Colleges and Universities A-Z New York University

<p>for those who dont know.. macaulay at city college of new york has quite the number of benefits.. - free laptop, free tuition, free dorm, 7k to spend, more attention and advising, priority in class selection, and i can take classes at other cuny campuses.</p>

<p>i got accepted to nyu cas. </p>

<p>I was just wondering what you guys think of this. my guidance counselor is pushing for city college. because of the close attention and that the advisers push for scholarships and internships. so i wonder what you people would do consider nyu on a full ride</p>

<p>Go with the FREE stuff and don’t think twice. Take the attention you’ll get at a smaller school. .</p>

<p>go with macaulay. i know a lot of people who are happy there and you’ll be happy with no debt.</p>

<p>there’s always grad school. (which you can afford to go to, if you take macaulay!)</p>

<p>Baruch and Hunter are the better CUNY schools. the rest are generally full of bad apples. but since you’re in honors, I guess it’s okay. you save money! we are in a recession after all.</p>

5

<p>the honors program is completely different than the host school, almost an entirely different school. if you look at what the graduates do after school, they’re pretty accomplished.</p>

<p>you twisted my words again! what I mean is the CUNY schools, like City College and John Jay College are generally full of non-honors students who either: barely graduated/had previous criminal records/just bad kids. Honor students are expected to be good though! I never say they will be unaccomplished.</p>

<p>I DID Say it’s okay because you will be in honors but for some classes you will take the same classes in them. It’s bad because when it comes to group work, it may not work out.</p>

<p>It’s not a very good college experience and being around unmotivated kids (I was threatened and pushed around the John Jay college students, ironically the school of criminal justice). Of course every one is entitled to their own opinions and experiences.</p>

<p>what are your stats? i wanted to apply to honors college but i was late…</p>

<p>i didn’t mean to ‘twist’ your words. i -was- drawing upon my own experiences.
my (now ex) boyfriend was at CSI Honors and he loved it. granted, he didn’t have a dorm, and was living at home, but he still enjoyed the experience. he double majored in math and music and minored in business. one of his classmates was chosen for the [J.K</a>.

<p>i didn’t mean to offend you, i just wanted to offer my opinion; that being in MHC means you will be around students just as motivated as you. CSI had a lot of ‘academic apathy’ as well, but the MHC students i’ve met are very satisfied with their choice. i managed to deal with CSI for two years and i wasn’t even in MHC (got to the interview portion). </p>

<p>even if the students around you in your non-MHC classes are distracting and unmotivated, it’s a few hours a week. you’ll be in seminar classes where the only students around you are MHC, as well.
