Overview of CUNY City College

City College of New York has many helpful professors who are willing to go out of their way to help you. You also get many ways to get the help you need through tutoring sessions that are offered by the campus. City College also provides many tranquil areas to sit and study as well as many areas to hang out with friends or make new friends. The people here are really friendly and helpful. Socializing on campus can often take your frown and turn it upside down.

I am not a fan of the city atmosphere. I thought it would be fun but everything is very expensive and I'm broke. Also the students do not associate much outside of their small groups, as most people are just commuting and wanting to get in and out of the school.

I am currently living on campus. It makes life a lot easier rather than commuting for about 2 hours everyday. Many may say that they cannot afford it but I apply for as many scholarships that I find because my financial aid does not even cover my whole tuition. For the rest, I use a loan. To me it is worth the investment because I am constantly on campus 24/7. I am usually in the Architecture building over nights so it is much safer and worth it to be living at the dorms; I can quickly grab something to eat and shower then return to school.

City College offers a wonderful life, learning, and community for all students. From programs to enhance advance student learning to a variety of clubs and sports to join, CCNY has it all. I am apart of CCNY's Gospel Choir and am meeting lots of wonderful and talented people. Joining clubs are a great way to network and make new friends so do not hesitate to join them!

I enjoy attending City College. It is a beautiful campus situated in Harlem on a hill. There are numerous buildings to go to which fit all sorts of personality types. Also, the neighborhood in which City College is located is very rich with culture.
