Amazing college. Throughout my 2 years there, my advisors were always there to help and guide me. They have a lot of facilities, including a gym. If this college had a undergrad program, I would definitely stayed here instead transferring to another college. I know I'll miss eating my lunch next to the beautiful beach. Peak college experience here.

Whatever you do, do not come here. If you are in High School and planning to major in business and are sure you are going to a public school, go to Baruch. The course work is much more rigorous. KCC is high school level work at best.

Biggest mistake I've ever made coming here
Overall 1.8
No so good of a college Professors are no help. Equipment in the science labs is used and beat up. No chances of you getting much fun for money you pay for if you havent got a hold of the financial aid.
