Section Additions
I am planning to expand the Hunter College entry by adding the following sections: Campus, Academics, and Student Life. This addition will change the existing order of information.

Opening paragraph
I think the opening paragraph should be revised to better describe the technical aspects of this school such as faculty or graduate programs. The statement "Its Masters program in Fine Art is well-respected in the contemporary art world." seems to imply that the other programs are not well respected. JRWalko 01:13, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Thomas Hunter Hall
Can anyone specify when it was actually built? It's unclear in the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.247.203.77 (talk) 21:17, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

According to the Hunter College website "Milestones" page the site was granted in 1870 and classes started in 1873 in Thomas Hunter Hall. Triviatracer (talk) 07:23, 12 January 2009 (UTC)


 * http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/20/realestate/20scap.html  ALMOST swamped by the boxy modernism of Hunter College, the 1913 Tudor-style wing on Lexington Avenue from 68th to 69th Street known as Thomas Hunter Hall is easy to miss. Apparently it's a lot younger than we thought --Гатерас (talk) 07:34, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

Student Governance
I noted the external link to the Undergraduate Student Government is a bad link. The same link exists on the Hunter College website and it, too, is non-functioning. Triviatracer (talk) 06:49, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Why no Undergraduate & Graduate Sections in the Article?
Why are there no separate sections on undergraduate & graduate study as for other universities? I went to this article to see what Hunter offered on a graduate level & get some background and other than Social Work, there is nothing here. I take it from the inferences and lack of inferences in the article, that Hunter College is NOT a research school, and that if you want research or other aspects of social sciences you must attend a different school. Is there any way to get more information organized and placed on Wikipedia regarding their graduate school? Especially, because the implications in the article, suggest that Hunter is one of the top graduate schools... Stevenmitchell (talk) 23:52, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

Requested move

 * The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section. 

The result of the move request was: moved to Hunter College. Favonian (talk) 12:25, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

Hunter College, City University of New York → Hunter College – The official name of the university is Hunter College as originally stated and then recently moved by Varscona72. Current status is inaccurate and inconsistent with other universities in the system like Baruch College. Varscona has made similar erroneous edits to other pages recently. Please see official website for support. http://www.hunter.cuny.edu/abouthunter Hunterc11 (talk) 06:13, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment: as long as there is no need for any disambibuation page, I think I can support this, but could there be some other Hunter College somewhere in the world? Also note that York College, City University of New York does have a page name like this. Pinut (talk) 16:03, 4 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Comment: The user Varscona72 appears to have an obsession with the List of Kappa Sigma chapters. Along with that, he/she has made numerous moves of articles for various universities, as indicated here. Her initial move of "Hunter College" was so ill-conceived, that he/she could not even spell "university" correctly, and had to orchestrate another move, because of that error. I propose that this editor, User:Varscona72, should cease and desist from editing here, if he continues with this pattern of ill-conceived and poorly researched moves of entire articles.
 * In each of these cases, Varscona72 should have started a discussion at the original pages, so that other editors could have an input into such a drastic move as renaming an entire article. This shows total lack of consideration and ignorance of proper protocol here at Wikipedia. --Skol fir (talk) 18:31, 4 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Comment: There is a Hunter College High School @ 71 East 94th Street in New York, NY 10128 -- Hunter College High School PTA, and it has a WIki article with the title written out in full as Hunter College High School. However, in the "Maps" section for Hunter College, they list two schools affiliated with the college, Hunter High School and Hunter Elementary School (The Campus Schools). Officially, it appears that the word "College" has been omitted from their names. Apparently, their PTA doesn't know any better.
 * Hunter College itself sponsors a Science High School, but that is called Manhattan/Hunter College High School for Sciences.
 * Agree with move: I don't see why "Hunter College" cannot stand on its own. It needs no disambiguation, and adding CUNY to its name may actually confuse more people than it helps. The world over, Hunter College already has a reputation on its own merit, both academic and otherwise, and needs no further explanation. --Skol fir (talk) 16:46, 4 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Comment: Support this move. The official website for Hunter College calls it "Hunter College". --Skol fir (talk) 02:25, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Move back to Hunter College: previous move seems to have BOLD and without consensus p  b  p  00:25, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Support. So long as Hunter College college redirects here, this is unnecessary disambiguation. Jenks24 (talk) 09:40, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

Image alignment
Do all of the images have to be aligned to the right, have a 250px size (except for that one image that has a 200px size), and located in the "History" section? It would help readability if these images had different sizes, different alignments, and different placements, so that the images don't all come bunched-up at the first section of the article. Epic Genius (talk) 15:05, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't know what you're seeing, but the images are *not* all in the "History" section in an average set-up. The layout you were moving too put images much too close tofather left-right, squeezing the text between them and making it harder to read.  It was visually busy, unnecessarily so. BMK (talk) 20:43, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes, they are. Go look at the wikicode in the "history" section. All of the images are in the "history" section. Epic Genius (talk) 21:14, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
 * OK, I've rearranged the sections. If there are still any errors, please tell me. Thanks, Epic Genius (talk) 23:21, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Looks fine now. Thanks. BMK (talk) 01:20, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
 * No problem. Epic Genius (talk) 02:38, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
