Some office staff have bad attitudes. Staff in nursing program are terrible and they aren't helpful. Nursing program at the private school I transferred from was way better. Technology never works (ironic), but the professors in the business department are good. food is mediocre

I went to nursing school here. Did my Associates and Bachelors of Science in Nursing both at city tech and highly recommend this school.
Funny that a lot of these bad reviews are from students with bad grades who didn't get in or didn't get into the program of their choice. Listen, this school is competitive and it doesn't have the newest computers because it's CHEAP. If you are smart you are going to get a great education for FREE or very cheap while our neighbors at NYU or LIU are paying 30k per semester and will graduate with a ton of debt while ultimately earning the same salary as someone who graduated from City Tech.
So this is what you do: be mature, get good grades , get in and get out!! The entitlement of kids these days is unreal. People at the admissions office don't HAVE to be nice to you. It would be great if they were, but why do you care?? Get your stuff done and move on with your life with no debt. Leaving bad reviews based on Long lines or whatever is stupid. This school is offering something great for FREE if you get financial aid or much cheaper than other schools. Take advantage of that! I was making $18k a year before school and now make $8OK a year thanks to my cheap nursing education from city Tech. Wake up kids!response / report this review -

See phrase in ALL CAPS for abbreviated review
If the college's leaders put more money into maintenance and improvement of the various resources the school provides it could be a lot better. But it seems like those who's responsibility it is for such issues have no care or concern. In my opinion the school would be much better off if it raised their academic standards for admission and not simply accept the entire population of New York city so that there isn't as much strain on the professors who teach there. As a result, the quality of education can improve and more students will graduate and lead lucrative careers. More teachers will want to come and teach at the school and successful alumni will donate money back to the college. However this is not the case. Since this college has provided little to enhance my learning environment and increase my success I see no reason to reward or donate back to them. I am grateful for the handful of professors who do geniunely care about teaching and want to make sure their students are successful But more often than not they are just here for a paycheck.
The way this colleges board thinks about making money for the school is so counterintuitive and leaves little to the benefit of the students. They see it as the more students they can accept the more tuition that can be paid to them. More students puts more strain on the scarce amount of professors that do teach at the college. This leads to unhappy professors that don't care about their students and probably shouldnt be teaching in the first place. As a result less students graduate and seem to indefinitely attend the school for well over 4 years thus paying more tuition to a college that DOES LITTLE TO ENHANCE THE QUALITY OF EDUCATION. I hope my message comes across clearly in this review. I have a lot more to say but if the college would like to make a change I'm free to be contacted and willing to make more suggestions.

I am a currently a student here, and I must say I cant wait for the year to end. I got into other cunys like Lehman, York, and a few others, but I decided to go here since many of my friends were coming here. Worst decision ever, everything is nasty here. The building is very old, terrible staff, very unclean, and just depressing. I feel like I am in high school. But at least the teachers here are great, friendly, fair and helpful. Don't come here, seriously, I wouldn't want my little sister to come here. Cant wait to transfer. Did I mention that only a few students actually care about their academic life, the others are just here because they have nothing better to do. OH THE GIRLS ARE AMAZING.
Update: So my first year at City tech is over and today I transferred and was admitted to The city College of NY through direct admissions. I can't wait to start at a more revered school. My time at City tech was a roller-coaster ride of emotions. I would get depressed as soon as I walked into the school. The mood, the lighting, the atmosphere, all of it felt dead. The whole time I was just hoping for a quick year, get over 24 credits and nothing less than 3.5 gpa so that I can transfer easily. I am happy everything worked out for me, for those who only got into this school, don't feel down on yourself, work hard, get A's, and you can move unto better things. It's not a school of many serous students, yes you can find pockets of conscious students, but more often than not you will only find laid back, careless people. I personally can only function with highly motivated crowds. City tech is good enough to do well in, but if you want more out of your college experience in my humble opinion you wont find it here. The school has an exceptionally high acceptance rate, which means they accept almost anyone with a pulse.response / report this review -

