    As a current student, I feel it's important to share some concerns about the way this school treats…read moreits students. Recently, we received an email stating that students are not permitted to enter classrooms before the scheduled class time so that instructors can "prepare the learning environment." However, in reality, many professors arrive exactly at the start time or even after class is supposed to begin. Meanwhile, students are expected to stand in hallways or find somewhere else to go even when we arrive early after work to study. The only alternative spaces are the library or cafeteria, both of which have very limited seating. It feels unreasonable to pay out of pocket for an education and not even be allowed to sit in an empty classroom while waiting. We then received another email about elevator use, which is understandable for accessibility reasons. However, the message stated that misuse could result in parent/guardian contact. This is a school of adults, and many of us are parents ourselves. Including language like that clearly shows how little the administration thinks of its students and reinforces the feeling that we are treated like children rather than responsible adults paying for a professional education. Another major concern is the lack of respect and support from some faculty members. For example, Professor Jayne Kier is extremely unapproachable. Students feel uncomfortable asking questions because responses are often sarcastic, dismissive, or met with long, intimidating stares. There is little guidance provided, yet students are made to feel as though they are wrong for seeking help. This creates a stressful and discouraging learning environment. Lastly, it often feels like students cannot safely voice concerns. When issues are brought up to administration, they are dismissed as complaints rather than taken seriously even though many of us are committed, adult learners who care deeply about our education and future careers. It is incredibly disappointing to be treated this way as paying adult students. We invest our time, energy, and money into this program, yet we are treated as if we are receiving a free service and should simply accept it without question. The tone and treatment are not only disrespectful, they are humiliating.

    SPSON like many school has its up and down. Don't count it out. I have been accepted at two…read moreProminent colleges and decided to try SP and I do not regret this decision. I must say it was not always smooth sailing, but no place is perfect. My professors held me accountable for doing my part, they are smart, dedicated and approachable. I have put in the work that my professors set out for me, as every student should, and accomplished what I set out to do. See for yourself, and remember this is a school that is preparing you to have a professional career, think critically and make wise choices In life, if this is not your goal then, this is not the school for you. Nursing is a vocation, it's not a walk in the park. With self discipline, hard work and perseverance you can have your degree at St. Paul's School of Nursing In several months.

It was actually quite easy. Most things were closed since the school officially didn't open yet, but we hit the bookstore and of course his Third Avenue North residence hall.

School has since started, and we will see how things turn out...Good luck to all of the incoming Freshman!

    Having earned my graduate degrees at NYU, perhaps I am a bit biased in its favor. But, I have…read morecorroboration, TimesHigherEducation.com just ranked NYU in its top 25 universities in the world. Take a look at the other top 24 -- NYU is in elite company for academic excellence. It was just that stature that drew me to get my degrees there in the first place. Washington Square is a wonderful, safe, progressive community. It was surrounded by mom & pop eating spots that students could afford and the best vegetarian/vegan food anywhere. My classes were small enough for me to get personalized attention. My graduate advisor, Lloyd Barenblatt, was a star in our field and a caring, brilliant advisor from whom I took continuous inspiration. I will always be indebted to him for seeing my potential as a researcher and scholar. Whenever I needed a break, I could head uptown to all the glorious offerings that Manhattan is famous for. Or, I could spend the day in Bobst Library, to this day, the finest collection of written materials in the United States. Nearby are the historic buildings of lower Manhattan, along with the 9/11 Memorial complex. Just above legendary Greenwich Village which encompasses the NYU campus, sits vibrant new Hudson Yards. You can walk to a panoply of ethnic conclaves from elegant Washington Square. Music, art, fashion, education -- no city on earth offers more than New York, and NYU puts that at the students' disposal, around the clock. Is NYU expensive, is the area limited in terms of housing, yes. But, so are Harvard, Yale, and Stanford in whose company NYU counts itself as a superlative academic bastion of learning. However, affordable housing is just across the river in East Orange, NJ, which is where I spent my first two years. Also, Atlantic Highlands, NJ is just a water-shuttle of about 40 minutes away. I lived there too and finally was awarded housing at 110 Bleecker, with an 18th floor apartment overlooking lower Manhattan. NYU takes care of its graduate students. If I had anywhere to choose for my education, all over again, NYU would be my only choice. Thank you, New York University for all you have done for me.

    Ok, so this review is basically just based on the New building itself. I don't go to school here,…read moreand I never will- nothing against this school, I'm just over school. The New building is architecturally beautiful. From the intricate, angled designs of the window-fueled exterior, to the multicolored, locker-adorned insides. The building is a LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) gold-rated building. Some of the qualifications include an innovative lighting design, a rain catching green roof, and strategically placed sensors that track temperature and adjust accordingly. This building is sure to inspire anyone who comes here; it's almost nice enough to keep me from being truant, if I were to go to school here...

After admitting students from China, they became suspicious of them and refused to trust them. They separated the Chinese students from students of other nationalities and confined only the Chinese students in a classroom for questioning. They acted like prison guards. After that, they disregarded school policy and changed the rules arbitrarily. They were petty tyrants in a small, enclosed space. But times have changed. Although Shelly Fox has retired and Joff has moved on to teach at the Rhode Island School of Design, I will never forget the harm and humiliation they inflicted on me.

    Campus is smaller than I expected, but it's already great compared to most colleges in New York…read morethat don't have campuses at all. Butler Library and Avery Architectural Fine Arts Library have beautiful interiors that are ideal look for a historic college library, as well as the modern style of Engineering Library. Among them, I like Lehman Social Sciences Library the most, though I rarely take SIPA courses, there is a microwave on the sixth floor of the building to heat meals, and small self-study rooms, which is very suitable for spending a whole day reviewing for exams and writing the thesis. One of the great things about the Columbia Library is that you can find almost every kind of study space here. Study on the second-floor mezzanine, study in the quaint rooms with low light, study in the small rooms like telephone booths, study on the edge of the numerous bookshelves... They have desks in almost every corner of the library, and you can always find a study atmosphere that attracts you.

Dorms look very ugly and old. Anyways, you can see stars at night when you look up on a normal night without any storm. Lots of nice greenery all around you like you're not in New York City. There's also a lot of fireflies in the bushes and grass at night. The food in the kitchen is really good. Their lunch trays are navy when I used to go there and is big enough to hold a lot of food. I came here for a business camp back when I was in high school and their facilities were really spacious to accommodate us.

    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.
