Brooklyn College is a place to chill, amazing campus, good chill spots for groups and alone time. Friendly colleges, staff, and professors. May be old and run down at spots but there's always construction everywhere you go. Amazing library and good college to making friends in.

This school is the most amazing school Ive ever been to. The professors are kind and very knowledgable. The staff in the library are so motivating. This school changed my life and my perspective towards learning. The best part is the campus! Its gorgeous, when ever Im feeling down I just step out side and instantly all my worries fade away.

The most quietest school ever if you want friends and a social life, do not come here
Overall 1.2
H-O-R-R-I-F-I-C. The faculty are aloof, rude, and unaccommodating. Professors in the STEM departments are horrendous. There is ZERO social life and no culture aside from cheating culture. Students have no passion and only care about the easy A. The gen ed system is laughably insulting. If you want the "best four years of your life," stay far away.

This school offers no help on advisement and has the laziest workers and staff. The science department is a joke and won't teach you anything to pass.
Overall 1.3
The Computer Science Department is crumbling as well as their central building. It's an ancient facility, with ancient teaching ways of teaching. Most of my professors did not want to be there. The student body as a result is depressed and indifferent. I have never figured out why this the CS department was ever held in any regard, seeing it today.

worst school for biology. DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT GO HERE IF YOU WANT TO DO ANYTHING WITH MEDICINE, IT WILL RUIN UR PASSION FOR IT. I ALMOST DROPPED OUT AND CHANGED MY MAJOR 5 MILLION TIMES BECAUSE OF THE BIO DEPARTMENT. THE PROFESSORS DO NOT CARE TO HELP, THEY WANT YOU TO FAIL BECAUSE BIO IS COMPETITIVE. DO NOTTTTTT GOOOOOO HEREEEEEEE. SAVE UR SELF

A lot of things could use improvement. The computer science department is atrocious, especially in comparison with other CUNYs.

If this isn't pretty much your last and only option of a school, then I'd say pick another school to attend. The campus buildings are disgusting and deteriorating, a majority of the professors don't have the passion or drive to teach, and the resources are very limited. I regret applying here more than anything. Save yourself the headache.

Ehhh, not really much of a great college experience. The buildings are always being renovated every week and still looks like a pile of heap. Professors are not no good here. Trust me, dont apply.
Overall 1.5
I hate Brooklyn college. The science department has only 3 professors that teach 20 sections! The professors here dont care about you, and plus the buildings are built in the 500 b.c and looks trashy.
