[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to Hunter too and my favorite thing about the “Hunter College” poster is how they always call it Hunter College. I have literally never met another alum who calls it that, because that’s what we called the actual Hunter College (i.e., college that is part of the CUNY system that our administrators technically worked for) where we had some gym classes. Anyway, it always makes her posts every easy to spot and I’ve always wanted to ask her if her HS friends actually called it that and, if so, when she attended.

Also, Hunter’s building is awful. There are very few windows and the ones that there are are shaped like arrow slits. [b]When a refrigeration unit malfunctioned on the top floor and squids for dissection went bad, they had to close the school for multiple days because the ventilation is so bad they couldn’t get rid of the smell. [/b]Also, teachers at one point sued over failed air quality tests being covered up. Finally, while I had a fabulous experience at Hunter, and it definitely encouraged independent thought, the GO (our student government) was totally window dressing… just like it is at almost every HS. Lots of kids ran largely for access to the GO office that everyone used for hook ups and it was basically a popularity contest for quasi-gunner types. Chris Hayes was student body President while I was there, so that’s kind of fun in retrospect. Anyway, I’m happy BASIS exists and hope my kids manage to lottery in.[/quote]

Agreed.  Thank you PP!  [/quote]
