    Will learn a lot

    LaGuardia Community College of the City University of New York is a scandal waiting to explode. You are invited to visit www.Laguardiacorruption.com to see the deleterious effect of administrative corruption on education and, in particular, how cronyism, rampant grade inflation, fraudulent course material and fraudulent remedial exams have rendered the Mathematics and English Departments dysfunctional. With more than 160,000 visits to date, the website aims to inform all colleges, education associations, interested taxpayers, elected officials and news media in the New York City vicinity.
    Will enjoy being here

    If you enjoy chaos and mismanagement.

    LAGCC is a wonderful school with a very supportive faculty. My experience with the math department/tutoring lab has been very successful - I began taking remedial algebra and am currently taking honors calculus. LaGuardia has brought out abilities in me that I had know idea that I have. In addition, I am working on a volunteer project making handbags in Haiti and once a few of my professors learned of this they got behind it and next month the school is sponsoring a fashion show!!
    Tips for prospective students

    Plan ahead do research on your professors and register for classes early. Ask fellow students about their experiences.

If you don't you will get lost and you will be stress out. When you find who are your professors, go to ratemyprofessors.com, and read the reviews it help me a lot.
    Academic Rigor


    Laguardia and I think BMCC as well are the only one who has this unique semesters system. There are two semester, Fall and Spring semester. Within the semester there are two session, session I and session II. Session I is 12 week period and Session II is a 8 week period. If you take the first session, the second session the classes are free. The school wants this system because it gives the students the opportunity to retake classes that they fail in session I and to graduate faster.
    Dorm Life

    There is a lot of places around that area. There is Korean food, Japanese food, Nepalese food, fast food, pizzeria, Chinese food, and much more.

    LaGuardia CC has a very diverse population. People here are nice, too. Most professors are really good, but like in every college, you'll meet some less desirable ones.
    Tips for prospective students

    There are lots of study spots around campus such as the library, study halls, empty/vacant classrooms.
    Academic Rigor

    From my experiences, I've had pretty good professors and classes were taught really well. You're sure to find ones that you wouldn't like, but it isn't always possible to change sections once the semester starts as classes get filled really quick.
    Dorm Life

    LaGuardia doesn't offer on-campus housing. Off-campus housing is, well, a bit expensive. It's in NYC, what can I say?
    Food and Dining

    I'm not a fan of the cafeteria. Quality of food is grade C and the prices for me are a little too much. The pizzeria across the street is pretty good. The cafes around are OK.
    What to do for fun

    I didn't stay most of the time in campus during my free time, but when I do, I go to the library to use one of the computers. I heard the gym is pretty good, too. Plus, the school has some yoga classes.

    They failed 44 students out of a graduating class of approximately 65 students in the spring of 2010. The nursing department will do whatever it takes to get government funding for their program dept, and that includes failing students. They call anyone that speaks up about their unfair practices, disgruntled.
    Tips for prospective students

    They will rip you off. Do not go there. They will deliberately fail many students and then offer the student the LPN program then LPN to RN program just to make more money off the students. The Dean of the college is hardly aware of how the nursing department cheats students. The professors think they are the gate keepers of the nursing world. They do not allow you to pass by honest merit. They hand pick who they want to pass, and unfairly give extra points to students that bow down to them. Learn to to stroke department heads ego or find another college.
