An Open Letter To You, The Senior Who Just Got Accepted To Hunter

16 year old me committing to Hunter!

Congratulations on your acceptance to Hunter College! I remember the day I became a Hawk and I now look forward to passing this information on to you!

Main Campus

Hunter has many campuses and dorms. However, the one you will probably find yourself most of the time, if not all the time is the 68th-Lexington Campus. It features four buildings, the West Building, North Building, East Building, and the Thomas Hunter building. Our campus is connected by sky bridges, which is great because we get to see the beautiful scenery.

The Big Apple

Hunter College is in New York, New York. We have many campuses such as the Brookdale Campus, The Silberman School of Social Work, and lastly the 68th Street Campus, aka our main campus. All of our campuses are in NYC, a place you will no doubt have fun in. From the amazing scenery down to the amazing food, NYC is the place to be.

Oh, You're Hungry.

One word - halal. Luckily enough we have our very own halal cart located in front of the North building. The food is quite affordable; you get a tasty filling meal and a drink all for six dollars. If you're not into Halal food, there are many other options such as Chipotle, McDonald's, or even our very own Hawk Cafe! The Hawk Cafe is quick, delicious, and easy, however, be prepared to spend a pretty penny!

Morning Drinker?

By best place to drink you mean coffee right? Hunter is really known as a commuter school that doesn't really have parties. If you're looking for the best place to drink, I'd recommend our very own bookstore Shakespeare and Co for their delicious iced coffees that keep most of awake in our 8 a.m. classes! If you're a tea drinker, Panda has really great boba tea! It tastes great and fits the aesthetic.

It's All About Homecoming!

Homecoming 2018 - Go Hawks!

Hunter is all about school pride. Our most popular events to attend definitely include Homecoming! There is a lot of pride surrounding our sporting events and the bleachers in the gym are always most certainly filled. Basketball usually takes the cake when it comes to sporting events. However, there will always be postings of what events are coming up all over Hunter!

It's Brick With a Side of Sunshine!

Living in New York City, the weather can be pretty much all over the place. I would recommend clothes for all seasons! You're definitely going to need a pair of snow boots and a tank top with matching shorts. Our cold gets very cold with the temperature that feels like you're in the artic and scorching heat that makes you sweat profusely.

Wish Them Luck For The Next Four Years!

Now that you know some of what it's like to be a Hawk. It's time to create your own experience. You'll love it here! Cheers to the next four years!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Top 20 Thoughts College Students Have During Finals

The ultimate list and gif guide to a college student's brain during finals.

University of Vermont

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
