Such a horrible administration!!! It's pathetic that no one that you try to reach out to in this school don't want to help and take forever and a day to do a simple task. Such uneducated people. If you hate your job, then quit, so like that they can hire ppl that do want to help prior students with any needs that they may need for other schools so that they continue their education. It's 4 years later, and still waiting for their worthless staff to let go of the "hold" that's on my daughter's account so she can register elsewhere and move on. How many times do you guys need an email with all of the attachments to be sent to you?!? It's been 4 years?!? Smh ‍ read more

Came here for my vaccine. The troops keeps the flow going ! Even though they may be semi long lines it took no more then 5 mins for progress and 15mins for rest. They are currently supplying Pfizer. There are frequent openings for the vaccine! Just got to keep an eye on it! Best of luck to everyone ! read more

I am writing about the York College Learning Learning Center , which is affiliated with the college . i am writing as a former employee. It used to be a great place to work, but there a relatively new director who you can do well with under certain conditions. I did not do well the new director because I cannot tolerate being yelled at , lied about , lied to , and working as an indentured servant who bows at each of her whims . If you can handle being falsely slandered , gaslighted , berated for no justifiable reason you can have a good opportunity here . The college and human resources at RF Cuny will not help you , but there are opportunities here for fill time work with benefits. The above is my opinion and the opinion of many of my former colleagues .Good luck . read more

While others' experiences may vary, my experience has been less than satisfactory. I will say that I have met some amazing professors here that have taught me so much and really helped me grow as a student. However, a good portion of the professors I've encountered were lackluster and sometimes even unclear about what they wanted in their class. Coming from personal experience and stories I've heard from students and professors, the Career Service Center at York College is underwhelming. Don't expect too much help and learn to be independent when it comes to career development because chances are, you won't be getting any help here. Most notably, make sure to always be cautious when walking alone at night after leaving campus. This area is relatively unsafe and crime can occur pretty often. If you can, try to take earlier classes so that you can leave while there's still daylight. While Covid-19 certainly played a part in my experience at York College CUNY, I think overall, the substance at this school is mediocre, if not subpar. If you're lucky, you might be able to meet the few good professors. read more

I've been going to YORK on and off for about 3 years. I have mixed feelings as students usually do but overall I think it's a pretty good school. The bathrooms need serious upgrading, and we need some more "caring professors" but the library is usually pretty empty and great for alone study time (until finals and midterms of course, then everyone is in here) the cafeteria has decent foods, I love the patties, burgers and wraps, and prices aren't too crazy thank God. The campus beautiful and a decent size. I hope to graduate soon!! read more

If you looked up reviews of this travesty of an education then good on you. The reason I am writing this is because I had a conversation with my husband recently that sparked such terrible memories going to this school in the early 2010's. He went there too and transferred years later. The school may be different now but fair or not, I'm going to UNLOAD. It will make me feel better. 1. So around 2008-2011 (ballpark estimate) THEY DISPOSED OF COMPUTERS THAT LOST STUDENTS information. Numbers of students had to submit paperwork and proof of their existence because some employees were negligent. Huge red flag. 2. I had gone 1/3 through two classes (my only classes as a part timer) only to find out I was not properly entered on the roster sheet so I had to pick other classes except, small problem, we were 1/3 of the way through the semester so that opportunity was dead. Nice that they notified me though. Lost money too and for some reason I never sued for my money wasted, or at least cause a scene. So that was my last time being a student. 3. Staff was always rude and misinformed, sending you back and forth instead of verifying the correct information. Nasty, hostile and unpleasant 80% of the time. How can they be so incompetent and just mean???? Um hello, no students-no job to do. PERIODT. 4. In 2018, I got a government job and needed my transcript to apply for it. I pay the fee and wait for it in the mail. Get this, they mailed me SOMEONE ELSE' transcript. She had quadruple the amount of credits I had so I had to go in person to request my own. I showed them, saying nothing. Not a word, not even a complaint. The man who assisted me voluntarily says "it's not our fault". If he said something else after that, I was too bewildered to hear or respond. It went blank for me because umm...who's fault was it and WHO DOES THIS? Who trains these people? I knew the students address and everything about her whole life practically. I should have written her a letter to warn her. Advise her to transfer and save herself. If I was a crook, I could have configured a forgery. Those credits looked like moneyyy. Moral of the story: don't send your high school graduates here. Don't transfer here. Don't even set foot on campus. Go somewhere else. Anywhere else. You'll be happier. Don't believe Google reviews. I refuse to believe majority of students love being there. Thank you for reading. I hope somewhere they got their act together. read more

