I'm looking for some affordable college options in or around NYC. The CUNY system seems promising, it's public and city-based. Does anyone have a list of all the CUNY schools or could shed some light on them?
The City University of New York (CUNY) system indeed offers a range of affordable options, with several institutions located around New York City. There are 11 senior colleges, seven community colleges, and five graduate/professional schools within the CUNY system.
Here's the list:
Senior Colleges:
1. Baruch College
2. Brooklyn College
3. The City College of New York
4. The College of Staten Island
5. Hunter College
6. John Jay College of Criminal Justice
7. Lehman College
8. Medgar Evers College
9. New York City College of Technology
10. Queens College
11. York College
Community Colleges:
1. Borough of Manhattan Community College
2. Bronx Community College

Graduate and Professional Schools:

Each college has its own specialties and areas of focus, so you might want to research each one to gauge which aligns best with your career goals. Population size, campus culture, available majors, and proximity to certain NYC areas can also be deciding factors. Do remember that despite being affordable, the CUNYs are highly respected, especially known for their strong programs in fields like journalism, business, and sciences.
