Did you guys see this article?

I graduated back in May of 2024 with my Bachelor's in CS, and two years later, I still haven't been able to find a job with my degree. I stupidly never did any internships, but I've tried up upskill during my time outside of school doing online boot camps and projects.

For anyone that was in the same position as me, how did you end up getting out of it? I'm losing hope that I'll ever find anything related to CS, and all those years will have gone to waste, just to continue working retail like I have been since I started school.

Hi all,

Incoming transfer student here. I am having issues registering for the QCard. I get errors on the AMS.

I also cannot access the stu-mail new qmail. But I don’t think that’s an issue for now since the cuny email is now unified, I still receive all alerts.

Do you guys know who to contact and get fast help?

I’ve been to QC before with my friends and know the layout and stuff. I also know how CUNY system works from my previous CUNY college.

Is it mandatory for me to go? 10-6pm seems crazy lols.

A common complaint on here is how quiet and "commuter-heavy" the campus can feel, and how hard it is to make friends when everyone just goes straight home after class. I'm trying to change that by starting a completely casual soccer social club.

It's strictly 18+ and open to all skill levels. You don’t need to be amazing at soccer—whether you play every week or haven't touched a ball since middle school, it doesn't matter. The whole point is just to get active, take a break from studying, and actually build a community.

If you're down to play some relaxed pickup games and meet new people, drop a comment below or send me a DM! I’m putting together a group chat so we can figure out schedules and the best nearby parks or campus spots to meet up.

Hey guys,
I’m an incoming student at Queens College this fall and was wondering what Greek life is like over there.
How social are the fraternities? Is it more of a traditional frat culture or is it pretty chill and open? Do people actually hang out a lot, throw events, and have a good social scene, or is it more low-key?
I’m also curious what the general reputation of Greek life is on campus. Is it worth joining? What do people usually get out of it?
And honestly, has anything funny, crazy, or memorable happened with Greek life in the last few years?
Just trying to get a feel for the campus before I move to NYC. Thanks.

Hey everyone,

Since it's the summer, I'm trying to get a casual soccer group together specifically for Queens College students and any other CUNY folks who want to play over the break. It's a great way to stay active and actually build a community here while classes are quiet.

It's completely open to all skill levels. You don't need to be amazing at soccer—whether you play every week or haven't touched a ball since middle school, it doesn't matter. The whole point is just to get active, take a break, and meet some new people.

Drop a comment below if you're down to play some relaxed pickup games! Once we get a solid headcount, we can figure out schedules and the best nearby parks or fields around Queens to meet up.

I haven’t used my outlook school account in a while but ever since the new email given at the end of the spring sem, it’s always signing out.

**I USE THE NEW EMAIL

Now I am signing in again and it says it was successful but I don’t have access to it. Is this happening to anyone else??

So I’m debating on transferring to Queens College from BMCC for Applied Mathematics / statistics and Computer Science. However, I’m not sure how the education system is there and how well structured their departments are. What’s student life like? Are the professors and advisors good? Any specifics I should look out for? And are there good opportunities for internships?

At the risk of being Captain Obvious, peruse the “Setting Up CUNY Login MFA” article on support.qc.cuny.edu. It was where I found out I was supposed go download the Microsoft Authenticator App. Silly me. I just wanted to post this in case anyone else had any issues.

Are we allowed to post links here?

Edit #2 - Guys, if the “OK” button isn’t appearing on the “Login Failed” page when you enter your CUNY login credentials, just refresh the page. I had this issue like a dozen times lol

News about the budget cuts were released some time last week. It is actually looking a lot worse than what was previously said. So every single department is losing a big portion of their budget for the next fiscal year which starts in July and is working on changes to deal with their huge budget cut right now. There is no 1 department that is most affected by the budget cut. Every department and office on campus is losing a big portion of their budget regardless of the reasons why they shouldn’t lose their budget. Roughly around 50%-80%.

Even academic departments that have majors, minors, and courses that are popular with students are getting a big cut with their departmental budget even with high enrollments in their program and courses. Academic support like the Learning Commons, Writing Center, FYE, Academic Advising, etc, are losing most of their budget even with the data that shows that a good amount of students comes to them every semester for help.

So if you expect a certain level of support from them when the next fall and spring semesters start. That is not happening. Don’t know exactly what the changes are for every department, but changes will be happening in the fall, so prepare for that.

Frank Wu “retiring” was because he caused so much trouble for the budget for Queens College leading Queens College to have a lot of budget deficits. Just know that the budget cuts will reduce services to students. Faculty and staff to get reduced hours to work, or they will get laid off because there isn't any money to pay the faculty and staff. Less course offerings because there isn't money to pay a faculty to teach it.

This is not going to be a great year at Queens College. Thank you so much, Frank Wu and your cabinet members, for your hard work.

Hi Guys, if you guys have a teaching degree from
Queens College, what parts of NY are you teaching? And is it necessary to have multiple certifications?

Hey yall, I’m a new chemistry student at queens college. I have a question about CHEM 211: Chemical Thermodynamics and Kinetics, right now the only person that is currently teaching is a professor named: “Cherice Evans”. I saw her RMP page and got a gist of what I should expect, does anyone else know other lecturers that teach this course or should I cut my losses and stick with her?
