Anyone visited CUNY
« on: March 20, 2010, 11:31:07 AM »
Curious to hear other people's impressions of the school.  Anyone sit in on a class, and if so how'd you find it to be?  Trying to suss out the overall academic feel of CUNY.  Seemed laid-back, homey, etc...but was only there for a few hours.  I watched a Contracts class and (this could have just been the teacher, or the particular day I was there) it did seem a little more on the easygoing lecture, rather than dialogue, side.  I know law school's law school, and no matter how collegial the place, the overall experience is still going to be challenging... and that maybe the difference, academically speaking, between a school like CUNY and, say, Cardozo is sort of hair-splitting.  In other words, the material at these schools is more or less the same; it's more just a question of you getting out of it what you put in...up to a degree.  Thoughts?

CUNY seems like an amazing, progressive place. I may end up there this fall. I visited a couple of weeks ago and fell in love. I really like how they are so student-friendly, and the high emphasis they place on diversity.
