Hunter is a great school, you are continuously challenged, and SOME of the professors are great. They just opened up an AMAZING tutoring center on the 7th floor library which is free and has helped me soo much!
The only thing that really gets in the way of this school is their financial office, bursar, registrar (technically the most important ones), but from my experiences they have tried to solve it adequately. I LOVE the diversity n this school, which was one of the main reasons I chose this school, besides their great in-state tuition.
Food at Hunter can be a bit expensive, which I heard is because everything is kosher, but their regular fries, wraps, and chicken teriyaki are great.

The education here is great. The teachers know what they are talking about, there are a lot of resources, and it is an affordable education! The school is located by Central Park East and the 6 train takes you directly to the school. Most students commute to school because living on the upper east side can be pricey, but you're in NYC so not living by school isn't a big deal.
The administration and registering for classes can be a nightmare. I have waited on 1-2 hour long lines at the office of admissions and financial aid several times - usually due to an error or oversight by the school. Registering for classes can also be a nightmare since only 1 person does class registration (if she does not like you or she is in a bad mood - good luck!).

Hunter College is a pretty decent school. Academics are great, top notch for the price, great location too. Professors can be a hit or miss as for grading, but all of them definitely know what they're talking about. It can be stressful at times if you're a commuter (which most people are) with getting around and making it to class on time. But the plus side is, you're right near central park! And a 6 train away from everything. Clubs are definitely really active on site, with a lot of bake sales and free food to keep your broke tummy full. The little events held by the clubs and USG are mostly the only real social points of the school year. Besides these events, Hunter can be a really antisocial school- everyone's bustling around on a New York minute trying to get their own stuff done, without much time to socialize. If I was staying in the city, I would probably choose to go to this school all over again but I'd much rather dorm at an away school, just to get the full college experience, I kind of regret not moving away for school, but everyone's different.