Great place to get your COVID vaccine. Come on down, no wait. Do your part for the community and stay safe. read more

I dont think it's as bad as people say it is. There are some flaws but I think if you can put in your efforts this is also a nice college. It's just some classes that are not good appealing or sometimes short of students. I had a business class with only 3 students so I wasn't happy about it. But in the end it's your choice if you want o keep up here. I would recommend going to Laguardia and get elsewhere thought, even if I do love York college, I see other college might be a better place to be in. read more

York College was, by far, the worst educational institution in terms of administrative organization. I visited York College to apply for the Clinical Laboratory Technician program. I went to the main admissions building and ended up being footballed around from one department to another for two straight hours. Every department was pre-programmed to say "Your program is has nothing to do with our department".That's ridiculous! In conclusion, I couldn't find anybody to speak with. I lost two hours looking for the correct department only to leave without any relevant information. CUNY, your reputation is being tarnished by incompetent York College staff. read more

I would discourage anyone from attending this school. I enrolled in a few refresher graphics courses and my experience was dreadful. The campus building I was in was the C building and it was disgusting. There is a bathroom in the lobby that hadn't been cleaned in days probably because the smell consumed the entire lobby. It was disgusting. The staircase to the 2nd floor smelled horrible as well and the bathroom up there was no better. (I will load a photo) when I got to the computer lab where my class was it here was an overwhelming odor from someone's pungent lunch or breakfast. The next reason I would not recommend this institution to anyone is that I was forced to cancel all of my courses because my first course was a Photoshop class. The first day of class the weather was awful it was snowing and icy out. I learned absolutely nothing from the instructor except his theory on photography. He did not know how to use the program and spent majority of the first class arguing with pissed off students. Luckily I record my classes and was able to get a refund. all in all this school has a disgusting atmosphere and what was advertised was not what was taught and I was cheated as a consumer because they did not even make sure the person teaching this class was qualified. read more

the cafeteria food "Aladdin" is HIGHLY overpriced. 50% students, 50% rats and other rodents. By Fall 2019, the cafeteria failed the inspection for cleanliness SO THEY SHUT DOWN THE CAFETERIA AND OUR COFFEE PLACE. there were HAZARDS everywhere in that cafeteria. WE HAD A RODENT PROBLEM. fries and chicken nuggets was like 7 dollars and those were just SIDES. nothing but greasy and salty food. so for two semesters we did not have anything to eat on campus besides vending machine snacks. some of us do not have enough time to go off campus to get something to eat ESPECIALLY in Jamaica, Queens. as a student, the professors are not all that great. most of them are terrible but you'll be lucky if you find a professor you can connect and bond with. most of my friends transferred out by sophomore year. the departments are whack, the faculty is not helpful, everybody who works in this school is mean and disrespectful and biased. they never help. don't even think about going to the financial aid office. so now there is no food to eat on campus, no coffee for us, no great staff for us to communicate with (who is going to write my recommendation letter for grad school?!??!?!), and there is no organized system. maybe the school should get organized, THEN start charging students for tuition. don't waste your four years and your money here unless you like rats and mean people and disgusting environments. did i mention the school is right next to a graveyard? read more

I have been trying to get a copy of my transcript for grad school but they do not answer the phones or return calls three weeks (I live in another state now and thats the only reason I haven't gone in person). The message today was the mailbox is full so there was no way to contact them None of the other departments answered either. If I did that at my job I would be fired. I do not understand the lack of professionalism in a so-called place of higher education. I hope that I am the only one going through this because this is getting ridiculous. I may have to write an article and submit it to the local paper and maybe then someone will answer the phone to help. All I want is what I am paying for, a copy of my transcript! read more

The admission office employees and Advisors are just RUDE and Ignorant. I can't understand how can they still be in office? And i saw many complaints about them. Not helpful at all and if you ask them any questions they would stare at you or give advice which isn't related to your questions. They need to understand,they are in that college because of us. They don't own the college read more

