What Students Are Saying

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.
Jonathan from Brooklyn, NY
sometimes it got difficult for me but if you make friends with other kids in your class, you can make study groups which is VERY helpful
Mellissa from Brooklyn, NY
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.
Krystal from New York City, NY
If you are coming in to Brooklyn College as a freshman/transfer and have no idea where to go/what to do: Just ask someone in the Admissions/Registrar office. There are also many flyers available- and GO to the Student Center! Honestly, like everyone who works there will be happy to help you with anything AND got to the school's website: brooklyncollege.com and really just do your research and read about the programs, etc.

OH and take a Walk Tour! The dates should be up on the BC website- so check that out! You can also probably call someone at the school to find out.

Best of luck :)
Aziza, a student in BC
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.
Kadia-loy from Bronx, NY
Join a learning community! It makes being a incoming freshman easier and helps you make friends.
Sally from Brooklyn, NY
Work hard to get to your goal. Do not procrastinate and enjoy what Brooklyn College has to offer you.
Cyn from Brooklyn, NY
Brooklyn College, is the upmost high class university for students with a community college budget. They provide outstanding service, and their main goal is to see you succeed.
Viktor from Brooklyn, NY
Attending Brooklyn College for two years I have learned to plan around school. scheduling classes for least amount of days will leave you with a schedule with 2-3 hour gaps and long classes. Always meet with your department adviser. Brooklyn College has advisers for every department, and they are not well rounded with knowledge about degrees outside their department, which can be frustrating trying to find the right adviser to help you with your situation.
Sindy from Brooklyn, NY
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.
