CUNY Brooklyn College Reviews

"Brooklyn College is a commuter school so students don't have the typical dorm/party experience but it's a great school with interesting programs and great faculty."

"As a student in the School Cousneling Program, I feel that Brooklyn College truly has all the amenities needed to help me reach my goals of becoming a licensed certified counselor. Computers and Library are extremely accessible, with ample printers and wifi use in the buildings. Professors are also accessible, with e-mails, phone numbers, and office hours readily available. I enjoy going to class and working with my fellow cohorts, because the atmosphere is pleasant, open, and diverse. I always feel comfortable walking to and from class as well in the surrounding areas. The campus is beautiful!"

"Good program, but very tough. Messed me up in that I had to wait an extra semester to graduate because there weren't enoigh classes to accommodate the large number of students."

"It was a good major because I was very interested in the subject. Unless you know what you are doing after college, you should make sure to pick a major that will help in your career choice. I used mine to pursuit a career in law."

"Brooklyn College is about to open an investment academy that will enable the selected students to run a hedge fund with real money, which is a great opportunity for students in business programs. However, it is too bad that we don't have enough courses for those who are specializing in finance to choose from."

"My program, probably like most MA programs, really depends on how much you put into it. If you are the type of student willing to go out there and make connections, form relationships with faculty, and be the main advocate in ensuring you get something out of the program, you will benefit from this program. If you aren't this type of person, it probably isn't for you. All in all, it is an affordable Psychology program with small classes and good faculty. Could definitely use some improvements, hopefully those will be coming soon."

"My program is Master of Science in Business Administration: Global Business and Finance. I am an international student and this semester is my first. The International Student Services office was very helpful and the process of preparing all necessary documents went smoothly. I like variety of courses offered. Professors are qualified and helpful. Campus and all facilities are very comfortable. There is anything you may need. This college offers the great value for money."

"Brooklyn College has an exceptionally experienced and knowledgeable staff. The workload is not overly strenuous and most of the work that is required is relevant to the work that I currently do."

"The MFA in Television Production Program at Brooklyn College was one of my top-choices along with MFA in Film Production at NYU and SVA. Having studied at Brooklyn College for a semester and having collaborated with kids from both NYU and SVA, I can say that the program I've chosen is the best one so far. And it is mainly due to two factors: faculty and technology. The faculty comprises incredible people who are professionals in their field and are always eager to share their knowledge with you. I've learnt a lot from them and I know that in two years' time I will be a professional filmmaker thanks to them. What is important is that they are all active as filmmakers, so they know what is happening in the industry and give us the latest updates on all the trends. Brooklyn College TV Center is known for its outstanding facilities. As graduate students, we have a 24-hour access to the studio itself, editing labs, radio stations and equipment. It all allows us to produce whatever we want whenever we want, so I've been working on many productions outside the program, thanks to this access. As for the cons, I can only name one: lack of equipment, meaning that you have to reserve the best cameras (Canon Mark III), or lights, mics, etc, a week in advance, or they will be taken. But that shortage of equipment takes place more at the end of semester when everyone is engaged in long final project productions. All in all, I love this program and I will definitely recommend it to the incoming students."

"I don't have anything really to say about the program as a whole since I have just began the program itself."

"Overall a great program that is terribly underfunded. Not their fault, it is a city school and must compete for tax dollars. But the lack of funds can be felt. Despite that, the faculty and education is pretty top notch."

"Brooklyn college is a great college and i'm very proud to be one of the students there."

"The school counseling graduate program at Brooklyn college is one of great passion. I would personally have to say that I love how supportive the professors are. They are very passionate about what they do and why they do it. Their professionalism and enthusiasm is portrayed within their lectures and class activities. The coursework is heavy but I am confident that by the end of the program; I will be prepared for any challenge the school counseling field may have in store for me."

"An affordable experience with an opportunity to build a network in one of the most attractive cities for business majors"

"The CUNY system offers a great opportunity for independent students looking to get a degree! I would recommend Brooklyn College to anyone that is willing to apply themselves and is motivated to learn."

"Brooklyn College might be a good college for people to attend who live in the area. Living in another boro makes it very difficult for me to make it to class. If it comes to a CUNY education I would choose the university that is closest to you."

"It is very nice program but include a lot of hard work and commitment."

"I am impressed with the academic aspects of the program, but i do not like the location"

"The MFA Acting program is top-notch; the faculty are accessible and incredibly knowledgeable. They truly are experts in their field."

"My graduate program is very inclusive and continuously seeks to provide sufficient help to their students."
