The Graduate Center, CUNY

The City University of New York (CUNY; pron.: /_kju_ni/) is the public university system of New York City, and the largest urban university in the United States. CUNY and SUNY (the State University of New York) are separate and independent university systems, although both are public institutions that receive funding from New York State. CUNY, however, is additionally funded by the City of New York.
