Queens is a great environment. The professors are really helpful and I would encourage all applicants to engage them as much as possible, you will benefit from it. Also don’t be afraid of the weather, though it does get really cold up here especially if you’re a non-New Yorker (or an international student) like myself and you are used to more tropical weather. I come from Puerto Rico, so this was a big change. I can tell you though that everyone finds their niche here eventually, it’s just about staying patient and embracing the college experience and being away from home.
