STUDENT LIFE AT HUNTER COLLEGE

Student life at Hunter is exceptionally vibrant. Students govern more than 100 clubs and organizations, compete in championship athletic events, contribute to four student publications, and participate in leadership programs. We help prepare our students to be life-long learners and leaders.

Hunter's comprehensive, competitive Athletics program includes 18 championship-winning athletic teams. The Hunter Hawks compete at the NCAA Division III level as a member of the CUNY Athletic Conference. They also provide a variety of recreational opportunities (such as fitness classes, activites, gyms, equipment and swimming pool) that contribute to the physical, social, and overall wellbeing of all members of the campus community.

A limited number of students have the opportunity to live in the Hunter College Residences. They have a unique opportunity to enrich their learning experiences by becoming involved in our Residence Life Community, which offers social, educational, and cultural programs designed to enhance learning and to promote positive relationships within the Residences and the community at large. Applicants are able to choose from three residences: Brookdale Campus, 92nd Street, and 97th Street, which offer a variety of floor plans and amenities to Hunter students.

The Children’s Learning Center at Hunter College is a quality childcare learning facility for the children of Hunter College students. We provide a rich, developmentally appropriate environment for children while their parents attend classes or perform other college-related work.

Published by the Division of Student Affairs, the Hunter Gatherer is a bi-weekly listing of events, activities and other items of interest for students and the Hunter community. Typical news items include jobs and internships, health screenings, workshops, scholarships, discounts on performances, advising schedules, orientations, pre-professional events, athletic events, library resources, and updates on college policies.

Student Publications and Broadcast Media

A key part of the educational experience is the opportunity to learn about and discuss current issues affecting Hunter and the community at large.

The Hunter Envoy is our student newspaper, and it has been "the voice" of Hunter College since 1944. Students can submit articles, story ideas, illustrations or photographs, as well as work on the paper as editors, reporters, photographers, and illustrators. Readers can subscribe to the Hunter Envoy blog via email to receive notifications of new posts by email.

The Olivetree Review, established in 1983, is Hunter College's student-run undergraduate art and literary journal. The Olivetree Review is published every semester, distributed free of charge among the Hunter community. The journal primarily features art and writing created by Hunter undergraduate students.

Psych News is the official publication of The Psychology Collective, published each semester. The Psychology Collective is a collaboration between the three psychology-related student organizations at Hunter College: The Psychology Club, The Hunter Chapter of Psi Chi (the International Honor Society in Psychology), and Psych News.

We provide guidance and assistance to student government organizations and work with numerous student clubs and organizations to develop programs that foster leadership skills, including the Student Leadership Colloquium.

From the Academia Literaria to the West African Dance Club, student clubs represent a broad range of interests on campus. Other students may share your interests and may have already started a club. If not, currently registered Hunter students can charter a new club to share their interests and sponsor activities with like-minded fellow students.

Veterans’ Services provides support, resources, and information that meet your unique needs as a veteran and a student. Our web site provides information on getting started at Hunter, veterans’ benefits, academic policies, and on and off-campus resources.
