25 Questions For Hunter College

It's that time of the year again.

As the clock turns to the start of a new semester and the beginning stages of a new chapter for the Hunter College Class of 2024, current Hunter Hawks have raised 25 questions that they've had after a considerable amount of time at Hunter, and would like to get them answered. Whether or not they receive a response isn't known right now, but it's still interesting to look at these questions as an incoming freshman.



1. Why are the elevators always out of service?

2. Why is the AC never on in the West building classrooms?

3. Why do we need our student IDs to get into the library if we can't get into campus without them regardless?

4. Why do you keep increasing the snack prices in the vending machines each semester?

5. Why aren't there more fresh Kosher food choices in the cafeteria?

6. What's the point in escalators if they're always being shut down?

7. Why aren't there more resources for undocumented students?

8. Why is Thomas Hunter Hall always so hot?

9. Will they ever finish renovations?

10. Why do the vending machines always have horrible choices?

11. Why do the elevators in Thomas Hunter Hall work the fastest if they're the oldest?

12. Why are all the freshman core classes always in the basement of the North Building?

13.Why is the "No Smoking Zone" the Designated Smoking Zone?

14. Why are all building entrances so different in terms of elegance compared to the West Building Entrance?

15. Why is campus empty on Wednesdays compared to the other days of the week?

16. Why does the cafeteria charge you $1.19 for a banana when they know the fruit guy outside sells them for 25 cents?

17. Why does a snack from the cafeteria cost more than the snack in the vending machine (it's the same snack!)?

18. Why does the WiFi always crash when you need it most?

19. Do you guys repaint the bathroom stalls to cover up the graffiti or does it disappear on its own?

20. Do you guys repaint the desks to cover up the graffiti or does it disappear on its own?

21. Why does the girls bathroom always have a line but not the boys?

22. Why don't we hype the sports teams we have like other schools do?

23. Why are all frats and sororities so lowkey? You have to go looking for them to find one.

24. Can we have a week where skateboarding is allowed on the skywalks?

And finally, equally as important to these questions is this:

25. What can Hunter and CUNY at large do in its plan to recover from this pandemic, and what will it commit to in this widespread effort for social justice reform and inclusion?

Whether you're commuting or dorming, your first year of college is a huge adjustment.

Here's a personal archive of a few of the things I learned after going away for the first time.

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.

For many undergraduates across the nation, the home stretch has begun. Only one more semester remains in our undergraduate career. Oh, the places we will go! For the majority of college seniors, this is simultaneously the best and worst year out of the past four and here’s why.

1. The classes you are taking are actually difficult.

A schedule full of easy pottery throwing and film courses is merely a myth on the average campus. With all of those prerequisites for the upper-level courses and the never-ending battle you fight each year during registration for limited class seats, senior year brings with it the ability to register for the final courses you need to fulfill your major. Yet, these are not the easy entry level courses. These are the comprehensive, end of major, capstone courses designed to apply the knowledge from all your previous courses, usually in the form of an extensive research paper or engaged learning project. The upside is you actually probably really enjoy these classes but alas there is no room for slackers here.
