Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Psychology  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Not so bright This is a random college. Some professors are great and some seem like they are high school teachers. People are complete idiots that do nothing(including no partying). People go home straight away. There are no clubs, no opportunities and no real challenge or academic environment. The campus looks ok, but no dorms. The registration schedules are HORRIBLE. If you want a flexible schedule to choose from - this college is not for you. Friendliness: B+, Social Life: F Have a Question?

I was told to take specific classes for my major my first semester as an out-of-state transfer student, and the next semester someone told me none of those classes I took counted for anything. I was cornered in to only being able to take one class in order to take any other class in my major and was ill-advised in that i couldn't keep up with the course work of that class because i needed the previous class to help me understand this one. I had to drop the class because I was failing, which I have never done in all of my years of schooling. In dropping this class, I was no longer in school that semester because they wouldn't allow me to take any other classes. I contacted the school about retaking this class during summer and just got confused questions and improper advice.."you have to fill out a form in order to attend another school for a semester, we will send it to you, then you fill it out and send it back". I did just that. 3 days after faxing the form back with no response, i called the office and they had no idea what i was talking about and transferred me to about 3 different people who eventually just said they didn't know about a form, i'm supposed to fill something out online. well thanks, now that summer class is filled up and im out of school again. i am not ever going back to brooklyn college. they wasted an entire year and thousands of my dollars FOR NOTHING.

The campus is pretty nice; there is green grass and old looking buildings, and the library is pretty up to date. Nevertheless, the inside of the buildings could use a little help. The student body is very diverse, but I feel as if it is kind of hard to get to know anyone. The atmosphere of the school is a bit like high school (and some people may find that a good thing) because people just come to school in the morning and then leave as soon as their classes are over. Trying to get any help from the people in charge is almost impossible. They make you wait on very long lines and by the time you get to the front they tell you they can't help you and send you to another office on another floor or even in another building. It's like no one knows anything in this school. Trying to get classes is also another impossible task. For freshmen students they use a system known as S.M.A.R.T (I can't remember what it stands for) to make a registration appointment, but it told me that I wasn't in the system, so I had to call over the phone and make an appoitment. In my first semester, the school also gave me a social security number that was NOT mine but had all of my info in it including important scholarship information. I gave them a form to correct this mistake and that's when I thought that everything was okay. However, this semester, they continued to use this made up SS#...they even dropped all of my classes thinking that I didn't pay my tuition. Besides this, some of the classes are extremely overcrowded and it's hard to get a seat...one of my teachers even had some of the students sit outside of the classroom because there was not enough room for everyone! Overall, this school is definitely not a place that I want to continue my education at. Everyone is so disconnected, some of the classes are an extreme waste of time and are BORING, and no one is helpful. It may be a good place to start an education, but that's all I can say for that. All I know is that I can't wait to leave. Surrounding City: A+, Individual Value: F Have a Question? Your Response/Question:     To be informed when someone replies to your comment.
