Student review [#90183] for Art and Design
at The City College of New York- CCNY

When I applied to City College in high school, I’ll be honest…I applied because my best friend goes there. I was very much like “Wherever I go works for me.” You could imagine my shock when I got in. For me, I didn’t feel like I had the best grades in high school, so I was happy to go to such a good college. My financial aid covers it all well, which is even better! I got into the SEEK program too, which assigns me an advisor who is there for me during my whole time in college. During my first semester, Dr. Marie Nazon helped me find my classes, and all the seek students had 2 classes together so we could make friends! It was amazing. One professor that stood out the most to me is Richard Calichman. He was my japanese teacher for 2 semesters, and he is the most sweetest, kind, funny, and understanding professor ever. He really made the language fun and easy! I would retake his class 10 more times if I could! The community in CCNY is unlike any other, and with so many clubs, work studies, and just amazing professors, I would literally recommend this school to all my friends and their mothers. I love it here. Also they have fun dances and carnivals, which is sweeet! CCNY for the win!
