Be wary of this school if you are planning to attend. If you planning to attend, do not go as a potential STEM major. I can speak mostly for the chemistry, biology, and English departments. The chemistry department is a boys club. The lecture professors are all tenure and do not care for their students. If you try to complain about blatant racism and disrespect the department laughs it off as though it is nothing. The biology department is a mess. Heavily underfunded and the pre-med head is always telling students to sway from medicine into nursing or something else. The head never attempts to help you along unless you have a 3.75 GPA. The English department is the best. They have independent tutoring and great professors. If you are a pre-med go for a nonscience major because it's OK! Go for a psychology major (highly recommend) or something and minor in biology. Enjoy college especially if you have to go to this one. But if you have a choice go to another CUNY. Trust me.
It was very engaging at fist but then we did the online courses and everything just felt boring and non-engaging. None of the students had their cameras on and it was just the professor talking for 1-2 hours. This allows us students to be in the comfort of our homes and do anything besides listening to the lecture. However when the classes were in person, there was an actual student life to be lived. People where all around campus, classes were filled with students that payed attention, and the feeling of walking off campus was wonderful. This coming semester, spring 2022, will be the first semester back with fully in person classes. I am hopeful for the pre-Covid times.
Online experience hasn't been a complete disaster, but it's a bit of a "dealer's choice" on which video platform a professor chooses (to which I understand) - it just makes it a little disorienting trying to keep up with which professor uses which video service. The semester is young, and I'm sure I'll get a routine down. One issue is certain department's usage of 3rd-party homework applications such as WebAssign or OWLv2 (which are both part of Cengage Learning) - the cost of those "surprise" programs are expensive and are not included in the tuition/class costs in the beginning. So, after you're in class the instructor tells you about this 3rd-party homework program - that you, the student, must pay for - and it is MANDATORY to purchase or you will automatically fail the class. I do not think it is right to make any student pay for the "privilege" of doing/turning in their homework.
