I did the advisement meeting thing and I see my courses for fall 2026 on CUNYFirst.

I do remember in the meeting they said that first year first semester students will have a hold that prevents us from enrolling in classes ourselves. The advisors make our classes and they already have done that for the first semester.

Can someone from Brooklyn tell me what happens with that hold? Do I have to do anything now or is it gonna go away automatically?

I'm taking an async class at BMCC, and the professor's obviously using AI to create documents and grade papers. Their communication swings wildly from typo-prone sentence fragments to incredibly articulate and immaculately formatted paragraphs with all the AI tells.

I know adjucts and non-tenure professors are struggling, but this feels wrong. Anyone else experiencing this?

Hey, guys! I am currently thinking about going to school in NYC (which is a 12 hour drive from where I live currently, so that's a big adjustment!) and I'd love your advice on which colleges are the best (particularly for fine arts programs). I'd also love an idea on how expensive it would be to have a dorm as opposed to living in an apartment (I have no friends/roommates). Is it plausible to up and leave, get a job or two, AND attend college? Thanks so much.

Attention CUNY Innovators & Alchemists,

It’s time to stop experimenting in the dark and start brewing a real business. New Venture Accelerator 1 applications are now OPEN! NVA1 is FREE and the perfect environment to transform that raw potential into liquid gold. CUNY students and recent alumni will turn their ideas into reality through hands-on workshops and mentorship. 

Don't wait for the due date, we’re admitting participants on a rolling basis.  

Deadline: Friday, April 24

hey!! me and my friend are building a big shared list of NYC/LI spots (cafes, restaurants, parks, museums, etc). I don’t post on Reddit but we want to find more people from different areas and build a bigger list.

making friends at CUNY is kinda hard since everyone just goes to class and leaves 😭 so we wanted to make something that helps people actually explore the city + meet others. Instead of scrolling forever trying to find spots, you can just open the map and have a bunch of good places already saved, whether it’s somewhere to study, eat, or just chill in between classes

We’re hoping it turns into more of a community, and if enough people join we’d love to plan group hangouts + actually meet people

dm me if you want the link + you can invite friends too!!

Curious to know how this worked with the labs vs lecture. Thanks!!

i’m graduating high school this year and got a offer from csi for their mechanical engineering bachelors program. i wanted something affordable and close to home since i live in brooklyn. i always wanted to major in mechanical engineering but am scared to go to csi for it. what would getting a job look like or getting a internship during my time there. i want to know if it’s a good college for someone who wants to make it far in mechanical engineering.

were they told to get out over break? there are barriers there now. that truck was here for a long time. is it temporary?

People kept pushing the idea of therapy down my throat because I have been through and still am going through a lot. I am doing the school therapy and she goes on vacation 2 sessions in and then gives me a date that doesn’t even work. I just feel like I’m let down often and in general, I have had nothing but bad experiences at this college. I only have her until late June since I’m transferring and she has to do this. Why give me her if she knew she was going on vacation in the very beginning? The very beginning is the most important time. I knew it sounds stupid, but I am a little let down.

thx

Has anyone on this sub ever been excepted?? I’m thinking of applying but there’s like no posts on Reddit of this program 😭

Like the title says, has anyone gotten off the waitlist for Macaulay be it John Jay, Hunter, Baruch or any of the other CUNYS? I am well aware that they will must likely start releasing them after May first well into the summer but I’m sure if anyone has denied their admission that Macaulay would send out to someone on the waitlist.

Has anyone applied through emerging talent? I've seen almost everyone share their experience through CUNY x MTA, so I was wondering if anyone has gotten anything for Summer 26.

Im a freshmen at Brooklyn college and was contemplating transferring or taking a class at Ccny. With the construction happening on campus, looks at Ccny is like looking at heavennnn, but I have heard that it’s hard to make friends in Ccny. So honestly which cuny is better? (Campus, social life, and academic wise)

Recently got accepted into LaGuardia and City Tech - I plan on studying radiology. I plan to commute since Im from LI rather than dorming, but overall I want to have a good college experience . Which one has the better program for radiology?

Hi guys, I'm wondering if it's too early for any financial aid to show, or if this means I won't be getting any for this summer. I plan on taking two three-credit courses. Last fall and spring, I had enough financial aid/tap to be covered for the whole semester, and the same goes for next fall and spring. I'm attending John Jay and any help would be much appreciated :)