Second year student at this school and frankly, it does not deserve any more than 3 stars. The professors here are just like any typical college. Some professors can be good and some can be bad but they both do their job. The student community is super dead, most people will try to prevent talking with each other. The cafeteria and book store are excellent and so are the most things but, I can't give this school any higher than a 3-star because of how rude the Financial Aid Office and the Admission Office are. One day I went to the Financial Aid Office, I came up to this man who had buzz-cut and he wore a button down shirt with his sleeves rowed up. I explained to him the situation that I was in and after he explains the process of fixing my issue and I said okay. He literally scolded me saying, "Look, you know, I don't know if you understand if you don't give me some feed back." I felt somewhat disrespected because of the tone he was talking to me right after I literally said "okay". What more do you want me to say? The second time I came to the Financial Aid Office, I had no choice but to talk to this man again to fix another issue. I explain the issue and I told him what my adviser had said. In response, he said to me, "And?? So?". That day angered me because I was trying to seek for help, not to get annoyed. I believe there should cameras at the Financial Aid Office on every computer. I don't know how City Tech finds this acceptable but the Financial Aid Office literally looks like they run a company. They look completely dead when you speak to them, regardless of who it is and the individual I just mentioned was super nasty. Some times I just wonder if it was just because of my ethnic background or was it because that man was just a total jack ass.. Otherwise, I think this college is good in other terms. If any City Tech administrators read this, please consider survey sheets for each of these employees. The Financial Aid Office is literally the rotten part of City Tech and it needs to perish for the better sake of the college. Thank you.

This school deserves ZERO stars but unfortunately you have to give them one in order to leave a review. Today was the FIRST and LAST time I will EVER step foot into "city tech". I stood on line for admissions for about half an hour, not too bad. When I got to the window there were 2 older ladies sitting there HATING their jobs. Both women were EXTREMELY RUDE !!! My first encounter was with "Dorothy", she had a nasty attitude, talking to me as if I was stupid. When I got asked to hand her the money order I was confused because I had called the day before and the woman I spoke to said they accept cash. I left city tech and ran to the post office to make the money order at 3:40pm because the office closed at 4:30pm. when I came back to the office Dorothy was busy with another student so she asked the woman next to her to take care of me (of course in a rude manner). I did not get the second woman's name unfortunately, she has extremely short hair, bald almost she is an older woman. That woman's attitude is off the charts. She asked me for my money order I had it ready she asked for my ssn and my documents, looks me up in the system and says extremely loud with a sarcastic tone and face "you got denied from this school , your gpa is not good enough here .. why do you think we denied you? Did you think you were going to get in now ? Like I'm not understanding" I responded to her "why are you saying it like that, that's extremely offensive" and she replied " what's offensive? It's true". I was extremely embarrassed, a line behind me of kids waiting to speak with the same woman who yelled that I wasn't good enough for this school. I am disappointed and disgusted with the type of staff this school has they're so discouraging. The way they talk to students trying to apply is not acceptable. I would not recommend anyone to apply directly you will get the same women and they will be just as rude and disgusting as they were to me. I gave student affairs a call so hopefully they will take care of the problem.

Admission staffs are so rude and impatient! I received the email regarding my application, and I was told if I have any question, feel free to email. I have sent several emails, after 1 week, no response. So I call the admission office, that woman is extremely impatiently! She interrupted me many time! And just let me wait for the response via email. In fact, that problem can be solved easily by anyone in admission office. 👎🏻

Currently studying in this college. One of the best colleges under The City University of New York. Everyone is friendly. and a lot of opportunities hang around the college. A great place to start a career.

My son filled out his financial aid in march 2016 and has not received his financial aid which is still under review by the financial aid office, a year later. The women in the financial aid office are horrible. The administrative staff is horrible. They have very bad attitudes, they misinform the students and make mistakes without taking responsibility for them. The school is a rip off. They prey on the innocence of the young adults, whom are eager to start their educational career. It's a shame that an institution of higher education is burden with ingnorant "adults." Parents be warned.
The condition of the school is as stated in a previous post very accurate. Not an environment for thriving and studying very gloomy and dismal.response / report this review
