I LOVE Hunter. If you're looking for a typically "college experience" with fraternities and sororities and ra ra ra, its not the place for you. If you want to be challenged, if you want to think, if you want more than a piece of paper that says you've completed college, if you're on a budget and want to meet people from diverse backgrounds, consider Hunter. People say students are "antisocial". I have never found this to be the case, but I'd say that people come here to work hard and learn. I've had amazing teachers at Hunter, I would not go anywhere else.

I recommend this school. It's the only one I ever wanted to attend, and I wouldn't go anywhere else. That said, I am part of the honors program, which provides individualized attention, priority registration, and special honors courses, so my experience may be somewhat atypical. Prospective students should really look into Macaulay Honors at CUNY. I like Hunter because there are so many things one can study here; literally, probably over a thousand courses are taught each semester. I've taken classes from a variety of departments, simply because they seemed interesting. I think attending this college has augmented my critical thinking abilities and given me a broader perspective. I've tried to involve myself in extracurricular activities at the school, namely through sports, and although engagement is difficult, it is still possible. I think, like any experience, Hunter is what one makes of it. Research professors and classes before taking them, and one can come out with an excellent education. It is a little known secret that Hunter hires countless professors with PhDs from elite institutions - Harvard, Yale, Cornell, Columbia, etc. - you will find them all here at Hunter.

I have read some of the comments and in the areas about the appearance and social life of Hunter, they are true to a certain degree. Yeah, the school isn't topnotch, but they have been adding new things, they added a new section of the cafeteria, they have a small lounge on the 7th floor west building. You have to explore. People are generally nice, but most are NYers and we are always on the move. I am a science major and if you want to be a BIOLOGY major, take it your FIRST YEAR. In order to graduate in 4 years, you should take it as a freshman especially if you're premed. As premed, this school is pretty good, I have received many info and resources on going to med school.So, this school is good for its price. Take advantage of what is offered and you will be surprised how far you go.