The staff and teachers that are here seem to really care about the students. They take passion in teaching. But this school is disgusting. I was in the main building for a info session. It was located in the basement which had no phone reception, just wifi ( which was pretty fast) . The classrooms are so old. The chairs are broken the room itself is small and stuffy. I couldnt believe students actually have to sit in these rooms and be comfy. The bathrooms are filthy. Theres no toilet paper in any of them. Most of them are "closed". I had to walk up to the second floor just to find a working bathroom. Even that bathroom was filthy. The hallways are so grim. There is no light anywhere. Everything just looks dark. The students look miserable. Maybe it was the day? I dont know, but my experience was far from enjoyable. read more

My child hasn't even started the semester and I'm already planning on having her transferred. The orientation was chaotic, unorganized and when you ask for information, staff are either unresponsive, dismissive or flat out rude. The event included a lunch which many students missed while waiting for hours for their IDs. Lines for an ID were around the campus with one kiosk working during a busy orientation. Many of these students are juggling work, family obligations and I felt that their time isn't respected. For example, during the orientation, it was relayed that the one ID kiosk was supposed to be open till 7 pm. I overheard students saying they needed to go to work and return after 3 pm since the lines were extremely long. Security decided to close the kiosk at 3 pm without notice to students who wanted to return later on. There is a total disconnect with the students and its alarming. The resentment towards the students is almost palpable. Considering the demographic makeup of the student body (people of color, working class) there should be more sensitivity. It is almost as if students should be grateful for being mistreated. I am assuming this is because of the mode of tuition coverage in financial aid. It's not a favor when a service which is paid for. I can't expect it to get any better. Do yourself a favor and avoid York. read more

School itself gets like 2 stars (facilities, cafeteria, amenities). Overall a 3. They have some really great teachers here for the health field, and the tuition is cheap since it's a city school (hence CUNY- City University of New York). The cafeteria has rodents, vermin, and cockroaches. There was a whole article in my school newspaper on how they have so many health violations, and a pending grade due to failing the health code...but I'm not in school for food. I'm in school for my bachelor's degree, which would be more easily obtained if the staff would get there act's together and be a little more organized and prepared in dealing with all the student's needs. read more

Probably about 95% of the people who work at York College are incompetent failures, which is probably why they work there. The remaining 5% of competent workers are what has kept the school in existence . The administration does not know what it's doing, and there is a lot of favoritism among the departments. For example, you might find one major struggling with outdated, expired equipment, while another (i.e. physician's assistant program) has all new equipment and more than their fair share of funding. If you have a choice, I would definitely recommend finding a different school. Yes, York is cheap, but the extra money you shell out at a better school will allow you to actually learn useful information, and let you actually graduate ON TIME (not to mention all the stress you'll save yourself from). Even with the cheaper tuition, with the lack of organization and stupidity of the administration and staff, you'll end up paying a lot more (in time and money) because you'll be held back several semesters because they will find SOME reason for you to stay. The bathrooms, cafeteria, and entire facility in general is dirty and falling apart. The majority of the classrooms are furnished with chairs that must have been donated from a high school that had been shut down. If you're lucky you may choose a major that has transferable credits so that you can get the hell out of York as soon as you figure out how terrible it is. If you're not, and have chosen a specialty program, most likely the credits DO NOT transfer and you'll have to suffer through until you can finally graduate and run for the hills. If it weren't for the VERY few competent faculty and staff that I've met at York, this review would have ZERO stars (and if yelped even allowed giving zero stars). You get what you pay for, but in the case of York College, you get CONSIDERABLY LESS than what you pay for. read more

York College - Did I seriously find this in the Physical Education building?! - Colleges & Universities Near Me - Jamaica, New York

As a visitor, I like the campus life here, not so much the facilities. I have been to the fashion shows, plays, and a couple parties here. Outside of Public Safety taking their job a tad too serious I like the place. Their sports complex is not state of the art but all things considered it appears accomdating to the student athletes and regular students as far as physical fitness/recreation. Their performing arts center is fantastic. Granted they treat that place like Carnegie Hall with the security and treatment of everything in there. Now talking to my friends who are students here, wow. I would think this place is an extension of high school. I could not see myself going to school here. I would never have graduated, and if I did it would have barely been above 2.0. Great place to visit, enroll, not so much. read more

Nursing dept needs a change. Will crush your dreams . this school was a big disappointment !

