<p>What do you think about CUNY?</p>
<p>How about job after graduation?</p>
<p>One of my friends told me that CUNY is a kind of CC, right?</p>
<p>CUNY honors college is a great deal. Otherwise... well, you can do worse. Of course it really depends on which campus.</p>
<p>How is Queens College? It's a part of CUNY!</p>
<p>CUNY includes many colleges, some of which are really first rate in terms of faculty and academic tradition, notably College of the City of New York, Brooklyn College and Queens Collge. CUNY encompasses a lot more than that, and I think there are two year as well as four year collegs in the system. Its reputation varies and probably did suffer during teh open enrollment phase of its history. Colleges within CUNY like CCNY, Brooklyn, Queens, and Hunter have traditionally been primte destinations of first-generation college students and children of immigrants; overall they have an amazing list of alums--Colin Powell of CCNY is one of hundreds.</p>
<p>Because of its size and extremely varied campuses with varying admission standards, it is hard to generalize about CUNY. It is true that CUNY overall does not have the cachet of a famous private or flagship state university, but for NYC residents the financial benefits of attending one of the top colleges of CUNY might well be worth it. CUNY also has a strong graduate program in a number of fields. Definitely not a community college in the conventional sense of the term.</p>
<p>CUNY should be avoided.</p>
<p>Thanks.
Does CUNY at baruch have a good economics or business in undergraduate?
I mean department.</p>
<p>Queens College is actually a very good school. Some programs have excellent faculty, especially music, linguistics and education. It is, however, a commuter school.</p>
<p>CUNY[/url</a>], as others have mentioned, is a system of colleges that ranges from community colleges to a [url=<a href="http://www.gc.cuny.edu/press_information/current_releases/2007/january/Best_Faculty.htm">http://www.gc.cuny.edu/press_information/current_releases/2007/january/Best_Faculty.htm</a>] nationally renowned graduate center. Notable CUNY alumni include 12 Nobel Laureates, Colin Powell, Barbara Boxer, Jerry Seinfeld and others.</p>
<p>The tennis coach at the Queens College would really like to recruit me. Everything will be paid (rent including), but I don't know. Should I concord to the "deal"? I'm an international, though.</p>
<p>It depends on what your options are. In no way would I choose Queens over a place like NYU for example.</p>
<p>Go for it. Except for mathematics at Courant, Queens College offers everything NYU does at a fraction of the cost.</p>
<p>An international student will have a relatively hard time getting financial aid at many schools. If he/she has a chance to get a free ride at one of the top CUNY colleges (which surprises me) it sounds like a good deal for the international though not for the taxpayers of NYC and for students who are NYC residents and would like the chance to attend.</p>
<p>Dont worry about the name. As an NYC resident, I feel is it my duty to take advantage of the faculty, research programs, and the cost that CCNY has to offer. You can always go to a "name brand" university for graduate school.</p>
<p>but is Queens college also a kind of CC, right?</p>
<p>Do you want a business job in the city? Do you live in NY State? Go to Baruch. They get tons of job offers, and its really cheap, if you are instate. </p>
<p>CUNY honors also is great.</p>
<p>Yeh, but how about out of state?
Actually, I am out of state.</p>
<p>Baruch is a good school for accounting. If you want to become a CPA, the school will provide you with an excellent preparation, and there are many jobs and alumni in the NYC area for Baruch graduates. The school is easy to get in, but they weed out weak students. The school is just a nondescript building in downtown NYC, and kids in NYC tend to look down on CUNY schools. If you don't care about that it's a good deal.
OOS tuition will be higher, but it will still be cheap.</p>
<p>Gun, Not sure what you mean by CC, but just in case Queens College is not a Community College. It is a unit of CUNY where you can get undergraduate or graduate degrees (BA/BS and MA/MS/CAS).</p>
<p>The OP is using terminology that does not really fit American usage (think OP is self-described as an international). A community college (CC) is a two year school, publicly run, by a state, city, county, or other municipal entity, that is sometimes a feeder to a four year school and soemtimes the end of the line for people who are not pursuing a four year degree. A CC usually offers an associate degree and can be vocational or academic in orientation.</p>
<p>The City University system (CUNY) is a vast and varied public higher education system operated by New York City. It is probably larger and more complex than some state university systems but is essentially analagous to them. It encompasses both two year and four year schools; as I noted earlier. some of the four year schools include Brooklyn, Queens, hunter, and City University of New York; all either are or have been at various times in their history very good schools with excellent faculty and hardworking, striving students who are as capable as but less privileged than students attending private colleges. </p>
<p>Community college (CC) is not another name for public college or university, so there seems to be an underlying misunderstanding shaping the OP's query and the "friend" who reportedly passed this term onto him. A quick study of the CUNY material on the Web should help clear things up. So would a frank discussion with the coach (and athletic diretor and admissions department) who is purportedly offering totally free ride for tennis.</p>
<p>NYU has much better access to firms and is generally a much more marketable degree in New York, I don;t care what the academic ranks say.</p>
<p>Thanks a lot!! :)</p>
