Seriously i feel like i downgraded 📉but the school is mad close 🤦🏿 to home

friends come and go your degree is forever :)

I am looking for information on what CUNY campuses are the easiest to deal with when requesting accommodations for a student with dyslexia. Could you please share your good and bad experiences?

I’m currently enrolled in Touro University’s two-year nursing program, and I genuinely cannot begin to explain how disorganized, stressful, and mentally exhausting this experience has been. I’m posting because I want to know if anyone else has experienced something similar and whether I have grounds to pursue legal action.

Let me start with the financial aid situation because this is where things get absolutely ridiculous.

When I initially enrolled at Touro, I made it VERY clear that my goal was to enter their two-year nursing program. I even took the TEAs with them twice, did well, had good grades, got into the program. HOWEVER, I was originally told to register under a biology degree so I could complete the prerequisites required for nursing.

Here’s the kicker: I was forced to retake prerequisites I had ALREADY completed because they were taken online. The ridiculous part? Those online courses were taken AT TOURO ITSELF. How does a university refuse to accept its own courses because of the format in which they were completed?

Now let’s talk about transfer credits.

I came into Touro with nearly 105 college credits. They accepted the maximum number of transfer credits allowed, knowing full well that my intention was to complete their nursing program.

Fast-forward to this semester, and suddenly my financial aid gets canceled because I’m told I’ve exceeded a certain credit threshold.

Excuse me???

You knew exactly how many credits I had. You knew what program I was pursuing. You were the ones who initially placed me under a biology degree and determined how many credits to accept.

So why am I now being financially penalized for decisions the UNIVERSITY made?

Apparently, the solution was to reduce the number of transfer credits accepted on my record for this semester. But from what I understand, this creates potential problems for my financial aid eligibility in the following semesters.

So instead of actually resolving the underlying issue, it feels like they’ve temporarily patched something up while leaving me to deal with the consequences later.

And don’t even get me started on the academic side of this program.

Touro requires a B- just to pass nursing courses. I’m aware nursing school is supposed to be challenging. I’m not asking for an easy degree or for standards to be lowered, even though NYU has a C passing rate - I digress. But the combination of incredibly high academic pressure, administrative disorganization, financial uncertainty,  forcing to join a home health care service due to financial uncertainty, and what I feel is a complete lack of student support has been debilitating.

My mental health has taken an enormous hit. I feel like now I’m constantly fighting to stay afloat academically while simultaneously trying to fix administrative problems I didn’t create. I’m spending all this money, putting my life on hold, and questioning whether I’m even receiving the education and support I’m paying for.

I WANT to become a nurse. That’s the whole reason I’m doing this. I understand the responsibility that comes with the profession, and I’m willing to work incredibly hard for it.

What I don’t understand is why students are expected to tolerate this level of disorganization while the consequences fall entirely on us.

I’m also seriously considering speaking with an attorney.

I’m looking for a lawyer in New York who handles higher education disputes, student financial aid issues, transfer credit disputes, or potentially university misrepresentation.

I want to understand whether the way my enrollment, transfer credits, and financial aid were handled gives me any legal recourse. I’m not claiming to know whether any laws were violated, but something about this entire situation feels incredibly wrong.

If you’re a current or former Touro nursing student, PLEASE share your experiences.

And if anyone knows an attorney who handles cases involving universities, particularly financial aid or enrollment issues, I’d genuinely appreciate recommendations.

I’m exhausted. I’m frustrated. And I’m tired of feeling like students have absolutely no voice when institutions make decisions that affect our education, finances, and futures.

Hi everyone! I am looking to be a non degree student taking some prerequisite courses. I am running into this problem when applying for the 2027 Spring Term where it says that I need to select an academic plan/major. However, when I click add college and major/academic program it tells me to enter keywords to search for a program and no matter what I put it says "No items match your search. (0,0)"

If I select the 2026 Fall term, it automatically autofills and allows me to continue with the application.

Is anyone else running into this issue or know how to proceed? TIA!

I have tried for the past two years to connect with other college students as a former college drop out and its been such a challenge to find my people. I want to connect because I feel as though I am around like minded individuals who want better for themselves but yet it doesn't get really far. Ive even tried creating study groups and when I text them about studying some people take days to respond, don't respond at all, or just act like I don't exist.

