(the) City University of New York. [kjuni]. It's the public college
system of New York City, which includes Brooklyn College, Queens College,
the College of Staten Island, Borough of Manhattan Community College,
Baruch, Kingsborough, Queensborough, Hunter, CCNY...
Not to be confused with SUNY [suni], the State University of New York,
which has 'university centers' at Binghamton, Albany, Stony Brook, and
Buffalo, and a huge number of local Community Colleges all over the
state. Some parts of Cornell are part of SUNY, if i remember correctly.
