<p>I agree with Gasdoc. </p>
<p>I think the City University of New York (CUNY) system ranges from average to good. The main problem I see with CUNY is that they have to accept most of the students the NYC school system spits out. Bright students that choose to attend CUNY and/or can’t afford other universities find themselves among many unprepared, unmotivated students (unless they choose the Honors programs offered throughout CUNY schools).</p>
<p>Personally, I think CUNY professors are knowledgeable and helpful and if one takes a look at the faculty of certain CUNY schools, like CCNY, one will notice many of them come from top US institutions.</p>
<p>My belief is that if a particular school has a reputation for churning out poorly prepared graduates, sooner or later, that institution will shut down. At least, that’s my belief.</p>
