Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

With its skywalks looming across Lexington Avenue and its ability to draw crowds of young students to the front of the West Building, Hunter College’s vertical campus is a prominent feature of Lexington Avenue. The College is decorated with abstract art that is not necessarily aesthetically pleasing, but in general, the campus is very well maintained. The skywalks make it easy for students to go between buildings without having to go out into the street, which comes in handy when it’s raining or the streets are particularly busy. Many students like to sit on the bridges, and they serve as a good spot to hang out and gaze up Lexington Avenue right to the Chrysler Building. Hunter’s West Building is one of the deepest in Manhattan; in addition to having 15 floors, it has multiple gymnasiums, racquetball courts, a weight room, and training room to keep students entertained when not in class.

Hunter is constantly undergoing renovations, including the modernization of Thomas Hunter Hall. However, the College boasts of state-of-the-art classrooms and a fully stocked library with nine large floors for students to study in and a large collection of books and archives ranging in subjects from East Asian literature to cognitive psychology to issues of Rolling Stone magazine. Some floors offer group-study tables where students can talk as loud as they like; all floors have computers, and most floors have printers, copiers, and scanners for students to use. In general, Hunter’s facilities are kept up-to-date, and students can often find a place to burn excess energy.

General Campus and Library

The campus is bustling with people and makes for a more exciting air than the seemingly average and dry "high school" like interior. The campus has a relatively new student lounge on the seventh floor that is comfortable and features new furniture. The Wexler library, which I believe is one of Hunter's best features, is 9 clean floors of tranquility and a great space to do some hardcore studying.

Hunter College

Hunter College is extremely diverse. There is always some event going on near the cafeteria and everyone is friendly and wants to make you feel part of something. Despite Hunter being located in NYC, a city that is always on the move, its always a great place to walk into. The skywalk or the bridges connecting the buildings are great places to sit and read or convene with friends. The rooftop is also accessible and it's absolutely amazing when the weather is warm.

Facts

"Green" Initiatives

Hunter is slowly going green in little ways, such as conserving energy by turning off escalators when they are least likely to be used. Almost everywhere at Hunter, garbage bins are separated into portions for easy recycling (can, plastic, etc.). The cafeteria also partners with City Harvest to donate unused food at the end of each day to the needy around NYC.

Favorite Things To Do

The College also hosts readings from famous authors, concerts, stimulating lectures, and plays for students to attend in their spare time.

While Central Park is only a few blocks away, most students like to spend their leisure time around the campus itself, lounging on the skywalks or just talking with friends in the various lounge areas in the West Building. Students can also window-shop on Lexington or Third avenues, or go to the park when the weather permits.