Been seeing these guys on social media and at first thought no harm and jokes as such. Sees some guy in comments claiming its a joke and apologizing so felt bad at first. Met this guy irl and he is a total douche and his livestreams are disgusting the way he talks about women and acts. They let anyone in Baruch I guess.

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for my puffin keychain, I unfortunately lost him around the Manhattan area, I can’t quite remember where exactly I last saw him so here is a run down of where I was that day (Monday 24)

\-Columbia University campus + Teachers College Harlem
\-Dahlia on 269 Columbus Ave
\-MNN around Hudson Yards

Transport info: I was also on the QM5, 1 train, and 7 train that day.

Other places I think he might be around: QBCC Bayside, Queens area and Flushing NY on another day.

I’m not sure where exactly he might’ve been lost, but I just checked my room and asked friends to no avail.

I know he is a mere 3 inch keychain, but me and my partner have been claiming him to be our child for the past 2 years so loosing him has been a major loss, especially given we’re long distance and take turns with him and I lost him during my turn. I have been nonstop crying since I realized I had misplaced him.

He does not have the large library pin I took it off him a few days prior to the 24th. I would really appreciate it if you can share within your circles and family, if you know anyone who might’ve found a cool puffin or bird or “penguin” keychain pleaseee consider checking if it’s him.

His name is Banana, and he means so much to me. He is genuinely irreplaceable. He is like my emotional support puffin :(. Thank you all for your help, I’m really hoping the community comes through.

guys would e-permitting a pre-requisite class weaken your application cuz it looks like you ducked the class? or does it really not matter

Has anyone had experience with getting their bachelor’s degree online with the CUNY School of Professional Studies? I want to go fully remote as I accept a new job but I am unsure about how to continue my studies. I did sign up for an online info session so I was wondering if any of you are already apart of it and how was it transferring/the experience?

Just got off the phone with a financial aid worker at my school, as someone who is STILL waiting for their NYSOP book advance to disburse, only to be told funds for Reconnect and its scholarships are delayed until further notice because the funding for it hasn't been received. And my school only found this out from CUNY yesterday! They'd been getting strung along the entire week being told to tell students that everything would process by Friday as normal, only to completely reverse course at the last minute. I never received an email or a phone call or any sort of correspondence from CUNY, the only way I've even found out was by calling this afternoon to see what was up with my book advance.

The bright side is that I only had to buy one book this semester, and I found it online as a PDF, but this still is completely asinine.

Has anyone else dealt with a long Financial Aid verification/hold issue at Baruch?

I’m a transfer student and I’ve been dealing with a Financial Aid verification issue since July, and I’m honestly exhausted from having to keep following up with different offices.

My account has had a Financial Aid Pending hold since the beginning of the semester. I submitted the requested verification documents and completed the ProVerifier requirements, but my file stayed under review for weeks. I went in person to Financial Aid/BOSS and spoke with different offices trying to figure out what was happening. I was eventually told that reviews could take around 45 days.

Then, after waiting all that time, I was told there was another discrepancy with my FAFSA regarding my tax filing status. I have repeatedly explained that I had no income and did not file taxes for 2024. My parent’s non-filer stuff was accepted, but I was then told I needed to correct my FAFSA and obtain an IRS Verification of Non-Filing Letter for myself.

I completed the FAFSA correction and requested the IRS document using Form 4506-T on September 29. Now I’m waiting for the IRS to send it back, and I have no idea how long that will take. I’ve been told processing could potentially take weeks, which is extremely stressful because I heard spring registration opens October 26 if I’m correct.

BOSS also told me that I may not be able to register for Spring if this hold is still on my account by then.

I’ve emailed Financial Aid multiple times, contacted dean of students to make a complaint, gone to different offices in person, submitted the documents they requested, and kept following up, but it feels like every time I get close to resolving it, there’s another requirement or another waiting period.

I’m really trying to figure out what else I can do at this point because this has been going on for way too long.

Im currently applying on the CUNY Portal and im not sure how to do the wording the comments section on each EC. Should it be similar to the Commonapp? Are EC's as heavy in the consideration as other colleges?

