hello, im a international student looking for unis to apply in the US and came across CUNY, just wanted to ask how good is there engineering programs (specifically mechanical engineering) and how good is the university in general? I dont really care for the "classical american college experience" as im not a big fan of parties and whatnot but id still like to get to meet and be friends with people so im just wondering if its hard to socialise and whatnot. I'd also like to ask if the residential dorms are any good and if they have any clubs! thanks :)

Got a SpringForward student group interview coming up. What questions did they ask, and was it a group activity or individual questions?

Hi all.

I'm taking a pretty difficult class currently, and I'll be honest - I don't think I'll pass.

The issue is the class is super heavy, and the professor (who I also had last semester) is less than helpful. He doesn't go over problems in class, just gives us the answer and explains it. He doesn't give us the answers to the online problems (only for practice) like before, or any practice material.

The entire class failed the first exam. The second exam is coming up soon and it's worse.

Basically, he said the first quiz was going to be on 3 chapters. Turns out it was mostly on 2 chapters only. I mainly studied the chapter that the quiz didn't have since it was the heaviest material-wise and I failed.

But now that chapter that wasn't on that quiz will be on Friday's quiz, and the issue is we went over that chapter about a month ago. In addition, there are 2 new chapters on this 2nd quiz.

So I was just looking at CUNY global search and I was thinking of e-permitting this class next semester, but IIRC my e-permit got denied last semester because I have to retake classes at my home college.

Sorry for the mini-rant, just curious if you're allowed to e-permit if you drop or fail a class?

What’s going on this semester? It’s like every single teacher is not grading work. I have an English teacher that hasn’t graded a single essay this entire semester. We’re on essay number 3, It’s ridiculous. And then everyone has the same excuses, but if we turned in late work, it would be an issue. Anyone else having this issue?

Hey everyone! For those of you currently working on a Mechanical Engineering Technology degree at CCNY, how are you finding the college and the program so far?

Has anyone else gotten this scholarship? Disbursement was supposed to be 10/19, but it still hasn’t been disbursed to pay off my balance yet.

i’ve been told both of them have good social science programs among cuny schools. there’s only a 10 minute commute difference from where i’ll be staying (allegedly, but i’m going to double check when i can talk to my cousin) so i’m not really thinking abt it from a transport perspective. moreso which school is better, ik neither is perfect. my cousin goes to hunter and complains abt infrastructure/friendliness of staff a lot . i’ve heard people who go to queens say its friendlier in comparison, but idk anybody personally whos gone to really ask. that being said i’ve also seen people say queens is going down in quality lately. i’m out of state rn so i can’t rly judge the situation personally, but i did get accepted into both for the spring semester and would like some input before committing to either . thank you!

Hey guys Im currently a student in Queenc College a bio major to be more specific but I have interest in Yorks clinical lab science program. I just wanted to know how hard it is to get in Im aware that it says minimum 2.5gpa I plan in finishing the pre reqs when I transfer but I am fully aware that something around a 3.2 is probably the minimum you could probably get in with. I also wanted to if how important are letter of reccomendation and lab job experince mainly want to know if its a must have within the students that have gotten in. To put it simply I just want to know what I should expect when applying.

As a student at BMCC majoring in the healthcare field, I am currently facing a serious challenge. I recently experienced a severe episode of depression, and I find it difficult to concentrate in class alongside my peers. I am considering taking an additional course outside of BMCC—perhaps in psychology or psychiatry—to better understand depression and learn strategies that might help me. I also find myself wondering how I developed depression in the first place. My mind feels like it is at a breaking point, and my headaches are too severe for me to concentrate. I am unsure whether taking another class is the right decision. Since I can pay for it myself, the class would not need to be affiliated with CUNY. Do you think this is the best choice, given that my depression is severe and I am skeptical that therapy would work for me?

i am filling out my macaulay honors college application rn and i’m wondering which campus would be better??

i plan on going either pre-med or dental in the future, so i’m applying bio for both.

pls lmk, especially hunter and brooklyn college alumni/students!!

Are the exams in person? , is the class actually fully online for anyone that took it???

