Review of CUNY Hunter College

from Brentwood, NY

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

The professors here at Hunter are very knowledgeable and are also very diverse. Most of the professors that I have had so far are very fair and are also very helpful. Just make sure you read your syllabus before hand so that you are never behind, because once you are behind it's hard to catch up. There is a lot to learn at Hunter, including different cultures and ethnicities.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

I enjoy this school because it is in New York City. You have access to many different types of libraries, museums and other places of learning. It is also easy to get around, thanks to the MTA Subway. The school is also a very interesting place to be in because most of the classes are located in four buildings connected by bridges, and it's cool to look out and see the city from a bird's eye view. Also you will meet a number of very diverse people.

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

Hunter is a part of the City University of New York, which is dedicated to providing an inexpensive yet quality education for students. For instate students the tuition is around $4,600 and $13,000 for out of state, which is still less than many other public universities.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Make sure, if you are in high school, that you do well on SAT's and keep your GPA up. Hunter is one of the harder CUNY schools to get into. Also if you are a NY state student, you should aim to do well on your Regents. For transfers, make sure your GPA is at or above a 3.0, just to be on the safe side. Also, get involved in extra-curricular activities and community service, it shows that you like to get involved. Lastly, if you want to avoid taking a language in college, make sure you take at least four years in high school. This will take some stress off your back when dealing with general education requirements, unless, of course, you want to take another language.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

This school is great for anyone that wants to attend school in a large city setting. If you work also, or need time for other parts of your life, this is also a good school for you, as many Hunter students work and attend school part time. This school is great for anyone who wants to be in a diverse setting and meet many different types of people.