My soon to be alma mater! Started at LaGuardia now we here (Drake voice). This school has been good to me, though I've dealt with quite a bit much bureaucracy as with all CUNY schools. The school is quite big. My classes are usually in the main building with some of them in the smaller buildings. As much as I'm trying to finish up this long journey of receiving my BA, my issue with CUNY is "why can't I get any financial aid???" Paying for classes out of pocket while working full time isn't easy at all. You make it so hard that you better be damn near poor just to be able to take classes for free and receive a Pell Grant. I've met so many nice people from all walks of life attending this school. I would say that is what I like the most. The professors I've had the pleasure of meeting with were easygoing and pretty helpful. The financial aid office is a joke. The lunch here is pretty good and expensive. The bathrooms are old and dirty (automatic flushing toilets, seat covers, automated paper towel stands as well as automated sinks would work). The classes need major renovations. At least they are doing so one step at a time. The escalators always go out of service. The elevator is so slow. The outlets at the desks in the library rarely worked. Computers are not always available! Professors cancel at the last minute, the bursar's office is very slow and the registrar's office is also a bit slow too. You have to pay $20 each time you need to register after taking a semester off. All in all, this school works for me though pretty far from my house in Brooklyn. It takes me four (4) trains to get here and the J and E trains are always crowded as this is the only school that has the major I am studying in. I do like this school a lot, much more than LaGuardia. read more

The cafeteria food is over priced and has absolutely no taste. I paid $5.63 for a brisk ice-tea and 4 cheese sticks (which was extremely salty), do they have staff that taste this food they make before it's sold??? For the same price you can get a full meal at "Jamaica market", which host foods from various regions. The only reason I gave Aladdin-caffeteria 2 stars is because of convenience....the food simply SUCKS!! read more

By the end of the day I left in tears. The staff didn't know what they were doing not to mention passive aggressive.

The WORST. the absolute worst. I paid $70 to apply to this school. I called the admissions office to check the status of my application. I asked to speak to someone in charge and was directed to a woman named 'Frankie.' She gave me her office # and told me to call back in 15 minutes (coincidentally, after they were closed). Anyway, i called and called and left voicemails - NO answer. Everytime I call the admissions office they ask me to come in in-person even after I've told them several times I don't live in New York. Anyway, seeing as though it's impossible to apply to this school from out of state I won't be going here. You guys SUCK BALLS. read more

I graduated from York College in 2014 and I wanted to return to take some science courses and I had looked them up to see the class schedules but I never registered for them. The program apparently did enroll me. I decided not to take classes there at that time for the summer of 2018, but then in November of 2018, I started receiving bills saying that I owed $2,300.00 for classes that they claimed I had registered for. They never notified me prior to the classes starting or anytime during the summer of 2018, or maybe I would have had the chance to drop the classes or go to them to take them. I called the registrar and the bursar and they said that I must have put the classes in my cart, which means that I had enrolled, and that I could complete a Tuition Liability Waiver Form, which I did and emailed it to them. However, my account was sent to a collection agency even before the Tuition Liability Waiver was reviewed, which is unethical and against their own rules. I have tried to get my transcripts to go to a different school but they can legally hold them hostage until I pay them. I'm probably going to hire a lawyer to get their help and go through the city and state department to have this removed. Historically, I have always applied for financial aid using the FAFSA, and I didn't that year, so it should be easy to show that I didn't intend on taking the classes. I was just browsing for the schedule, and it did say on the page that courses not paid for but remained in the cart would be removed automatically. This is very upsetting and I know that I'm not the only student that this has been done to. It seems like an attack on the underprivileged, and it's extremely unfair. read more

This college is horrible for many reasons. Although it is a decent cuny i guess, it is located in a horrible neighborhood of Queens, specifically Jamaica. Next, the cafeteria is awful. Everything is overpriced and the cashiers dont give the right change so they can make profits for themselves. Lastly, the decor of the campus and interior of the college is so dead. The colors are bland and uninviting and the campus police sucks. Theyre all out of shape with horrible attitudes. 90% of them dont care and use their phones anyways. Horrible environment tbh. read more

The school's prof are not bad at all. They make sure you understand the topic and work with you if you need any help. However the school itself needs a lot of work to be done. The begin with, the tuition for all Cuny's are all the same and as it seems York doesn't put the money for the school's benefit. The staff, other then the prof are very slow and most of the time barely know how to help you. The School microwaves are discussing as we'll. Comparing to other schools there isn't much to be a part of which sucks because then the students don't get a full on college experience. Over all I would say the atmosphere is depressing. read more