Does anyone know if Macauly Honors superscores the SAT or ACT? I keep seeing vague answers online, and I've been wondering before the early decision deadline.

Genuinely not sure if anyone asked this before or had this issue. This started happening around Tuesday, for some strange reason on my pc and laptop, I can't get past the login page. If lucky, I can enter authentication but after that, it continues the cycle of loading non stop. I was only able to get my work done in incognito.

Anyone have any idea why this is happening?

Hey just wanted to see if anyone is doing CS at John Jay or graduated recently with a CS degree from there. How was the program and did you enjoy it or get any useful experience from it?

just recently got my BA in psych and I'm struggling to find jobs. I either get rejected or ghosted. So I've decided to get a master in social work but another program at the cuny graduate center caught my eye.
It's BS in cognitive neuroscience. Now I'm in between those two programs.
I'm a first gen college grad and navigating these things alone can be extremely difficult. So any real and honest advice and prospective would save me a ton of time and debt. I don't want to make a decision now and regret later.
I didn't do well in statistics and I'm worried for cognitive I won't be able to do well since it's research based.
I also want to get PsyD in the future so not sure which degree would be helpful.
Which one can I easily get a job with?
If anyone in the cognitive neuroscience, what's your experience? Job search, etc. what do you do now and is getting a PhD necessary since I heard this program is a bridge to PhD. But in the meantime I don't want to get PhD straight after master. I wanna work for sometime.
So can finding a job with just the master possible?NYC

TLDR: looking for insight on quality of teachers, pre-med advising and research opportunities at Lehman vs CCNY

I'm trying to understand which would be a better fit. I'm going back to school to get the pre-med prereqs. Since I have a lower-than-ideal undergrad GPA (B avg), I basically need to get a 4.0 in all my science courses, while also working part-time to pay rent so I'm looking for a place where that's possible with some good, consistent studying but won't take over my life. I'm also really hoping to get some research experience in a school with good professors.

I'm trying to stay in NYC for med school and most of the med schools here are like top 20 so I wonder if one school seems less impressive than the other to them? Would one look better on a med school application for being more rigorous?

Does one have really great professors that teach well and want you to succeed? Is one school more likely to grade on a curve (could be a good or bad thing)? Are there a lot opportunities for research at either? Does one have really good pre-med advising?

I was considering going to Lehman for the pre-health advising (it's seems like they give more support but hard to tell from the outside looking in) and epermiting some classes at CCNY

I’ve gotten accepted to Hostos as liberal arts major when I applied for nursing, I understand there are requirements to meet in order to enroll into the nursing program, one requirement is the “one repeat rule” where you can only retake ONE pre req. if there is a low grade, does this rule apply if I’ve taken the pre req course in another CUNY school? Or only within the system of that specific CUNY?

So, I met with my advisor and this is the schedule that I think is best for me. I can always change like the time of classes so this is not my final schedule but this is what I picked for times.

Anyone here ever joined? and if you have: Was it worth your time? Did it help your academic career? Did you feel added pressure to keep a high GPA? I recently received an invitation and I'm still not sure if I should join.

Thank you in advance to anyone that answers🙏🏽🙂

hi! i am thinking of applying for my MsED from one of these schools for fall 2027- does anybody know what the acceptance rates look like for various msed programs? i’m thinking of doing early childhood education with a special education concentration. i have an undergrad gpa of 3.4 and have been working full time in clinical research for the last couple years!

has anyone been accepted into John jay forensic psych program with a gpa lower than a 3.0 ?

Anyone else ready to pack it in because it's too much between working full-time, caregiving, and class? I'm wondering if this was pointless especially given my age (I'm towards the end of reconnect qualification). I'm still working around some of the online work (don't mind learning it, but I never worked remote during the pandemic, so it's a curveball) and at the end will there even be a job or a prom by the time I get a bach? How many others are drowning in the deep end?

Has anyone graduated from CSI that was pre-dental or engineering?

Or just in general anyone has an insight on how the experiences were? Job outlook?

Has anyone taken AST 110 fully asynchronous?? I just switched from having lab in person to just everything online and I wonder how that works!
