CCNY engineering (Electrical) is extremely easy and based on text book and taught by TA's who are warm, caring, friendly and would hang out with you. True, you would not meet any geniuses here but warm nacho loving Latinas, PR's, Dominicans and tons of minorities who will make you feel very much at home. If you are 'white dude' or an 'asian' stay away because your coldness will not go well with the population here! Faculty is super helpful with grades and material. As if you are privately tutored here and with little bit of care, you can kick A+'s in EE subjects without batting an eyelid. Place rocks and the place to be. Compared with Brooklyn Polytech, it is paradise whereas for engineering poly is living H-E-L-L!!!
