CUNY Hunter College
- Academics

Horrible!

The professors don't care about their classes, student--or amything really. The campus sucks and it's a "suitcase school." Everyone is pretty old. Needs proper funding as well--profs don't even have chalk to write on the board. Total bureaucracy--impossible to get any issues with grades/classes dealt with. Overall, horrible experience here.

Registration Process

When the time for registration comes, most students are stressed. The reason is because most or all the classes they need to take are full or closed. At Hunter, honors students and athletes are given priority, then to seniors and then to freshmen. So sophomores and juniors, who need to take certain key classes in order to graduate on time, have to wait til next semester to take those classes. As a result, their graduation is postponed a year and maybe to two years.

Psychology Dept

You kind of have to do all the work yourself. Because there are so many psych majors, psych advisers only answer specific questions. They're not really there for general guidance or support, in fact if you want to move forward you kind of have to figure things out yourself and come up with your own plan. Even the resources (such as scholarships, internships, fellowships, etc.) they do have, you may only become aware of them if you ask a specific question in relation to them. This makes it more difficult for many to graduate on time and feel prepared for the next step of their lives. Students become quickly overwhelmed with organizing the here and now, instead of their futures.
