City University’s status as a private or public institution depends on its location and specific campus. In many countries, such as the United States, City University often refers to public universities, like the City University of New York (CUNY), which is state-funded. However, some institutions named City University may be privately funded, such as City University of Seattle.
To determine its classification, verify the university’s official website or accreditation details. Public universities typically receive government funding and offer lower tuition for residents, while private universities rely on tuition and endowments, often costing more regardless of residency.
