The City College of New York has been selected as one of the most environmentally responsible colleges according to The Princeton Review, which features City College in the 2017 edition of The Princeton Review Guide to 375 Green Colleges.
"We strongly recommend The City College of New York and the other fine colleges in this guide to the many environmentally-minded students who seek to study and live at green colleges," said The Princeton Review's Robert Franek, Senior VP-Publisher.
