Well the international division has been very helpful so far (3 years at Berkeley), I always received answers to my immigration related questions. As for the classes, so professors really care about helping student succeed and other seem like they had no choice but teaching. Also, I don't approve the attendance policies, again I come from a country where attendance is not required. As for the student, some are nice. (Thats all) What I love about the school is the its international students. You will meet people from all over the world. Just be open minded and sociable, you will be fine.

Butler Library and Avery Architectural Fine Arts Library have beautiful interiors that are ideal look for a historic college library, as well as the modern style of Engineering Library. Among them, I like Lehman Social Sciences Library the most, though I rarely take SIPA courses, there is a microwave on the sixth floor of the building to heat meals, and small self-study rooms, which is very suitable for spending a whole day reviewing for exams and writing the thesis. One of the great things about the Columbia Library is that you can find almost every kind of study space here. Study on the second-floor mezzanine, study in the quaint rooms with low light, study in the small rooms like telephone booths, study on the edge of the numerous bookshelves... They have desks in almost every corner of the library, and you can always find a study atmosphere that attracts you.

There's also a lot of fireflies in the bushes and grass at night. The food in the kitchen is really good. Their lunch trays are navy when I used to go there and is big enough to hold a lot of food. I came here for a business camp back when I was in high school and their facilities were really spacious to accommodate us.

I think it may depend on your expectations - I chose the school for its location, degree program & professor interests/background.

In my opinion, that was one of the most valuable things I had access to there.

After admitting students from China, they became suspicious of them and refused to trust them. They separated the Chinese students from students of other nationalities and confined only the Chinese students in a classroom for questioning. They acted like prison guards. After that, they disregarded school policy and changed the rules arbitrarily. They were petty tyrants in a small, enclosed space. But times have changed. Although Shelly Fox has retired and Joff has moved on to teach at the Rhode Island School of Design, I will never forget the harm and humiliation they inflicted on me.

Take advantage of: your internships, office hours and opportunities to ask questions, everything New York City has to offer, and the friendships you build. Those ended up being some of the most valuable parts of the experience.

It is also very conveniently located, as if I'm ever nearby and do not wish to wait on line for the Starbucks bathroom, I can simply swipe my stormcard here and stop by the bathroom. Furthermore, I really am impressed with the layout, appearance and cleanliness of this building as a whole.

If it weren't for the family I worked for, I probably would've transferred out of Marymount and moved out of the city. Now, for the review of Marymount itself as a "college institution": UM NO. Faculty, administration and students. Programs, activities and clubs. NO to it all. I feel like all "normal" kids that just came here for the city all stick together, which was nice, but that's not what college is about. You are supposed to want to mingle with other people, but here, YOU DO NOT. Another thing that really stinks about Marymount is once you graduate (if you do because the retention rate is only ~66%), all your friends move away from the city. I get that the city in itself has a high turnover rate but these people that you get close to throughout college all vanish. It's really sad. Classes: A complete joke. Pretty sure I had a magician/wizard person as an Intro to Comm professor. Or it was a student taking the class. I think I've tried to block it out. The electives I took were the most bizarre things in the world. Something about menstruation to environmental science where our professor would want us to teach the class. Thumbs up to Dan Diggles for Intro to Improv though, really brought on my inner dramatics and I enjoyed stepping out of my comfort zone in that class. The cost. One word: WHY. Every month when those loans come out of my account, I think WHY DID I CHOOSE MARYMOUNT? Then I remember, they actually took all my transfer credits which is another pro. You have to fight it though, because you have to fight for everything. They will tell you you are not on track to graduate, even though you are, just to get more tuition money. Yes, this happened to me. I was only one credit short and there was surprisingly a one credit class offered in January, so I took that. No need to pay for three credits because that'll take about two years to pay off. So all in all, 2 years after graduation, whenever I hear the word "Marymount", I can't help but cringe.

My review is for the Fashion Museum and their event programming, and nothing else…read more I've been visiting the museum for years and have appreciated their curatorial eye. Their choices always feel on point with what's happening in the zeitgeist. Some exhibits I really enjoyed include: Claire McCardell, Dior & Balenciaga, Ravishing: The Rose in Fashion, Force of Nature, Pink: The History of a Punk, Pretty, Powerful Color. In addition, they also have really great talks and symposiums. I went to one recently with Robin Givhan speaking about her Virgil Abloh book. Did I mention that pretty much all of their exhibits and talks are free? Pretty incredible that NYC has this amazing treasure trove of an institution.

Admission is free, it is readily accessible by subway, and there is a charming red carpet leading directly to the exhibit space, which I thought was very clever. The designs themselves are lovely - I would have bought several of the dresses / pieces on display! And it's really fun to see what the designers of tomorrow are creating today. This is a lovely way to spend an hour or so.

If you read through the history of Baruch College, you will find that the school initially was…read morefunded to allow students, who could not afford enrolling in NYC's prestigious private schools like Columbia and NYU, to be able to pursue their dreams of becoming top business professionals. For the past 97 years, the school has been horning its original educational mission and helping countless students achieving their career success. Zicklyn School of Business ranks #55 nationally and #1 public business school in New York (Wikipedia). Unfortunately, due to lower application rate, thanks to the lowest unemployment rate, recently, the school downgraded its MBA program from 57 credit requirement (allows students to pick 1-2 majors) to 45-credits. The new 45-credit "package" not only tarnishes the fame of Zicklyn's MBA Program, it also depreciates the value of many former 57-credit MBA graduates's diploma. My prediction for the next few years, is that this school would probably replace traditional in-class lectures with more online sessions. That would be a real shame. Pros: City campus, many nearby good restaurants and fun places to hangout during class breaks or after. Perfect locations for PT MBA to come for class after work. Some tenured professors tend to not following the stupid bell-curve rule, instead honoring hard working students the grades they deserve. People from the MBA administration are perhaps the nicest and most responsive. Cons: Bathrooms in the older building are absolutely worse than those from Central Park. The gym is so outdated and small. You will have to fight for a treadmill. School mandates each student to pay $100 printing fee, regardless the student needs it or not. It's a robbery. People sitting in the office of registrar are mean and lack of any kind of motivation for helping students. They NEVER pick up the phone so don't bother calling. Expect a super long wait in the Bursar office, even there were only few students on the line. They don't pick up the phone, neither. Lately, the curriculums for summer sessions are garbages--nothing useful to select. Security guards by the entrances are rude and think they are Heimdall from Thor, LOL
