Beautiful campus on Long Island

I enjoyed all my experiences at C. W. Post College! The professors were good, can't specifically remember any one outstanding but what did I know at that age? Good courses, even made me understand philosophy which I dreaded taking. All in all, good college - I think I learned a lot.

All you need to do to pass your classes at C W Post Long Island Campus is to blackmail your professors by talking to the dean or the chairperson (more effective both). Students can make stuff up and create a fake list of character defects and the dean will belive you. I have been in several classes and I have seen several students getting together in facebook or in person to pick apart some professors that are good, but the professor(s) wont give them a higher grade. What is amazing is that the Dean and shareperson(s) are so terrify of the students drooping out the $5000 per-class school that they will do anything to keep the students happy.

The bulling of professors doesn't even need to be a group effort (mobbing). One single student can get a professor fired. In one occasion this one student was cheating in her exam (she had access to the professor's key test exams because she was working at the school), made up horrible lies and accusations about a professor not teaching well or doing his job correctly (as she would like). Three us went to tell the share person that she was just crazy and lying that we loved our professor. Then the professor couldn't accused her of cheating because the professor was threaten by the office that he will lose his job. He gave her a B because she demanded it; her actual grade was F.

Even the lazy students who only play on their laptops and/or don't come to class get good grades--especially those with with big pockets--the dean will ask professors to "PASS THEM." One professor (can't mention the department), was asked to pass several student of his who got an F. When he said no, they fired him.

So Yeah, if you only want the degree and not have to study or learn anything. This is the school for you. Always high grades and the students have 100% power. You can bully professors and/or threaten them; this is not a big deal to the dean or the school. Is common practice.

Don't believe me? Look at the language E Loiterman uses below this comment:

"I WAS a pain in the butt towards my instructors for some good reason ....I demanded feedback... and I got it!."

Side note: You asked help to your professors; you don't demand--- entitlement and disrespect that is the culture at CW POST. Enjoy!

My experience there overall was positive, I got out of my BFA in Fine Arts what I put into it myself and gained accordingly. I can't compare it to Pratt or NYU or any big name school, but I WAS a pain in the butt towards my instructors for some good and not so good reasons, BUT I asked a ton of questions spent my life in the printmaking and painting studios -demanded feedback and guidance and got it. Like any other art instruction you will get a leaning towards modern but if you WANT to learn traditional or illustrative technique -ASK questions and do the work yourself and you will get there regardless of what fancy school you go to! My classmates really made the difference for me. They were warm and supportive as were most of the Instructors and thats saying alot. It's hard to fault the school if you can't plan a career with an art degree. Hopefully at the present day they have modernized and faculty are willing to say to kids: "If you want to earn a living, TEACH, market yourself doing this and this or here are some ADDITIONAL career paths other than retail where you can be happy!" I wish I heard those words but found out on my own, thankfull it turned out ok.
