Not so bright
Some people love QC, while others hate it. I'm leaning closer to the hate side. I came because of the low tuition, financial aid and grants, and amazing athletics faculty.

For the most part, you're on your own academically. Most professors are arrogant and they generally lecture aimlessly and give 3 tests. Homework is sometimes given, depending on the professor and participation in the lecture is not encouraged. In the science department, Queens could be a bit more helpful (with the exception of physics) and most math, fnes, etc. majors are miserable. There are, however, some majors such as urban studies, english, business, physics, etc that have amazing professors and great internship and opportunities. It all depends on what you plan to do while you're here.

If you aren't an athlete or a non-traditional student, don't bother wasting your time here. It isn't a great college experience.

Quite Bright
Queens College is what you make of it. In general, student motivation is not very high and I noticed that too many professors were willing to allow whiny, academically underprepared students to bring down the standards of the class. Still, there were enough exceptions for me to look back and appreciate the fact that I did get a real education.

The school is really diverse in terms of students. Most of the faculty from business related majors are ok, but could be better by hiring more people who had prior corp experience to teach will make more sense for students.
I will suggest to study in Accounting if one is interested in business related major in this school as it is the largest one, which has large leading firms come and recruit every year compared with other majors. (In fact, no other majors is comparable.)

Professors are not helpful. Most instructors are students themselves. It is not fair.
