I will try to explain why as I focus my review on this department. Equipment Prior to applying, prospect students are led to believe they will be "provided with ample of hands-on experience in [..] well-equipped laboratories". In reality, most of the equipment is very old and the students hardly ever experiment with them (if ever). The department does have plenty of computers, but internet access is shamefully blocked on all of them. Education The education here is so-so. Oftentimes, the professors are not proficient in the subjects they teach. Production The professors produce very little inspirational work and what can you expect from the students? There are many abandoned rusting projects laying around and present work-in-progress with little possibility of becoming functional. Advising The students are commonly disoriented and the staff do not offer much aside from a long-promised "4 year degree". No internships, worthy advice or anything. Conclusion While I would not recommend this program to anybody, some people may actually benefit from it especially those with very little preparation in the past. The material is introductory at best and it's not difficult to get good grades. Perceived Campus Safety: B, Social Life: F Have a Question?

The rates of graduation are low not because the school is terrible, but the course schedules and life happens - most of your peers you will find will be over the average college age, with full time jobs and kids of their own. I'm not saying you will not meet people here, you will, but don't expect a conventional college with young people. The technology aspect of the school is crying for help. The equipment is outdated for engineering technology and there really isn't any "cool" stuff you can do there. The reviewers are right, students are mostly passive, but not all students are that way. If you're serious about doing any tech stuff and can only afford a CUNY education, City College is a far better option. CUNY's use mostly adjuncts, some are good, some are terrible. This is really a mixed bag situation since some tenured professors at CityTech are borderline lazy and won't hesitate to insult if you ask what they consider a stupid question. I've had adjuncts who were interesting people with full time careers such as lawyers, engineers at the MTA, and even a full time econ professor at NYU. CityTech is a great place to be, if you need to take classes in the evening, it accommodates students who need to work or older students with other life responsibilities. As for the comments about passive students, ignore them, most of them flunk out and never return. Have a Question? Your Response/Question:     To be informed when someone replies to your comment.

I was going to attend classes here but because the faculty (in the transfer student unit/recruiment unit to be specific) wasn't really helpful and they kept giving me the "runaround" I decided to switch schools and attend BMCC. (I'm doing a career switch; I have my BBA from Baruch and I need to take science-based classess to get into the several nursing programs) Although they were very nice, half of them didn't know how to answer my questions and I found myself going to school after work, everyday just so I can meet with a different person to help me but overall the experience wasn't great. I'm not going to recall any names but this one guy who keep telling me to come back the next day to meet with him and another person, wouldn't bother show up that day and that's not fair to me. And I don't know if they are just stressed out and overwhelm but despite their negative feelings, they need to be more professional. We, as students, are paying tuition out of our pockets and we deserve much better customer service. It's so funny how the faculty can't help you in anything yet they always remember to send your tuition bill like five times, even after you paid. But I dropped my class and I am going to get a refund. I'm not gonna bother attend this school when the faculty (in the transfer student/recruitment unit" don't know how to help people. Remember, I'm not trying to diss the school; this is my experience. Hopefully, your wouls be better. Thanks. Surrounding City: B, Campus Aesthetics: F Have a Question?
