College Advice |
Question: Can anyone tell me what community college(s) here in New York?(I live in Yonkers) are "a bang for your buck" which gives you a great education for your money and helps you to another college? I've only applied to Laguardia Community College but after this site http://www.laguardiacorruption.com/ I don't know. I was thinking of Westchester Community College...but I'm not sure. I want to join the Honors program. What about all the other community colleges at CUNY?20 months ago
Best AnswerFor you, the biggest bang for your buck will probably be Westchester Community College. It's a large college with a lot of classes, it's not far from where you live, and it has more of a "real college" feel to it than do a lot of the CUNY community colleges. You could also look at Rockland Community College, which isn't all that far from Yonkers. It also has kind of a "collegy" feel to it. And as the other poster suggested, Bronx cc might be a good one to look at. It's really pretty, and it's an easy commute from Yonkers. But you absolutely should visit any school you're interested in, to get a feel for the place. Visit Laguardia as well, because you want to form your own opinion of the place, as well as looking at websites. That website does appear to be by a group of people holding a serious grudge against Laguardia, and if I were a prospective student, I'd keep that in mind, but also do a campus visit as I tried to form my own opinion, because you don't know what agenda those people have. Call before you do the visit to see if they offer an actual campus tour, and to see if you can meet with someone in admissions to ask questions of and discuss the honors program with, as well as to try to sit in on a class, if you can. |
