  This review is particularly about the Financial Aid office! Not about Hunter. I had the worst experience every single time I had to go to Financial Aid. I wouldn't complain if it was only a couple of times. I had to go there over 6-7 times regarding Fafsa & Tap and EVERY single time they did nothing except of sending me to the web-site to figure out things on my own or to call. They are absolutely useless and I have no idea why the office exists and what they are being paid for!!!!

  Absolutely infested with rats running everywhere. You cannot study without having a little one running between your legs. You have them in any library floor, auditorium and even the cafeterias where people eat. Like why is a rat in the microwave?? It’s been like this for years now but they don’t wanna do anything about it. Mind you this is health hazard 🙄🙄

  My daughter lives with a Hunter College employee, Ms. Versa Gold. My daughter has epilepsy, diabetes, thyroid complications, and hemiplegic migraines — conditions that require rest, stability, and a calm environment. Instead, she has been placed in a living situation that is actively endangering her health. Despite knowing my daughter’s medical needs, Ms. Gold routinely cooks and eats full meals between 12–1 a.m. with all lights on, preventing her from sleeping and triggering her neurological symptoms. My daughter has woken up disoriented, exhausted, and at risk of seizure because of these nightly disruptions. During building inspections, Ms. Gold repeatedly tells my daughter that both of them were cited for issues. But building staff have clarified that the concerns are solely about Ms. Gold’s excessive clutter, which poses a fire hazard, an evacuation risk, and a potential pest issue. My daughter is being misled and unfairly implicated in problems that are not hers. Ms. Gold has also complained about my daughter eating in the room — even though my daughter has written permission due to her diabetes and migraine‑related dietary needs. Meanwhile, Ms. Gold eats in the room without any medical necessity and does so at hours that directly harm my daughter’s health. The most distressing incident occurred after my daughter was hospitalized for epilepsy. While she was recovering, Ms. Gold woke her up to accuse her of making noise — noise my daughter could not have made because she was asleep. Ms. Gold then admitted that she had similar conflicts with previous roommates, suggesting a pattern of perceiving disturbances that are not happening. My daughter is a young woman trying to manage multiple serious medical conditions while working and commuting early every morning. She is not disruptive. She is simply trying to survive. Yet she is living with an adult employee whose behavior is unstable, unpredictable, and harmful to her health. Mrs Gold should stop abusing the NYC shelter system and living as if her permanent home. To live with people who actually need help and intentionally target them is disgustingly cruel. When my daughter asked her “why is it you don’t like me I never stole from you, shouted, threatened you, called you out of your name, used profanity and never made a mess” Ms Gold told her”I don’t need a reason to like you, I just don’t.” No vulnerable person should be placed in this situation — especially not by an institution that has a duty to protect the wellbeing of those living alongside its staff. I am asking Hunter College to urgently review the conduct, suitability, and wellbeing of the employee they have placed in close living quarters with my medically fragile daughter. She deserves safety, rest, and dignity — not fear, instability, and worsening health

  Rough experience at the H. I always felt like construction was happening but nothing was ever fixed. No paper towels, soap, TP. Elevators always out. Some instructors were ok, but they never stuck to office hours, returned calls or emails. IDK I have so many loans I'm paying off but not sure I shouldn't have gone to Baruch instead. In my next life...

  This school is overall not bad. For the most part, everything is straight up; they give you resources, but now it's up to you to look for or ask for help. Some classes may lack attention and teaching, but on the other hand, there are excellent professors who outdo the others. The only downside I would say is the financial aid staff; I went there to ask for help and just got yelled at in the face. Instead of helping me navigate the problem I had with my financial aid, they just treated me in such a disrespectful manner and dismissed me. That experience made me anxious about asking for help elsewhere on campus because I worried I would be treated the same way. But they didn't; most staff are extremely nice. Don't let a terrible experience ruin your advocacy for help!

  I am a hunter undergrad, and I have to say my whole experience at Hunter was horrible from beginning to end. At first I thought that it was because I started school during the pandemic, but even after years went by every time I turned for help whether it was the financial aid office or registrar or I called all the staff member there apart from a very FEW kind, people were always rude to me. I’m always such a polite person. I treat people with respect and I never got that back. Everybody always had an attitude was always sarcastic or refused to help me or guide me in any way it felt like I was making their life miserable, and all I wanted was a little help which I ended up having to jump over hoops to get through other means like classmates or professors or my own advisor who was lovely ( JEAN RYAN ) and always guided me into the right direction. So for a future newly fresh out of high school student I advise you do your research and go to a college where they actually appreciate their students and help them to become actual professionals. Having people specially, the staff member of the college be of help to students especially new students. Is nothing less than important, it’s fundamental and sometimes, its a make it or break it for students to continue college. It’s disappointing to see that a government college could do such a horrible job with their staff personnel.