The well -equipped Department of Chemitry at York College (and its fabulous faculty) has afforded me with an exceptional preparation for graduate school. Thanks to rigorous courses and meaningful undergraduate research experiences at York, I was able to successfully complete a Ph.D. in Biochemistry at Howard University. The same is true for the vast majority of York students who have majored in STEM fields. My years at YC as a Chemistry major (and Poli Sci minor), and member of the men's intercollegiate volleyball team have been very gratifying. read more

This college is unfortunately a joke, the quality of the education here is not valued properly due to the immaturity of the students ruining the vibe of the college. Also, not a safe area to commute or be around in general, too many suspicious events going around and lots of rowdy people everywhere you go. The students on this campus for the most part are not there to learn, they act up during the college lectures and do things that disrupt the lecture time. Professors are also rude and unprofessional, what you see is what you get basically. With the mix of rowdy/immature students and unprofessional/rude professors, you have a mix of a bad and uncomfortable learning environment, that is the reality of this college. If you have morals and are a serious individual, please do not attend this college. Deviate from this area and find a better learning environment for one's sanity, the warning has been listed. read more

Welcome to YORK ZOO This school is terribly bad! please do not waste your time here. NO ONE cares here. and the people that work here are absolutely dumb. They will transfer you all over the place for no reason at all, besides the fact that they don't want to help you. I really wished someone informed me about this school before i entered this trap. This is basically your senior year in high school all over again. It's rare to find a good teacher here. Today i was walking to the library and saw a pair of panties on the floor. This school is disgusting and i wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. You are lucky if you find someone that has some type of sense that can help you in this school if not you will struggle. PLEASE find a better school this place is terrible, and they do not care about there students, i promise this place is a waist of time. please Take my word read more

The Summer Camp run by York College CUNY's Continuing Education Department was such a colossal waste of my hard-earned money this year. Instead of notifying me that they did not have enough children to create a group for my son, they stuck him in a group with much younger children (4 years younger) where he did very little during his time there. This was his last year in summer camp and he was so disappointed. The pool & Computer programming, which were advertised as the highlight of the programs, either we're not offered, or offered to such a minimal level that the children got nothing from the experience. An attempt to discuss concerns with the director met with a blank stare where he informed me that he would share my concerns with those above him. It's the end of the year and I still have not heard from them. read more

I've never dealt with a more unprofessional school than York. Dealing with them is a nightmare. One staff member in particular, Sharon Hawkins from the Health Department, is the absolute worst person to deal with. Asking for her assistance is like asking her for a kidney. She will take anything you say personal and attack you for needing something repeated or asking a quick question. On one occasion I had to hang up the phone on her due to her being rude and unprofessional. I let her talk to her own self that way. She is just an awful, uneducated, unprofessional person. If you have to deal with her, I am sorry in advance. Try to find a way around having to deal with her, save yourself the trouble! She is always angry. You have to be rude to her because that's how she communicates. If you don't have the proper paperwork, you might as well transfer out. She doesn't care about your educational goals. If you're missing even a date, she won't let you move on to the next step of the registration process. And I assumed colleges care about their students' education. I had to get a higher-up involved and my issue was resolved in my case, and it was resolved rather quickly. The Provost is also another rude, unprofessional staff member. He, too, does not care about his students' educational goals. His name is Melentitis- something. The last step is to go to him, when experiencing registration issues, and he will basically tell you no. He has no compassion for students in the last year of their education trying to finish their major. I'm pretty sure it is his job to deny students with whatever they are dealing with. For someone in the position he is in, I would expect him to be pro-students. It seems like it's his job to be against his students. If he tells you no, there is no way around. He's the last step, and he's quite a failure. There is one staff member in particular, Grace Ann-Prescod, who is an absolute pleasure to work with. She will help out even though it's not her area. If it wasn't for her, I would not continue to attend this school. She is such a delight to communicate with. She gives York hope. I highly recommend searching for her contact information and asking her for assistance. She will help you the best way she can. The bursars office does not pick up the phone. They just don't. I was told by someone in another department that they are hard to reach and that you're better off going in person for assistance. If you work a 9-5 like I do, that's impossible. So you have to call them repeatedly to get a hold of them. My class was cancelled. I called the Bursar's office numerous of times with no luck. I had a refund check just sitting there, and no one was answering the phone. I tried around 1pm with my work phone and got through. Overall: an unprofessional school. There's no one answer; there are conflicting answers to just about everything. When you can't find a solution, get a higher up involved. read more

