Emily Klapper, Hunter College

I am a freshman at Hunter College. I had high hopes for my school over the next four years, and as exciting as it has been, Hunter is not without its flaws. One of the first issues I have noticed is overcrowding in classrooms and in the the buildings in general. From the broken elevators, to students working on the library floor to the advisors who have more students than they can handle, it is clear to me that this school lacks the funding to take care of itself in the most fundamental ways. I believe a better investment in our public education system would be a great way for the city to support its future generations.
