I like the campus but the courses like the core classes is really annoying their so long and some of them don't make any sense to me just a waist of time and money. The SEEK department needs to stop lying about what they do to help students its a total joke. If you dont have enough money FASFA will help you..you dont need their extra few hundred bucks for them to treat you like your not a human.

Not so bright
Typical CUNY experience: Admissions is a nightmare. They'll lose, misplace or otherwise cause to disappear your paperwork and info. You may be accepted and then shelved an extra semester until you can start classes.They will not bother to accept 85% of your credits, even if they are from another CUNY. Ask me how I know this. Facilities are a haphazard mix of new and ancient. Even the new buildings are spottily maintained. Cafeteria is a dungeon that needs a paint job. Like NYC, the school is segregated as hell- Students are mildly more friendly than at other CUNYs, but still idiotic, close-minded and clannish in the main though. No student life to speak of. Commuter school all the way. Professors are either clueless adjuncts with no pedagogical skill or arrogant middle-aged burnouts going through the motions. Educational quality is low overall in liberal arts, not much better in sciences.I tried to make the most of it, but it just...sucks. Sorry.

We have the beauricratic stooge fest, not only in Brooklyn College but in all colleges, but my experiece at Brooklyn College was pretty decent and I did what I was supposed to have done, that is to say, study hard, go to the learning center when I needed to go for tutoring, homework help etc.find out the office hours of the professors and so many of them were helpful. you have to be on top of everything, seek and ye shall find, yes! that also means meeting people making your own social life and circles if you want to look at it this way, also making friends in all places, and the Hillel place was pretty good, met lots of cool and helpful folks there too. ask students around in regards to the best professors, word of mouth gets by but you have to be on top of this it is not going to be placed on a silver platter. GET OUT THERE IN CAMPUS AND MEET PEOPLE, IN CLASS TOO, the experience of the college is what you and only you will make of it.