I was attending a dance recital on Sunday June 10, 2018 at 5pm. I was sitting in my seat and about an hour in a half into the show the usher comes to me to ask to see my ticket and then tells me I am in the wrong seat. She proceeded to show me to my right seat but there were people sitting in my seat. So she was going to make them move and they came as a group. So there was an empty seat so I was asked if I wanted to sit in it. First of all the show started at 5pm so if people are coming late they should have not been let in it is disturbing to people already seated. The ushers should be in place to show people to their seats. Ushers in place to check tickets at the door and ushers on the floor to show people their seats. The seats are not in order you have different sides with different numbers so show people to the correct seats so that there is no confusion even if people come late! York College has to do better with seat assignments and their ushers need to do their jobs. Why let people in if the show already started? Or at least be kind to show people to the correct seats before the show starts read more

Currently attending York college and was told today that york college will not fund my tap financial aid. Last semester I took a break(one semester) to take care of something personal but I did re admitted myself on time. 2 weeks before spring semester starts I received an email from the satisfactory academic committee stating I'm not qualify for unknown reasons and was told I took long to respond but it was them who notified me on Jan 14. Please note I wasn't on any academic probation what so ever and only have 2 semesters to graduate. I handed in all paperwork along with a personal letter stating all this and still got rejected. Bascially I have to pay for the rest of the semester with little money I have. I really thought we lived in a state which offers free education and I'm toally disappointed in our system. Staff who dealt my situation was very rude and dissimive. read more

Im honestly here to help someone else. Because there was no review when i was looking. I enrolled in the Dental Assisting Chairside program at York College and i regret it a bit. You don't become certified and the class doesn't give you materials to take home, you dont wear scrubbs, theres no dummys to practice on at all. It's all lecture! The teacher is very fast and shes nice but not a good class. You sit there for 3 hours looking at power points and they give no breaks! It was 1700 dollars and i regret wasting my time and money. read more

It's a decent school located in Jamaica. The neighborhood isn't so great around the school but the actual school isn't too bad. I feel like the biology department in this school is seriously lacking. A lot of the professors in this field are very rude and focus on their own thing more than their students. The chemistry department on the other hand is very competent and helpful. The professors in this department are mostly very nice and accommodating of their students. They want them to succeed. The facilities are somewhat clean but are outdated a bit. The library can get very loud so it might be hard to study. Very affordable though. Parking is hard to find on the streets but York has a private lot which only costs 90 dollars a semester. Overall this school is not for the students that prefer to have a life on campus. This school is for students that come to class and leave. Overall 3.5 out of 5. Enjoy. read more

Please, please, please save yourself! DO NOT ATTEND THIS SCHOOL. It is disgusting! They are also extremely disorganized. The staff at the bursar and admissions and registrar offices are bitter and rude. No one helps you with anything. Took them 3 months to evaluate my credits to be transferred. A lot of people said the same. They lose your paperwork. Coming to this school was the biggest mistake of my life. Most professors don't seem to know what they are doing. So dirty and ghetto. Do not give this school your time or money. Save that for Hunter college or Baruch or maybe even Queens college. This school looks and feels like a jail, it's a total shithole. I will always regret wasting the past 4 months of my life coming here. If i could give it 0 stars i would. There are so many other CUNY schools that are great. I went to Hunter and boy, what a difference. The professors there are so knowledgeable and dedicated. Please think long and hard before applying or attending this school. You deserve better! DO NOT SETTLE FOR THIS POOR EXCUSE FOR A SCHOOL. read more

THIS SCHOOL WILL FIND EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO SCREW YOU OVER. I'm transferring out of here to go to a better CUNY school and for some reason, York had a series of bursar stops on my account. MIND YOU, I have paid my tuition IN FULL and then some. And there were about 4-5 stops all from bursar given in a timespan of a few weeks. I call bursar to hear a woman tell me how to stops are just there and isn't going to affect anything but clearly it did because the other CUNY school couldn't file my application until the holds were cleared. WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU BUT A BUNCH OF HOLDS ON MY ACCOUNT FOR NO REASON? This school is utter nonsense. The school is run by a bunch of morons. Invest you time and money at a REAL COLLEGE. This school is a joke. Now I have to wait a couple days for the hold to clear so I can apply somewhere else. read more
