I'll be visiting John Jay on Feb. 15 I'm looking for others who could share advice and their stories about John Jay or other colleges in the same area. I'm also willing to schedule meetings if some wish to meet with me. My main draw to John Jay is that it has a forensic psychology program which is hard to find in most schools before grad school. Any information or help would be greatly appreciated. And any advice about traveling NYC could help me as well. :)
