REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingQueens definitely does not get the rep for being an amazing school because it is part of the CUNY system... but believe me, you will not be disappointed in the quality of education here. Being a second generation Queens College student, I've only completed one semester but the rigor of the classes I took definitely showed the quality of Queens. Some classes are obviously easier than others, but the quality of material that the teachers present are definitely up to par even with other top Ivy schools. Many of the teachers have PhDs or are in the process of getting them, so the teachers are very knowledgeable.
Julie from Garden City, NY
CUNY Queens College is a diverse school with incredible teaching staff. The grounds are well-kept, the view of Manhattan is breathtaking, and resources available to students are abundant. Queens College is a place where students learn both in and out of the classroom, and grow into better people.
Em from Long Island, NY
Queens seems to offer many different classes, all in different buildings depending on what kind of class it is. The fact that it's been more diffcult to get into CUNY schools the past few years shows how many people are applying, and how many are qualified and accepted to attend. Being close to the city, and even in Queens, it can be distracting with all of the life around you, but it'll add to the experience.
Krysta from Warwick, NY
This school offers great classes and great teachers. Plenty of school clubs, activities and events on campus. Best of all this campus a extremely spacious and has a great scenic view of Manhattan.
Evelyne from Jamaica, NY
Cuny Queens College is an affordable and accommodating college. It has a wide range of majors that you can choose from and intelligent teachers that can guide you. With the knowledge acquired in queens college, you will definitely excel in whatever career path you put your mind to.
Michaela from New York, NY
It is a small school that is focused on its students. The campus is beautiful and so are the buildings and departments. There is an array of classes and majors to choose from yet each individually challenging.
Michelle from Jamaica, NY
This school has an amazing campus, amazing programs, and amazing professors. I have attended many colleges in New York but have never felt more comfortable than here at Queens College.
Kemaul from South Richmond Hill, NY
Queens College offers not only an amazing variety of academics, but a beautiful campus. The diversity is vast and well acknowledged by many. Professors here are very understanding and easy to talk to.
Ria from Hollis, NY
I love Queens College. The atmosphere is so friendly and there's so much diversity. Most of the professors are really interesting and they know what they're doing.
Jessica from Jackson Heights, NY
Having already completed my Associates Degree at a local Community College, I'm attending Queens College for my BA and eventually my MLS. The commute into Queens from Long Island is 100% worth it for the attentive and helpful professors that are always willing to go the next step for their students in the classes they teach. I'm looking forward to returning there this Fall and having the opportunity to expand on my knowledge of literature and to better my writing skills.
