I have been at City University School of liberal arts since the second semester of my 10th grade year and now I am a senior. Overall I have had a great time at City university it is like a family there and I have learned so many new things than I have learned at the many other schools I have been to. City have many challenges, but one thing they taught me there is to never give up on myself and to always have confidence in myself. My grades has improved major over these couple of years and I'm so proud of myself and would love to say thank you to The City University School of Liberals Arts.
The school has very poor staff. The head of the school [Chancellor] only hires felons and criminals. He also hires his family members as the Dean/President of the school is his brother. The teachers don't teach well. You have a couple who knows how to teach properly and the ones that passes out book assignments and projects to fill up our grade easier without classwork or homework grades being accounted for. No social events and when we do have them, they are very lackluster and boring. No football team. They care more for your attire than your behavior and your performance. Don't send your child here, terrible staff, terrible teachers, closed confined terrible environment overall. Administration is corrupt and money hungry.
My experience at City University School of Liberal Arts has been fun overwhelming. I have attended this school since the 9th grade, but when it became time to transition into a senior, it was very hard to adjust. Also, being a senior comes with great responsibilities which makes things overwhelming. Outside of class, I am hustling hard to try to finish my work and take part of my role as being vice president for the Student Government Association. Overall, you will always get a good outcome if you attend or attended this school.
