I’m going to be transferring from a CUNY community college to a four year school to finish a degree in Civil Engineering and I’m wondering if I should put in an application for NYU-Poly, or stick with CUNY and just go to City College.

My impression up til now has been Poly is better than City, but not by enough to justify the tuition difference, however I imagine NYU has been working fast to bring Poly’s quality more in line with its other schools and I’ve heard they’re moving up in the US news rankings.

If you’re familiar with Poly, would you say there’s been a significant improvement? Would you recommend spending the extra money for it?
