“Coming from a small, traditional Nigerian family, I was immediately attracted to Macaulay’s close-knit community as well as the genuine care that advisors had with their students. So I ultimately took a leap of faith by choosing Macaulay at Hunter over “brand name” private schools, and it was easily the best decision I have made to date. Throughout my undergraduate career, I have met a number of prolific political and influential figures over cupcakes, traveled overseas and interned and researched at prestigious institutions and universities, and ultimately secured a job I never could have envisioned for myself in my wildest dreams. Never in my life have I been in an academic environment that makes the idea of ‘dreaming big’ more than a cliché, but an actual lifestyle—and for that, I am forever grateful to Macaulay at Hunter College.”
