Overall
CUNY schools are great for individuals who are career focused and take advantage of opportunities offered by the school. The social life is what you make of it the school won't give you much.

“Major Anthropology Minor#1 Biotechnology/Biochemistry Minor#2 Business and Liberal Arts”

Biotechnology, 2024
Overall
Due to my previous enrollment at another college prior to CUNY, I was already proficient in Information Literacy, Medical Terminology, Anatomy and Physiology, and Computer Technology with the intentions on obtaining my AS in Medical Terminology. After my semester there I discovered my love for science and chemistry and decided to pursue my education in Biotechnology. I was originally a Biotechnology Major at Bronx Community College CUNY. It was a general study and I had to learn every type of Chemistry and Biology. I obtained a 3.88 GPA. I also am in Honors Chemistry and Honors Biology. I completed several courses that includes Communications Public Speaking, with my lowest grade being one B+. I then decided I need more of a challenge and enrolled into Queens College CUNY. There I changed my major to Anthropology Pre-Professional because I wanted to be diverse in all areas of science. I also decided to Minor in Biochemistry which is equivalent to Biotechnology in that university and Minor in Business and Liberal Arts (BALA). IN AUGUST 2020 I completed 2 courses in Anthropology Human Evolution and Business and Society. And now I have a 3.6205 GPA.

If you want to do sightseeing, shopping etc. do it during off-seasons!
Do travelling during off-seasons (tickets can be twice as expensive if not bought in advance or/and for the main season)!
The countries may be similar, however they are not. Everything is different; eg. water, air, washing machines, doors/locks, pasta, .....

Housing
Type of housing: With a family
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: With a family
Why?
CUNY does not provide housing on campus; you shouldn't live all by yourself - family: new friends, care, low costs! maybe later own apartment!!

Personal comments
