27th Street & 7th Avenue
New York, NY 10001

Gourmet G. writes: A lifetime ago, when I was a struggling actor, I studied here between auditions and waiting tables so I'd have something upon which to fall back if my stage career failed to materialize. When I ultimately found myself entrenched in the travel…

Fordham University
Neighborhood: Bronx/Belmont

441 E Fordham Rd
Bronx, NY 10458

Emily A. writes: Yay Fordham! I love this school. Best four years of my life (so far). Obvious perks: beautiful campus with grassy knolls and collegiate-looking buildings in the middle of the Bronx, close enough to Manhattan, but far enough away so that campus life…

Barnard College
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Morningside Heights

3009 Broadway
New York, NY 10027

Ben C. writes: I really hadn't had the interest or opportunity to check out Barnard's campus until just recently while taking a mid-term that was being proctored there. Overall, Barnard's campus and buildings seem much more welcoming and up to snuff compared to…

300 Jay St
Brooklyn, NY 11201

Norah K. writes: It has been a good couple of years since I've gone to the dentist and in those couple of years I've spent a good portion of my time drinking red wine and slamming cups of coffee. It was finally time to take matters into my own hands. No matter how…

Drew University

36 Madison Ave
Madison, NJ 07940

Michelle W. writes: The University in the Forest rules. Small campus population (around 2500 total on campus, including undergrads, grads, and theological students), about 95%+ resident population for undergrads, no Greek system, and a really tight knit student body.…

Beth Israel School of Nursing

776 Avenue of the Americas
4th Floor
New York, NY 10001

Jodi V. writes: I went here and I reccomend it. Like any school, it was aggrivating at times, but overall it ended up being a great program. Once you're in, you're in and you don't have to wait for classes or worry about them filling up like a lot of the CUNY…

Pacific College of Oriental Medicine NY
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Gramercy-Flatiron

915 Broadway
Lobby
New York, NY 10010

Paula H. writes: This is a great place to go to get accupuncture or Chinese medicine. It's a school, so the practitioner who treats you will be a student, but a supervisor will be present and they give you a thorough diagnosis in a clean unquestionable environment.…

Brooklyn College
Neighborhood: Brooklyn/Midwood

2900 Bedford Ave
Brooklyn, NY 11210

Ryan C. writes: Brooklyn College, the scenically gorgeous Kings County academic institution confusingly referred to as "The poor man's Harvard" might actually ameliorate its reputation as an oft bureaucratic shithole if it made some minor adjustments to accommodate…

School of Visual Arts
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Chelsea

133 W 21st St
New York, NY 10011

Tony L. writes: Most schools put you in a classroom with somebody that knows nothing and toss you into the real world for a cold dose or reality. This school puts you in a classroom with somebody that's paid their dues practicing what they're preaching, so you get…

Metropolitan College of New York
Neighborhood: Manhattan/SoHo, Manhattan/TriBeCa

75 Varick St
New York, NY 10013

Mirelly H. writes: I'm going to MCNY for an MPA -Masters in Public Administration-.

New York, NY 10038

Chippers T. writes: www.pacepress.org

Hunter College
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Upper East Side

695 Park Ave
New York, NY 10021

Natalia J. writes: Worst advice ever:
"It's ok to change majors" and "It's ok to transfer schools"

Never do any of those two unless you want to be in school for the rest of your life. Just stick with something and you can decide what you want to do later.

The faculty is…

New School University
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Greenwich Village, Manhattan/Union Square

80 5th Ave
New York, NY 10011

113 W 60th Street
New York, NY 10023

Neighborhood: Manhattan/Greenwich Village

1 Washington Mews
New York, NY 10003

Victor L. writes: I have a lot to say about this place. A lot.

First off, the location. Its Washington Mews goddammit. You know that scene in Manhattan where Woody Allen is arguing with Streep, and then he takes the kid to play hoops and whatnot? that little strip of…

Parsons School of Design
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Theater District, Manhattan/Fashion District

560 Fashion Ave
New York, NY 10018

Amanda B. writes: Don't be fooled.
Parsons is not just about the Fashion, there're other majors too.
First most of the design students go through Foundation year, where they start to show you how the work load strips you away from social life and enjoying the city. (not…

Mercy College

555 Broadway
Dobbs Ferry, NY 10522

Diana B. writes: Open Admissions college where the ambitious and hardworking can succeed.

Hunter College

Diana B. writes: Great place to study/work, as it's open 24/7, except holidays, and YOU DON'T NEED ANY ID to get in!

SW corner of Lexington Avenue and 68th Street. Near subway and buses.

UPDATE: They sell Starbucks coffees at lower, presumably student, prices.

Lerner Hall, Columbia University
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Morningside Heights

114 Street and Broadway
New York, NY 10027

Diana B. writes: Ugly but convenient interior with cafe and lots of open spaces with tables and chairs. Sometimes very noisy, but good place to work or study.

You need C U identification or a CU friend to get in.

New York Academy of Art
Neighborhood: Manhattan/TriBeCa

111 Franklin Street
New York, NY 10013

Adam G. writes: One of the best schools for training in representational figurative art. The curriculum is rooted in the Renaissance and 19th Century Academic Art traditions.

Baruch College

137 E 25th Street
New York, NY 10010

Caramel C. writes: Baruch College is excellent for business-related fields. The vertical campus is amazing to look at (I am proud to say that I was part of the first freshman class to have classes there in 2001). I think in regards to the social scene, old HS friends…

Teachers College
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Morningside Heights

525 W 120th St
Columbia University Library
New York, NY 10027

Paul W. writes: Since no teacher's college can teach a prospective teacher how to teach, either don't teach or find a less expensive way to get the same PC drivel elsewhere. Otherwise, great place to live, and lots of perks in the neighborhood.

This is where we lived…

Eugene Lang College
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Greenwich Village

66 West 12th Street
New York, NY 10011

Hannah A. writes: Lang, what has become of you!? When I applied to Lang it was because I wanted a non-traditional education, along the lines of Evergreen or Bennington without having to be in the MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. What made Lang stand out, not just in NYC, but over…

NYIT
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Upper West Side

1855 Broadway
New York, NY 10012

Adam D. writes: I'm perfectly fine wth this school choice, but I'm definitely not convinced that it's the greatest school ever. Comparitively to other schools, I'd say it would be about equal. I love its location, but that's probably why it's a hefty price to go…

Palladium Athletic Facility - NYU
Neighborhood: Manhattan/East Village

140 East 14th Street
New York, NY 10003

Victor L. writes: when this place is crowded, its really impossible, it takes forever to get through the workout.

Devry University
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Theater District

120 W 45th Street
New York, NY 10036

Borough of Manhattan Community College

199 Chambers Street
New York, NY 10007

Diana B. writes: Two things happen to students here: they drop out because they're ill equipped for college in the first place, or they move on to 4-year CUNY colleges and do well, because they work hard and are better equipped for college.

Lehman College

250 Bedford Park Blvd West
Bronx, NY 10468

St John's University
Neighborhood: Queens/Hillcrest

8000 Utopia Pkwy
Jamaica, NY 11439

Hofstra University Public Safety

1000 Fulton Ave
Hempstead, NY 11549
