Thinking about attending Hunter College. Any insights?

Looking into Hunter College as a potential option after high school. Can anyone share their experiences or advice about the academics and campus life there? Want to hear from students who are currently attending or recently graduated.

As someone who's worked with several students who have attended Hunter College, I can provide some insights. Hunter College, part of the City University of New York (CUNY) school system, is known for its strong emphasis on liberal arts education. It offers a wide variety of majors, with pre-med, nursing, social sciences, and visual/performing arts programs often cited as standout options.

Academically, the professors have a reputation for being knowledgeable in their respective fields. Classroom environments can be competitive due to the school's rigorous curriculum, but there are a myriad of resources available to support student success, including tutoring and career services.

Hunter College is also well-known for its diverse student body. While attending, you’ll have the opportunity to meet and learn from classmates with varied backgrounds, views, and experiences, which can enrich your academic and personal growth.

Given its location on the Upper East Side of Manhattan in New York City, campus life at Hunter College is a bit unique as it's essentially integrated into the city itself. Because of this, you'll find plenty of opportunities for professional networking, internships, and cultural experiences.

However, it's important to keep in mind that campus life at Hunter might not be the traditional college experience you'd find at a rural or suburban college, but rather an urban and commuter-focused experience. This is something that appeals to many students, but it might not be the best fit for everyone.

Your decision should be based on your comfort level with large cities, career goals, and the specific programs you're interested in. If possible, you might want to consider speaking with current students or alumni or visiting the campus to get a feel for it yourself.
