I'm applying to Hunter. I'm from New York, so knew about its reputation a bit beforehand, but did some research before deciding to apply there. I know a girl in their grad art history program, and got some of my information about the school from her. Hunter's actually not a community college. It's party of CUNY (City University of New York). You may have heard of SUNY (State University of New York). The city has its own version. Most of the CUNY schools aren't of very good reputation academically, but a few of them are. For example, the Graduate Center is CUNY. From what I've heard, Hunter's quality really depends on the department. The grad fine art program has an excellent reputation in New York. Apparently their English department is stellar too. (Gary Shteyngart did his MFA in Creative Writing there.) I also know that Holland Carter (NY Times) did his MA in art history at Hunter. I've met a few students in the grad fine art program. Some of them really impressed me, and some others didn't, but I guess that's typical of any larger program. Anyway, that's about all I know on the subject. Hope it helps.
