    Brooklyn college has great professors and provides an incredible learning experience.
    The tuition is very affordable and the quality of education I have received so far is very good.
    Sometimes there are issues with finding help, mostly because most of the staff (aside from professors) is made up of students.
    Tips for prospective students

    With Brooklyn College you will receive a great education at an affordable cost. The professors I've had were all very good, but be prepared to find your own way around outside of the classroom with little help from student services.
    Food and Dining

    Brooklyn College is located in a great place surrounded by many popular food chains as well as small dining locations. There are also many options on campus.
    What to do for fun

    There are many students events organized by the many clubs at Brooklyn College.
    Bang for the buck

    Very low cost of admission compared to other schools, well recognized university and a great education with awesome professors.
    Great for these types of students

    Serious about your education, enjoy a beautiful campus with a lot of greenery, and also looking for a social environment that offers many clubs and organizations.
    Campus Safety

    Maybe even a little too much security.

    as long as you choose your professors wisely and take advantage of academic advisement to set u your class schedule, you'll enjoy the environment and diversity

    Brooklyn College is one of the most beautiful colleges I've ever seen. The campus is easy to navigate to people who are new, and the people are so nice. There is such school spirit that you can't miss.
    Tips for prospective students

    If you don't know where something is, just ask - someone will tell you where it is. If you are a commuter, always leave 15 minutes early since the MTA likes to be surprising sometimes. Study on the lawn on beautiful days, it makes the work less intimidating :)
    Academic Rigor

    The classes are extremely fun, but tough. The courses are very academically intense but the professors make it interesting. There is also a lot of work that you have to do on your own, without them assigning it. Like looking up background information on what you're learning, so you can better answer questions in class or on tests.
    Dorm Life

    As a commuter, dorm life is something I don't experience. I live in my apartment in Manhattan. I hear the dorms are awesome though!
    Food and Dining

    The food and dining are great at Brooklyn College. We even have an on campus starbucks which is pretty awesome.
    What to do for fun

    There is always some group on the lawn playing hakki sack, jamming to music or hanging out. Just walk over to one of the groups and join in. It's really fun.

    Am learning a lot

    The school pushes you to achieve more as it pertains to education. No mediocre work is accepted and you are able to take what you learned in the classroom and apply it to everyday life situations.
    Am enjoying being here

    I really enjoy being there because I meet a lot of people from different walks of life and the campus is beautiful and relaxing especially in the summer.
    Bang for the buck

    The library is great place to go and find resources as well as to study. Great college overall.
    Tips for prospective students

    For prospective students- pay attention in class, try to get involve in activities at the school, get to know your professors and enjoy your time in school.
    Great for these types of students

    Always find out about the professor before registering for a class and wait to see if your going to use the class textbook before purchasing it.

    Am learning a lot

    Brooklyn College provides an array of classes and some are writing intensive, so it is hard to miss a beat.
    Am enjoying being here

    I love Brooklyn College, it is nothing like high school. It is a beatiful campus and provides so many opportunities. Theres a cafeteria, a gym, and a student center (plus much more) and it makes it feel less like a commuter school.
    Bang for the buck

    People are suprised at the amount I pay for such a great education. What people are paying 40,000 dollars a year for, I'm getting for 5,000 dollars.
    Tips for prospective students

    Join a learning community! It makes being a incoming freshman easier and helps you make friends.
    Great for these types of students

    Brooklyn College is one of the most diverse CUNYs. People come in all shapes and sizes over here.

    This school is worth attending for the tuition that it costs to attend. Definitely a clean, safe school with a wonderful library, many resources, top professors and a beautiful campus close to home.

    Use the library's resources, its a good quiet study place. you will think its your second home, it comfortable and has a lot of space to find the right area that fits you.
    Academic Rigor

    It is tough, no doubt about it, but if you work hard, you are sure to earn high grades, there are great professors to help you so seek their advise during office hours with any questions. don't be shy, that's what they are there for. don't wait until the end of the semester.
    Food and Dining

    expensive
    What to do for fun

    join extracurricular activities, make new friends
    Campus Safety

    brooklyn college is a great school. it has a beautiful campus, a variety of interesting courses and a very big resource-filled library. however, one thing lack in brooklyn college is the lack of a thriving social culture and atmosphere.
    Tips for prospective students

    since brooklyn college is a local school, there isn't many opportunities to socialize with people and make new friends. this actually makes networking very hard.
    What to do for fun

    since brooklyn college is a local school, there isn't many opportunities to socialize with people and make new friends. everyone basically goes home after they attend class. however, brooklyn college's west quad building has a big pool that's great for swimming.
    Bang for the buck

    in terms of a college education, you can't beat brooklyn college.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    brooklyn college's west quad building has a very beautiful pool along with a great campus.
    Campus Safety

    aside from rowdy high school kids from across the block, the school is very safe.

    Brooklyn has a Beautiful campus. There administration system is not organized, my prior 2 year community college had such a higher standard. It's an ok school, but wished the administration was better!
    Academic Rigor

    My department has very strict attendance policy that I do not agree with!
    Dorm Life

    Dorm life is decent. People are loud and do not respect quiet hours. Has 24hr security.. which is a plus? even if there was a problem I don't really think they would be able to do much. WAY OVER PRICED!
    Food and Dining

    There is none.
    What to do for fun

    Head into manhatten, or other parts of brooklyn.
    Bang for the buck

    The tuition is good, but it is increasing $300 every semester. The housing is way over priced. you can find an apartment for more than half the rent there, and in a better neighborhood then the residence hall.
    Great for these types of students

    Diverse, international.
    Clubs and Activities

    They have a lot of clubs to chose from
    Greek Life

    They have greek life, but i am not involved. They only have 2 nationally recognized sororities and 2 only recognized at brooklyn.
    Campus Safety

    There is security at every entrance and you are supposed to show brooklyn id to gain access.. does that happen all the time? No.
