Updated Review Fall 2021…read more I graduated yall lol. my first review of this school is still accurate. I stand by my opinion that all of CUNY is poorly run, but thats to be expected of a public university system ran by a city that has had a corruption issue since before most of us were born. Look at how MTA is run, LIRR, the homelessness and housing issues. Anyway, to get back on topic.. I had a degree when I came here, I wanted to do a 2nd Bachelor for premed/prehealth. They screwed me over on not communicating to ALL premeds that there is an immersive program to help you get into grad schools, medical, dental etc. You have to enter before Junior year. I missed out due to a poor advisor. The best prehealth advisor is Richard Calder. The best Science Professors are Jimoh, Kamal, Sing Liao, Shaban, Dr. Smalls, Mozzafer Hassan, Okezue, Proff Li (the male for Genetics), Prof Li (the woman for Neuroscience and she knows the prehealth program I was referring to), for Math: Ajeet Gary, Physics: Colley Baldwin and Prof Williams. Org Chem RIchard Denton or Prof Rajapaske. The nursing program is a joke but they claim theyre challenging, its hard because they make it hard and arent really trying to make sure youre supported and succeed. There is also some bias for ppl from certain islands. DO with that what you will. I know from real sources of ppl who graduated. The Nursing programs and other specialized health programs at CUNY are run poorly and by ppl who are NOT teachers, they are better off in the field not teaching curriculum at ALL. The only thing that makes it worth your stress is that the cost is so low comparatively to other schools in the region where you will experience some of the same problems because education in NYC as a whole is poorer quality than a school outside this tristate area. If you can go Out of State I would advise you too. Even upstate to Buffalo SUNY- Buffalo is better than here.

DO NOT - I REPEAT DO NOT - ENROLL IN THE NURSING PROGRAM AT MEDGAR EVERS COLLEGE…read more Less than 30-40% of students actually graduate. There is little to no real teaching, you are expected to teach yourself everything using ATI modules. When you fail and ask for help or a review, they just tell you to "read more and there is no time to review." You can read everything front to back, and the exams still feel designed in a way that makes them almost impossible to pass - with correct choices being marked as incorrect choice (despite having proof that that is what the book says). It is almost as if the exams are rigged. Even many outside adjunct professors have said it feels like students are set up to fail, possibly so the school can keep charging tuition, especially since many of the nursing credits don't transfer elsewhere. The get to simply re-bill the same people for an education that they already paid for and did not receive. They do not take accountability. When 62 out of 65 students FAIL, they blame the students instead of addressing poor teaching AND the fact that they do not provide CLINICAL EXPERIENCE. The same instructors can have failure rates of 90%+ semester after semester, and nothing changes. You are essentially paying for an education that you are not receiving. Clinical experience, which is required, is limited or nonexistent, yet they still charge full tuition. On top of that, the environment is very discouraging. Staff often speak to students in a condescending, demeaning and disrespectful way, like you are a child. Most nursing students are there because they genuinely want to help people, but that passion is not supported here. Instead, it feels like constant stress, hazing and intimidation. Save yourself the time, money, and frustration. Go to a program where students are actually supported, where the graduation rate is high, and where people 90% of students pass the NCLEX. Out of a class of over 60 students, many of whom are repeating the semester, only about 2-3 are currently passing HALF of their classes. That should tell you everything. I'm sharing this to genuinely warn future students. If you're serious about becoming a nurse, choose a different program.

Clinton Hill

Today I attended an Open House session at St. Joseph College…read more The Open House was well organized and the campus tour give by the students (two freshman) was informative. The campus is spread over two block and is near the Pratt institute campus. My impression of this college is very positive. Plus- Small school, personal attention, small classes. 90% of the student body are commuters. Neighbor is historical- Clinton Hill. School is close to the city. The tuition is reasonable for a private school. The story is acessible by subway (G-train) and buses on Mytle Ave. and Dekalb Ave. (This review is from the view poinr of a parent with a college bound child.)

The school isn't hard to find, but trying to figure which building the administration is very hard…read more The trees need trimming because it covers the signs. The library and classrooms need a huge makeover because everything looks like a public primary school. 13 block walk from Dekalb ave station. The people are nice, but the school isn't organized. Being a non-matriculated student here, I did not get on the right foot in. I do not take classes physically here but the problems I had to encounter do not make me want to take any in the future. I was charged for a $716 mandatory insurance because I was "placed" on a list with the matriculated students. And I didn't get any prior physical mail until an invoice came to my doorstop. The problem was taken care of, but they need better correspondence to their students before giving students private information to companies without the students consent. Yes, this school is in a historic area, but hey, this is the 21st century and you are in NYC, upgrade please!
