The bureaucracy is unbelievable at the CUNY schools. Each and every single semester, you will be given weeks of headaches, frustration, and sheer aggravation at the idiocy behind the administrative offices, where even the simplest tasks such as obtaining an ID card and paying one's tuition bill are seemingly impossible.

This school is corrupt. Most professors will kill students future dreams.

I am really emotional right now. I just got a reply from Director of Data Science program that they are not going to to do anything about Bon Sy's Financial misconduct. Director Ji told us that it is academic freedom of Bon Sy to steal the students' intellectual properties to be used in his company, SIPPA Solutions LLC.

This school offers students no support of any kind. The faculty do not even act interested in their students work. A very discouraging place.

The WORST teachers. Unsupportive, ego-driven, and unskilled as educators and god help us as advisors! Maybe they were once "good" within their chosen fields BUT they should never have been hired to teach! Most are there for life. Since as a city worker, they will never be terminated. Think long and hard before deciding to come here.
