I am a 2nd year sophomore and enjoying hunter college. Alright, I will be frank with you when I say that they lack campus maintenance (can you even call Hunter a campus?) and socializing is a lot like picking a number on bingo. The ambiance is well balanced; there is a lot of everything. I found Hunter to be a school full of shapes, sizes, and colors. That might be a weird way to see things, but it worked for me. All of the teachers I've meet were great, only one was mediocre.

As for the school faculty, they are very condescending. However, to make things work, YOU MUST BE ONTOP OF YOUR GAME AND BE CONFIDENT. If you look weak, they'll walk all over you. So, of course I went head on to most offices. Many were rude, and I responded by being more rude. A lot like the double negative ideology. This school is not for everyone though. If you are the type of student that likes huge-closed campuses with jocks and whatnot (your typical campus that is always on movies), HUNTER IS NOT FOR YOU. I love the city and I never found commuting a problem. Rather, I found myself growing as a person by being exposed to the nitty-gritty of the city.

Some few negatives are like the narrowness of the elevators and the stuffyness of the library. Aside from that, it's alright.

As for socializing, you got to be confident and acknowledge that there will be some that will not talk to you. I made one friend so far, but a nice friend.
