I enrolled with an average expectation and then realized that the education offered at MCNY is below standard. I feel that the tuition is extremely high given the many issues with the school. The instructors, for the most part, are not well trained and there is a feeling of instructors being around just to get a paycheck and be self-absorbed… Instructors also worry too much about showing the dean that they are "doing their jobs," so some instructors pile students with work for the sake of looking good to the dean…

My advise in that area is to get a better search committee (if one exists) to recruit instructors.

In the 5 semesters (called purposes) that I have completed, I have NEVER met a student that has been generally satisfied with MCNY. While walking the hallways, all you hear is students yelling at the instructors or complaining to each other. This is a terrible situation because the incidents demoralize any of the peers that surround it. Also, it seems like several of the students should go to heavy, HEAVY remedial, and instructors should be more fair to students who try harder. I've seen the type of students that have passed and graduated - MCNY is digging their own grave if they continue to accept that.

Finally, MCNY's academic approach seems to orbit around their trademarked Constructive Action (CA). The concept of the CA is a very good one, but it is GREATLY overrated by the school. This is also based on my opinion and the opinion of every student I have had the chance to discuss it with across the school.

Unfortunately, I am already too deep into my bachelors to consider switching schools. Currently, other schools do not accept CA credits and MCNY at least has an accelerated program.
