Review of CUNY Hunter College

from BROOKLYN, NY

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

No matter what major you are considering, Hunter can accommodate you. From philosophy, to economics, to biology, there are always professors and instructors that honestly care about enriching your learning experience. The science courses and philosophy courses in my opinion are top notch for those who are truly the eternal academic.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

At Hunter, the diversity of the student population is amazing. It opens your eyes to the variety of cultures. There are many international students attending Hunter and everyone is welcoming and very helpful. Clubs are always playing music outside the cafe area and there is always an area to lounge around in school during your breaks.

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

Being born and raised in New York, tuition here is the lowest that I have seen for great education. There are free fitness classes and a free gym and pool as well as computer workshops. Like many other colleges there are huge lectures, which may suit many students' preferences. There are also small classes as well for students who value individualized attention. For those who are from out of town, dorms are extremely affordable with some nutrition and nursing classes in the same building as well as entertainment rooms. There are always tutoring sessions and writing workshops for those who do not have English as their native language. The curricula has a wide reach. From the arts and dance to science and mathematics, Hunter has courses that are intellectually stimulating and challenging as compared to any other top tier college. By holding high standards for their students, Hunter separates those who do not work for their grade from those who truly have learned. The breadth of knowledge offered at Hunter is priceless.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Always speak to counselors whenever you can to ensure you are on the right path to reaching your educational goals. Get an email that is separate from your Hunter email. Make sure to go on hunter.cuny.edu frequently for scholarship info and news on upcoming events. Make sure to take advantage of the free gym service and free group fitness classes located in the basement of the 68th street campus. There is also an internship database that is great as well.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

True academics that are interested in philosophy, pre-med, and biology would fit in well at Hunter. People who are looking for a fun, but challenging environment with lots of amazing resources and amenities would also love Hunter. Located in the heart of the Big Apple, I cannot think of any one who wouldn't love Hunter.
