CUNY schools dominate top spots on Princeton Review's list of best colleges in the northeast. Here is what they wrote about Hunter, specifically:

The largest college in the City University of New York, Hunter pulses with energy. Hunter's vitality stems from a large, highly diverse faculty and student body. Its schools-Arts and Sciences, Education, the Health Professions and Social Work-provide an affordable first-rate education. Undergraduates have extraordinary opportunities to conduct high-level research under renowned faculty, and many opt for credit-bearing internships in such exciting fields as media, the arts, and government. The college's high standards and special programs ensure a challenging education.

The Block Program for first-year students keeps classmates together as they pursue courses in the liberal arts, pre-health science, pre-nursing, pre-med or honors. A range of honors programs is available for students with strong academic records, including the highly competitive tuition-free Hunter CUNY Honors College for entering freshmen and the Thomas Hunter Honors Program, which emphasizes small classes with personalized mentoring by the most outstanding faculty. Qualified students also benefit from Hunter's participation in minority science research and training programs, the prestigious Andrew W. Mellon Minority Undergraduate Program, and many other passports to professional success.

We beat out the hoity-toity schools in the area (um, er, that'd be Princeton, Columbia, NYU for example) which makes this girl, also a product of a public school undergraduate education, very pleased. Read the whole review though, they say some pretty amazing stuff about the other CUNY schools.
