High School Seniors
If you're in H.S. and you want CUNY. Apply for Macaulay Honors. I had the chance and blew it because I decided to be stupid and just a little lazy. Not worth it. If you get in CUNY's program it's free. You just have to sacrifice some time to write two essays and suck up to your teachers. So since I'm already in and not competing, might as well advertise it.
The Beginning
I'm a freshman out of high school so I don't know a damn~ thing about the college life. Fun stuff. I started Queens College August 26th this year.
I chose it because
1. financial reasons(and apparently i don't qualify for finacial aid which is bullshit) and I'm not spending money until graduate school because come one. That's where it all counts if I'm planning to continue my education.
2. I wanted CUNY with a campus life (CSI is too hard to get to)
3. I liked it.
There are a lot of mixed reviews about Queens College. Quite honestly I don't give a shit about them. I'm starting from scratch and this is my experience so I have no bias. I could have given my all to Hunter or City but I didn't. People are different and differ in appeals. Hunter is in the city and quite honestly i feel its too rigid to me. City doesn't have that spacial quality i wanted. John Jay was down the street from my old High School and I passed by it a few times before deciding I really wasn't into them (i think the vibes from their students did it for me). Sorry John Jay. Brooklyn college was another i could go to (right down the street), my mother graduated there, she loved it, but it's eh to me probably because my mother went.
School is going pretty well so far. I have school Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays which isn't too bad. Taking five classesapparently i'm taking too many. My classes are good but history....i need to work my ass off for that class.Books are a rip off. I had to buy a thin Poli Sci book for $105 dollars. It was the size of InStyle Magazine. Another book was $30. Bought it for $5. I'll post the list of places to get books
Anthropology with Professor Birth is amazing. Take him. It's only been two weeks in his class but I can remember everything from lecture and hes engaging.
Drama is also amazing.
We'll see how things go from here.
