This one star is for being on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, having dorms somewhat nearby, and…read morethe part-time job I started as a transfer student as a nanny. If it weren't for the family I worked for, I probably would've transferred out of Marymount and moved out of the city. Now, for the review of Marymount itself as a "college institution": UM NO. Faculty, administration and students. Programs, activities and clubs. NO to it all. I feel like all "normal" kids that just came here for the city all stick together, which was nice, but that's not what college is about. You are supposed to want to mingle with other people, but here, YOU DO NOT. Another thing that really stinks about Marymount is once you graduate (if you do because the retention rate is only ~66%), all your friends move away from the city. I get that the city in itself has a high turnover rate but these people that you get close to throughout college all vanish. It's really sad. Classes: A complete joke. Pretty sure I had a magician/wizard person as an Intro to Comm professor. Or it was a student taking the class. I think I've tried to block it out. The electives I took were the most bizarre things in the world. Something about menstruation to environmental science where our professor would want us to teach the class. Thumbs up to Dan Diggles for Intro to Improv though, really brought on my inner dramatics and I enjoyed stepping out of my comfort zone in that class. The cost. One word: WHY. Every month when those loans come out of my account, I think WHY DID I CHOOSE MARYMOUNT? Then I remember, they actually took all my transfer credits which is another pro. You have to fight it though, because you have to fight for everything. They will tell you you are not on track to graduate, even though you are, just to get more tuition money. Yes, this happened to me. I was only one credit short and there was surprisingly a one credit class offered in January, so I took that. No need to pay for three credits because that'll take about two years to pay off. So all in all, 2 years after graduation, whenever I hear the word "Marymount", I can't help but cringe.

I am currently attending LaGuardia Community College as a Biology Major and for my experience it is…read morean awesome kollege. My only hope is that this schools 'reputation' is not ruined by students who cannot perform well enough because the information I receive is especially essential to academics. The science department is great, though I lack the fortitude to compare other science departments of other colleges because of the lack of experience but I accept the challenges of my degree pathway curriculum, that is near the best aspect! Professors know plenty so they can be itchy if they want, but by witness they are fair and have life experience that justifies their standard; "hey recognize I have graduated from a University, or I have obtained a Doctorate, Masters, traveled and/or being involved in government, recognize and know you also can achieve and accomplish and we only want to maintain the integrity because true competition is out there, for sakes, we lived it!". Humility is best, and this school is not discriminative, they are not far liberal either but in respect they are obviously open and diverse, this is a COMMUNITY College. Yass. Go Queens, Go L.I. but you must apply yourself. Speaking for the Sciences you should be able to proceed with other schools and perform with their best. I must attend tutoring but this is due to a very congested daily schedule I handle and I absolutely enjoy it all, even to be challenged which is the best part. Maybe this is a Queens thing, maybe it is a science thing but overall their is no bias but incorrect is incorrect and correct is correct. I have worries that sure external from LaGCC people will not respect because they do not know but I am confident I am knowledgeable to meet other requirements of academic efficiency. Even if I do not pass and I fail, I did not learn nothing, I simply will attempt again, and continue. Apologies towards those whom have faced discrimination and corruption but personally all is well for I. Bright-eyed and bushytailed, I expect to update in about 5-6 months but yeah so far, so fair. LaGuardia science circuit is awesome and inspires my decision in Biology. I am not concerned about the (bulk) food distribution, or.. yeah, but yes =]. People in the community diss LaGuardia Community College and I am dumbfounded on most occasions but possibly I lack experience. 12weeks is a college standard semester and they just want you to be well on. Also yall (students), stop wrecking them restroom stalls (just itching and it may not be all that bad or some of youz be in a 'serious situation' blowing it up but hmph it really all that bad), but some yall be with the sabotage. hah.

**If you're considering an aviation program where advisors are supportive, enrollment is fair, and…read moreyou're not made to feel like a second-class student just because you're not a veteran--**then Vaughn College may not be the place for you. I was promised a 24-month path to graduation, but now I'm being forced into a sixth semester for just one class--a class I couldn't register for because priority was given to veterans and HEOP students. This means paying for an entire extra semester for a single course. This isn't just an unfortunate exception--this reflects a pattern of poor management and planning. Vaughn regularly over-enrolls students without ensuring there are enough sections or professors. And instead of offering solutions, they expect you to simply pay more. They don't seem to care about your financial situation as long as you keep paying tuition. In my experience, students are left to figure it out on their own, delayed in their graduation, and financially drained. I strongly urge anyone considering Vaughn to do your research. Talk to current students, ask tough questions, and think twice before committing to a school that takes pride in its image, but leaves students hanging when it counts the most.

