Queens College

On Thursday, May 10th, I arrived at Renaissance expecting to head to St. Johns University. At around 10am, we got the news that something went wrong with the bus and that it will not be coming to pick us up. Then we soon found out that the alumni that agreed to give us a tour of St. Johns got sick. So overall we were stuck in Renaissance trying to figure out what to do. Girelle and Ana did a little research and found that Queens College had a self-guided tour available. This was great since these plans were very last minute.
As a group we left the Renaissance around 10:30am and took the 7 train to Flushing. From Flushing we took the Q25 to Queens College. When we arrived at the campus I was very impressed with the security. She was very helpful. I also loved the campus itself. It is a very large campus and is very very clean. As we walked through the campus we visited many different buildings such as the library, science building, cafeteria and Jefferson Port. In Jefferson Port, there was a wall of alumni. Queens College is the alma mater to many famous acrtors and actresses such as Jerry Seinfeld, Fran Drescher, and Ray Romano. The library located at the back of the campus was very nice. It was neat, quiet and even had an outside deck for students who enjoys sitting outside while studying or reading. The science building was also very nice. It was a large building that had many labs and walls filled with maps and many artifacts. There was also a little cafe located near the entrance and a place to study. After visiting those buildings, we all got hungry and decided to walk across campus to the cafeteria. The caeteria was very spacious  but had a limited amount of options for lunch.
Overall I enjoyed my time at the campus. I would consider applying to Queens College because it is very close to home, the campus is beautiful and it is very diverse as far as ethnicity.
