Queens College, located in the New York City borough of Queens, is part of the City University of New York system. At Queens College, there are more than 100 areas of study within the fields of arts and humanities, education, mathematics and natural sciences, and social sciences. The many offerings for graduate students include speech-language pathology and the highly ranked library and information studies program. Because of the school's location, student life at Queens is a little different from that of more traditional universities. Though there is a residence hall available, the vast majority of students live off campus, and most of them stay in New York after they graduate.

About a quarter of Queens students are ages 25 or older, so the school offers programs that are especially helpful for these students. There are inexpensive day care services for students with children and a Weekend College that makes it possible for anyone to earn a four-year undergraduate degree by only attending classes on Friday evenings, Saturdays and Sundays. On campus, Queens students can explore more than 100 clubs, join an intramural sports team or get involved in varsity athletics. There are 20 intercollegiate Queens College Knights sports teams, which compete in the NCAA Division II East Coast Conference. Notable alumni include comedian Jerry Seinfeld and musician Paul Simon.
