My overall opinion of my school is that they are very concerned with helping and seeing the students excel in our studies and extra-curriculum activities.

Overall I like CSI. There are things that need to be changed definitely, my biggest pet peeve with CSI is that 1. the lighting system at night is terrible. its just not bright enough on our campus. Also the fact that many departments are now not allowing students to opt into a class after the class is full, even if the professor is okay with it.

This city college is located on Staten Island but as soon as you enter campus, you feel like you're in the country. With acres and acres of land and trees throughout the campus, there is a feeling of open space and nature; things that you rarely find in New York City boroughs. The classroom sizes are small (about 30) and the teachers are fantastic. The only trouble arises during registration. Because it is a city college, in a heavily populated city, there is an influx of students and a limited number of seats per class. Although this is very frustrating, it is important to tolerate this disadvantage in order to benefit from the small class sizes.
