Best CUNY for Undergraduate Writing?

<p>I'm looking to apply to an Undergraduate English - Creative Writing program within NYC. I couldn't afford NYU if my life depended on it, so I'm checkin' out some CUNY's.</p>

<p>Between these three, I'm trying to make a choice...</p>

<p>-CUNY Brooklyn College</p>

<p>-CUNY Hunter College</p>

<p>-CUNY City College</p>

<p>I'll explain a bit about my feelings concerning each school too.</p>

<p>Brooklyn - Beautiful campus, great reputation for writing, and I even have connections into their department. But it's in kind of a muggy area of Brooklyn and I prefer the liveliness of Manhattan.</p>

<p>Hunter College - I'm going to need housing, and I'm worried Hunter won't help me there if I don't make a decision early on. I also know that they're a rather large campus, and I'd like to be able to at least speak to my professors.</p>

<p>City College - I honestly love love love this school. It's gorgeous, the surrounding area is pretty, it's in Manhattan but it's not too close to Midtown. My only problem - I'm a skinny white kid and I don't want to get too caught up in things while living in Harlem. Opinions?</p>

<p>If you can give me further info on each school, I'd be grateful. But most of all, just PLEASE tell me which one has the strongest Undergraduate English/Writing?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>what about queens? i have a friend there majoring in english who loves it. then again, i had a friend at hunter who majored in creative writing and also had a really good experience. i’d go with hunter of your 3. are you applying to macaulay honors?</p>

<p>No, i don’t think that I am :/</p>

<p>If you apply via Macaulay Honors to Hunter, they will include housing.</p>
