Verified overview

The City College of New York is part of the City University of New York System, a connection of higher education institutions in the state of New York. Based in New York City itself, City College overlooks Harlem in Manhattan, and features several impressively designed buildings. Home to over 16,000 students, the college can trace its history back to 1847 when it was first established to provide children of immigrants and the poor with access to free education. Unfortunately, tuition here is no longer free but the noble goals of the institution remain. While it covers various subjects, it has received particular credit for its physics department, producing three Nobel laureates. The average SAT score of incoming students is 1260/1600.