Unlike in college where your grades are based on homework and papers, in most classes in law school, your grade is determined by one exam. In addition, the professors won't hold your hands. You're in a cavernous lecture room with 100+ other students. After fucking up on the LEDP final exam during the fall semester of my 1L year, I was on academic probation. With the help of Allie Robbins, who's an amazing woman, I fought my way out of it. In the fall of my 2L year, I had a class with Ruthann Robson, a dingbat who can't teach. The only reason she has a job is because she's in a relationship with another faculty member (whom I won't name). In the spring of my 2L year, I took a mediation class with a witch named Beryl Blaustone. At first glance, she seemed like a sweet old lady. However, after a month, I saw her true colors. In the spring semester of my 3L year, I took a mandatory course called Core Doctrine. The course allegedly prepares you for the bar exam. At the time I took it, it was taught by shysters known as Pieper bar review. I didn't learn jack shit in that class. All they did was regurgitate rules and stupid mnemonics. I got a C in that class. Fortunately, the Piepers no longer teach Core Doctrine. The NY bar exam was a doozy. I got massacred during my first two attempts (February 2014, July 2014). I was so traumatized that I nearly gave up on becoming a lawyer. Long story short, after a few life-changing events, I eventually got back on my feet and passed on my third attempt (July 2017). And contrary to popular belief, you don't need to spend thousands of dollars on a bar prep course to pass the bar. I took Barbri in February 2014 and July 2014. In July 2017, I self-studied (if you want specific tips on how to tackle the bar, send me a private message). At CUNY, all of the students look out for each other, regardless of their skin color, religion, or sexual orientation. Back when I attended CUNY, I was in a clique. We studied together and went bar hopping during our rare free time. I miss those days. There are many people at CUNY who have your best interests at heart- Allie, Cheryl Howard, Victor Goode, Shirley Lung, and Rebecca Bratspies. Unfortunately, a few bad apples spoil the bunch. There are quite a few professors who either can't teach or get sadistic pleasure from handing out bad grades. And speaking of, if your GPA is less than a 2.5 then welcome to academic probation. The GPA requirement is intentionally set high so people who the school feels won't pass the bar are weeded out. Like a few other people said, the building is nice and immaculate. The neighborhood is somewhat desolate, though only one stop on the E and M lines away from Manhattan. There are a few decent dining options in the nearby Citibank building (DO NOT eat at the American Hero deli that's across the street from CUNY). CUNY is a school that emphasizes social justice. If you want to become a lawyer who defends the oppressed then CUNY is a halfway decent option. If you just want to make money, consider a career other than practicing law. Speaking from experience, it's not worth the stress.

Some were amazing, some were terrible. Among the faculty who I think were gems, and are still listed in the school's website directory: Pinedo (Film & Media), Gaboury (Women & Gender Studies), Oza (W&GS), Thomas (English), Nims (English). I also had the experience of being president of the Queer Student Union's Gay Men's Alliance. I found the bureaucracy of the school administration and budget process to be frustrating and sometimes inscrutable. We advocated for and got very little traction on issues like gender neutral bathrooms and sensitivity training for campus security because the administration would on the one hand act very liberal and understanding, but on the other would remain stubbornly right lipped about taking any definitive actions. I'm sure the building has been updated (I hope so anyway), but in my time the club rooms in the Thomas Hunter Building were drafty and infested with mice and other pests. The whole 'city as campus' thing is cool, provided you can afford it.

CCNY is a very corrupt college. Save your money, go to a better engineering college. undergraduate engineering programs are disorganized, unstable, & deeply discouraging. Core required courses are often only offered once a year, scheduled at the same time, or canceled without notice, making it nearly impossible to graduate on time. Expect delays and plan to stay at least 6+ years. advising system is just as bad. Advisors are uninterested, unhelpful, and sometimes give completely wrong advice. I was told to take courses that were later removed from the curriculum, forcing me to repeat classes I never should've had to retake. Professors & advisors often seem unreasonable and disconnected from students, they don't listen, and they don't care. Professors are another major issue. Many are unapproachable, inflexible, and play blatant favorites. If you're their favorite, you might pass regardless of performance. If they don't like you, even if you're doing well, you risk being failed. Your success here depends more on being liked than on merit & that destroys trust in the system. Another huge barrier: you can't enroll for next semester's classes unless you get special permission (an advising hold must be lifted). But by the time you get permission, all classes are already full. So you'll spend day refreshing registration pages and hoping a seat opens up. It's unfair and creates yet another structural disadvantage for students who don't jump through the hoops fast enough. I came here believing I could become an engineer. Instead, I left with imposter syndrome and a heavy amount of mental stress. When I tried to suggest improvements or offer feedback, I was met with hostility, not support. This environment doesn't just discourage growth, it punishes initiative and protects dysfunction. CCNY will give you anxiety, nightmares, and PTSD. If you're an engineering student, save yourself the pain. Make a sacrifice to study engineering at a better school: SUNY Buffalo, SUNY Maritime, or Farmingdale State are all much better options
