During my time at LaGuardia Community College, I've thoroughly enjoyed my experience. The professors have been incredibly kind and understanding, fostering a supportive learning environment. One highlight has been collaborating with a professor on a project involving inmates at Rikers Island, which has provided invaluable insight. This experience has clarified my future path, guiding me towards a specific major as I prepare to transfer to John Jay College. Overall, LaGuardia has not only provided academic growth but also offered opportunities for meaningful engagement and discovery.

Review CUNY LaGuardia Community College

When I came to LaGuardia I thought that this will be a boring college, but it came out to be vice versa. The teachers I’ve been working with were really nice, helpful and had their own creative approaches for every lesson. It’s hard to say that you will feel bored in every class you take, because I didn’t. And if to talk about after class time, there’s quite a lot activities you can be a part of. For example, if you take drawing classes, you can visit “evening/night drawing events”, or if you take Japanese classes, Japanese Club allows you to attend Mario Kart championships or even karaoke events. You can find Clubs/Organizations relevant to your major, and you can always find an activities to join, if you don’t know how to fill your free time. Overally LaGuardia Community College feels like a nice place to study in.

Overall, CUNY LaGuardia Community college is an great college for those in the tech field, especially since they've just recently gotten a sponsor/donated money in order to improve the students education in the computer science related field. Make sure to check out the opportunities they offer as they can be beneficial for your career and overall experience as a student.
