Tell me about Macaulay Honors at Queens College

@zoosermom

Macaulay, especially in the last couple of years with the terrible economy has attracted a totally different calibre of students than are generally found in a CUNY. It could be a fantastic opportunity for a student who is mature enough to embrace all that NYC has tto offer.

<p>The issue is not the caliber of the Macaulay Honors student…but the non-honors students at Queens College with whom he’ll be taking many of his undergrad courses. </p>

<p>The non-honors students I knew who attended Queens College are barely average students at best in comparison to those who ended up at schools like Northwestern or Berkeley. </p>

<p>If even some of his classes are going to be with the non-honors students…he may find himself in the same situation as my HS classmate friends where he/she’s pulling A+s without learning much/anything new while the rest of the class is struggling to make Cs.</p>
