Categories Comments Campus Safety The campus is very safe. Our security really care for the faculty, staff and students
Bang for the buck Vaughn is pretty expensive but that is only because it is a private college.
What to do for fun New York City is 10 minutes away. You are able to hop in a bus or train and experience the big apple.
Food and Dining The food is great at Vaughn. It is well prepared, tasty and affordable. Most kids enjoy the food there and the cafeteria is extremely clean.
Dorm Life I believe the dorm life is really nice. I am not familiar with it because I live at home.
Academic Rigor Vaughn College has a great academic staff that push you to the limit. It is up to you to be successful. They are not that strict but you must complete the work assigned to you.
Tips for prospective students Working hard is the key for success at Vaughn. Pick a field that you love because it will eventually get tough but once you are willing to sacrifice, you rewards would be high.
In three sentences A great college to attend if pursuing a major in an aeronautical field or engineering field. The professors are extremely engaging and teach you all you need to be successful in your chosen field. I absolutely love Vaughn College and anyone looking for an Engineering/ Aeronautical/ Technological school, it is right here

Categories Comments What to do for fun It's NYC and the campus is right by the airport. 'Nuff said.
Food and Dining There is a cafeteria located on campus. In all honesty, this is good when you only have a meal plan due to dorming, or if you need a quick pick-me-up. The food is good but if you want a real culinary experience, you're gonna wanna leave campus and explore all that NYC has to offer.
Dorm Life Perfect opportunity to make new friends and there are some great events and hangout times to gather and relax.
Academic Rigor Some classes can be hard, but they are all worthwhile.
Tips for prospective students Know where you are going to be staying. The dorms can be quite expensive, but also worth the money to know you have a secure place to live.
In three sentences Location is prime. Faculty is helpful. Many opportunities available.

Categories Comments Campus Safety needs work, but the facility is secure. surrounding area needs more security for students.
Clubs and Activities so far. male and female basketball, i heard male baseball is coming. some other clubs to attend...
Great for these types of students aviation buffs, aviation high school grads future pilots future air traffic controllers. future airport managers. future aviation maintenance managers.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus campus has limited parking. very limited.. location is by LaGuardia Airport . Can be very noisy as planes land and take off... you have to be an aviation guru to be here.....don't waist your time if your not...
Bang for the buck experience is set on the eye of the beholder.
What to do for fun features a lot of student activities and sports also.. area of school is awkward.. near LaGuardia Airport and Rikers Island entrance. hop on the Q33 and venture the NYC transportation system.. See how this city never sleeps.
Food and Dining needs ALOT of improvement.. nothing to brag about,, needs to be revamped.. getting used to the hours.
Dorm Life small dorm. looks and feels like military barracks.. roomy, but sharing bathrooms could bring problems.. but overall nice.. pay for everything, IE. Laundry, meals.. pretty pricey... per semester...
Academic Rigor not yet noted, but seems very vigorous.
Tips for prospective students small college compared to others as far as land wise.
In three sentences This college is going places. Very good Students, and faculty to match.

Categories Comments What to do for fun Leave the area and go into the city.
Food and Dining Expensive, but good and quick.
Dorm Life It is not co-ed.
Academic Rigor I just started to take the course and it seems pretty tough if you are not focused.
Tips for prospective students Apply for scholarships early and stay in contact with the administrators to make sure you get what you want.
In three sentences It is a pretty good college, but is a little bit expensive unless you have scholarships and financial aid. The food in 2012 is really good, but also expensive. The classes are good and the instructors seem to have excellent understanding of the curriculum.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Security cameras are every where. If you lose your phone, the cameras will get them for you. Security office is pretty active.
Greek Life Doesn't exist.
Clubs and Activities The School has about 6-8 clubs. Again it is a pretty small schools. However, the faculty wouldn't mind students starting their own clubs.
Great for these types of students This school is great if your passionate about the aviation industry and all it's derivatives. After all it is called Vaughn College of Aeronautics and Technology.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus The school is pretty much basic, but they have this control tower looks exactly like the one in the airport except it's lower. Once you go up to the tower, you get this great view of Laguardia airport and you watch airplanes taking off and landing all day.
Bang for the buck This is a good school, organized, clean, and full of energy. I judge a place by it's bathroom, and this school has very clean bathrooms. You also feel that the professors really do care about you. They want to help you, it's like they really love their job.
What to do for fun The school has a small GYM, and couple of pool tables by the cafeteria. That is pretty much it.
Food and Dining Cafeteria is fairly good. They offer fresh cooked food everyday, as well as cold subs. They also offer a verity of drinks and food. Sushi is a plus.
Dorm Life They have dorms, i do not dorm since i live in the city. Big Parking lot. 40% of students complain about it. 60% are fine with it. Can't provide any further details due to lack of knowledge.
Academic Rigor The school is pretty serious. It is all about achieving. Most of the students and classmates are pretty serious about their careers. Also most of them declare their major by their second semester. Classes are not overcrowded. Each class has a projector, clean White board, comfortable seats, and great lighting system. Professors love to help as well as staff. If you make one step towards them, they make two steps towards you.
Tips for prospective students Take your time reviewing the courses they offer. Before attending, meet the faculty, ask questions, and take a tour around campus. Try as much as possible to decide what major your going for, so time won't be wasted. Once attending the school, get to know everyone, be part of the family, ask as much questions as you like and study hard.
In three sentences Faculty members are beyond helpful. Small class rooms, thus be able to understand a lot better. Accredited by ABET for it's Engineering Courses.
