Review of CUNY Queens College

from Jackson Heights, NY

Describe your college in three sentences.

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.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Go to Club Day; get involved on campus. Don't be a boring commuter student. If you start becoming active during your freshman year then you'll reap in the rewards sooner. You'll meet great people, have awesome connections and you'll know what you want to do in life earlier than those that just come to class and go home. Work hard and have fun while doing it. Most importantly, enjoy the ride!

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

The classes are hard; but hey it's college! The professors make the material much more interesting.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

I can't complain because I don't dorm. Dorms tend to have occasional parties.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

Lots of variety. Quesadillas are the best. Unfortunately, food is a tad expensive for a college student budget.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

QC has a big Quad. Lots of events take place here, most include DJs (depending on the weather). We also have a gym, pool, and soccer/track field.

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

Tuition is affordable and they offer work study. No complaints from me!

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

QC used to be a juvenile detention center. You can still see a barred cell by one of the buildings.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

Too many to talk about and they're all so diverse!

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

There's about 5 sororities (all super friendly and against hazing) and 6 fraternities. All of them are extremely diverse but they're also respectable (and they know how to throw a good party or two!)
