Visiting students seemed to like what they saw.
“My Hunter College tour experience was just incredible,” Britana Owens said. I adored how each level was set up and how they could assist with any future issues. For instance, they can assist if I don’t have enough money to cover the tuition. They have noise cancellation rooms where people outside can’t hear me if I’m having a mental breakdown. Overall, I had a great time at the institution, and I found it enjoyable.”
Juceirys Paula also liked the visit. “Hunter College has three nursing programs, a huge library, lots of places to relax, eat, etc.” she said. ” I loved the trip, I would like to visit again.”
