City University of New York
The City University of New York is New York City's university system - the third largest in the nation behind the State University of New York and California State University systems.
It encompasses many colleges and programs, spread throughout the five boroughs. CCNY, Baruch College, Brooklyn College, Hunter College, and Queens College are among its best.
It also prominently advertises its best professors and students on the subway, a practice that Columbia has sadly yet to embrace. The likely explanation is that certain universities don't need to advertise.[1]
