nursing. Hunter-Bellevue School of Nursing is the way to go. They really challlenge you and provide you with a great education. They make you determined to strive for greatness and they encourage you to be leaders in school and in the community. They really have helped me a lot. Also I do want to say that, dont be discourage when you hear that the nursing program is competitive. It is, but if you are self-determined, you work hard, and you have excelled with even a C in a class, you can still make it. :) Plus, there are so many tutors around to help and so many students, you will have more than enough resources. I have also heard that Hunter has a great education program if any students want to pursue teaching. My friend is becoming a teacher and she graduates a few months before me. She truly loves what field she chose and I am happy for her too. Also the english classes are phenomenal. There are so many courses you can take, with such a variety of cultures and diverse topics, you will never get tired of Hunter College.
