New York City College of Technology

The professors are the only good people in the school the administration office especially financial aid is the worst then take a portion of your aid for themselves and they make sure you pay extra by any means necessary no advisors and the workers there are very rude and unhappy I can't wait to graduate to leave this terrible school behind. The school is horrible but the professors are great and want you to succeed.

TL;DR:

At the end of the day, I gained very little from this school because most of my network or friends became fragmented by transferring. Most professors will not write a LOR if you received an A. I did not receive any employment because of CUNY CITYtech-- it was all me.

Very Low Graduation Rate: 23% (in 6 years)

A commuter campus with hard working individuals but a poor gloomy culture.

The students try and succeed but many transfer out. Many drop out. Many have mental, physical and financial disabilities but fall through the cracks. You have to work HARD to graduate even though the professors are lenient with attendance they give you challenging coursework.

2012, We registered over 900 of the 17,000 students to vote. It was a task with busy students on the commuter-campus. Ultimately there is corruption among the higher ups because they do not put the students first.

I ran for VP of SGA and won. Helped with the Empire Slate. Worked with NYPIRG on lowering Higher Education prices. For college courses it was an education entirely dependent on the professor. For a technology school we did not utilize tech at all in basic courses. Wanted to study medicine but was not served by this institution in any capacity. No Premed counselors and no clubs prior to Nursing, Radiology etc. They do not even have a Biology major. Very poor organization and structure-- with a fight between BLACK AND WHITE amongst faculty. Professors were sometimes supported by higher faculty and you are supported by the faculty at times. At the end of the day, I gained very little from this school because most of my network or friends became fragmented by transferring. Most professors will not write a LOR if you received an A. I did not receive any employment because of CUNY CITYtech-- it was all me.

My acceptance into the "Medical Laboratory Program", was almost put to a halt corresponding to the bias opinion of a female professor from India. My placement into this program was contingent on my grades. A white male professor reviewing my grades said; " It seems you have the prerequisites and the grades to gain acceptance in this program. BUT.... A comment clearly expressed from this Indian professor was; " You can't let him into this program!" And he said; " He has the grades and prerequisites." I can't see why I can't accept him into the program. ". She then added, " He can't be accepted into this program because he's.... Do you know what high school he graduated from? We have students from prestigious high schools and they don't make it. What makes you think he'll make it!" His remark then was, I can't deny him entry when he has the entry qualifications. Her final remark was; " then it is up to you." His face was reddened and he clearly expressed embarrassment with her remark of...." he can't be accepted into this program because he's...... ". Must admit, the program was tough....but this Puerto Rican descendant made it too, in spite of, " because he's.... "

This school is great for the IT programs. I see so many bad reviews saying terrible stuff about this college but believe me if you pay attention in classes and follow the instruction of prof. they really care about you. This college is for grown up people, you can be dum or smart its all up to you.

Hey! I got really upset about the bad reviews.. It's just my first year, as I've just started college, and I find the college really good! All my professors are really nice except for one.. Well, I mean there just has to be a terrible professor in each college, so don't blame it on the whole college being terrible.
