The tour guide was friendly; although I didn't engage in any conversations with the students they did not look at all intimidating but instead rather approachable.

Excellent - The students were friendly and encouraged us to ask questions. They gave me an honest and realistic view of the CC and not just "The school is wonderful!" spiel so prevalent in

The students were all very respectful and most of them were very happy with their college experience so far. They were willing to answer specific questions regarding their major or classes in general.

I really didn't meet anyone outside of the team, the other students all seemed to have there own lives and didn't really care to wonder who I was.

The students I saw were friendly and courteous, but they were few in number. They all seemed to be in a hurry. It was apparent that the real social life wasn't on campus, and that everyone was fanning out into NYC.

I visited on a Friday in April and a Monday in July, there weren't too many students to be found on either visit. I was politely helped when I asked a random student where to find a building, though.