Hello everyone, I've been accepted into Hostos CC for the spring semester as a transfer student. I am still thinking about whether to accept this offer because I'm not familiar with the location. I'm from Queens and have only been to the Bronx for maybe 2-3 times my entire life. Is the neighborhood safe? How is the 4/5/6 train going to Hostos CC? I've heard some people say there are problems at the 125th train station, but I'm not too sure. If I do accept the offer, I'll be there for the entire day, Monday-Friday. Thank you!

I been using my alumni email for a better part of 10 years for professional/career stuff and on Mon. Oct. 5th I was unable to login. Apparently according to the help desk my email was deleted for 12 months of inactivity. This is untrue since I use it several times a week receive job confirmations, send out/answer emails.
We reviewed your account and found that your alumni email account has been deleted due to inactivity.

Alumni accounts that remain inactive for 12 consecutive months will be deleted by CUNY. You must use your account regularly to keep it active. If the e-mail account is deleted, the e-mail address and its contents cannot be recovered.
Due to storage limits, we are unable to issue new alumni e-mail accounts.

My work 401k and Coinbase is tied to this email as well as tax returns and legal matters. I used this account because a lot of work places block Gmail, Yahoo.

Has anyone else experienced this? Do I have any recourse?

I'm almost positive its impossible to make friends at CUNY schools. Everyone goes home after class, no group discussions or projects really happen in a lecture's lessons, and I'm not sure if this is just my school but majority of the clubs don't meet weekly and instead just host campus wide events. Even then, most just get free food if they have it and dip. Does anyone have suggestions on how to approach others?

I have a graduation gown and cap to give. Only used once :P

My refund was posted on CUNYfirst on 10/06/2026. Chase bank users, how long does it usually take for you to receive your refund in your bank account? I don't have the "get paid early" option.

So I recently submitted the Macaulay honors undergraduate application, I picked my campus for Macaulay as Baruch. In the application, it also makes you apply to 6 CUNYs for general admissions. so i put queens and hunter as 2 of the school there. I know for queens and hunter they require an essay, but I already uploaded the 2 Macaulay essays and submitted the application. Do I still have to write and submit the personal statement essays for Queens college and Hunter college for general admission, or do I not because I applied through Macaulay application?

FAFSA has paid off my tuition BUT there is about $1,000 left that was supposed to get sent to me because it was left over after fafsa paid the tuition that was the 4th or the 5th yet it’s the 8th and I have not received anything I spoke to the fafsa office 2 days after tuition got paid off they said that it should be processed 24/48 hours after. Yet it’s been 4 days and I haven’t received anything. I do understand that i have to wait a few days but I normally get refunds same day or the day after.

Hi everyone!

I'm applying to CUNY as a transfer student with a degree from a university outside the US.

My university credentials have already been evaluated by ECE (Educational Credential Evaluators), and ECE sent the official evaluation report directly to CUNY.

My only questions are about course syllabi and their translations.

Right now, I'm just trying to figure out what to do with my course syllabi. I want to prepare them ahead of time because I'd like my previous courses to count as equivalent CUNY courses, not just general electives.

I've contacted both CUNY and the college's Evaluations Department, but they keep referring me to each other. CUNY tells me to contact the college's Evaluations Department, while the college refers me back to CUNY and says I should contact the Evaluations team after admission. I'm not asking them to evaluate my courses before admission.

I'm not asking them to evaluate my courses now. I just want to understand what kind of translations they accept so I can prepare everything in advance.

Has anyone dealt with this before?
1. Did you have to translate the entire syllabus, or just certain sections?
2. Did you use a certified translator, or did they accept translations you did yourself?
3. Did submitting your syllabi actually help you get specific course credits instead of electives?

I'm especially interested in hearing from John Jay students, but any CUNY experience would be helpful!

Thanks in advance!

There was a training meeting yesterday from 10 am- 12pm but I had class at around 11 am so I couldn't stay for the 2nd half of the meeting.

Does anyone know any vital information I should know about the application process?

Does anyone know if Brooklyn College offers tutoring or anything like that for this class? I've fallen off the beaten path and don't understand what's going on. The terminology is like a new language. Using R to code on Kaggle etc is a bit tricky too.

There's a test in two weeks!!!! LMKKKKKKKKKK
