Review of CUNY Brooklyn College

from New York City, NY

Describe your college in three sentences.

Brooklyn College has a beautiful campus in which a student can be in the city but not feel like they are in the city while on campus. There are many opportunities and resources that are available to the students to help them get internships and academic help.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Take advantage of the Magner Center, which is basically the career guide and different opportunities on campus. The people there will help you pick a major based on your personality and interests. They will also help you get internships.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

Sciences in Brooklyn College are especially hard because the professors challenge you and are a pain but its because they want you to really understand the material and succeed.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

Brooklyn College is a commuter school and doesn't have on campus housing. They do have a residence hall a couple blocks aways from the school for people who need housing.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

The food on campus is really good. They have a variety of food from spanish food to asian cuisine and vegetarian options. The only thing about the food on campus is that it's slightly expensive. I usually buy food from outside. Outside campus there's Mcdonalds, Burger King, a deli, fisherman's cove, subway, quiznos, starbucks, popeyes, halal carts, and much more, which might be cheeper than on campus food.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

As a Brooklyn College student, you can use your student I.D. to get into the brooklyn museum and botanical gardens for free and many other museums and theaters at a discounted price.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

Even with the tuition rising for public colleges, brooklyn college is still cheaper than private schools and offers the equal rigorous education.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

There are many clubs on campus ranging from ethnic and community service clubs to academic and sports clubs. There's something for everyone.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

This college is not really big on greek life but there are a number of fraternities/sororities on campus. Even if the one you want isn't there, you can bring a chapter onto campus.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

There are security guards around the campus and you have to show them your student I.D. card to enter campus. There are also security personnel to escort you to the train station or car if you don't feel safe walking around alone after dark.
