How I would describe Brooklyn College is like a one-and-done go. I picked only two days to go to campus because I recently moved away from Brooklyn and it's a 2-hour commute from where I live now. My day there is attending my 4 classes and with the breaks in between them, I like to study in the library or finish up work that needs to be done during the weekend, have some lunch with my classmates, etc. The student life here I would say is very inclusive, most people have their groups and just stay to themselves. What I would like to see change is the conditions of the buildings and the club & association environment. The conditions are manageable but could be better, most of the time the elevator doesn't work, very bad wifi, and not too many areas to have lunch, hang out, or study (besides the library). But what I love about Brooklyn college is the diversity and professors, you will see people from all countries here and your professors care about your grades and wellbeing.

In essence, CUNY Brooklyn College offers a diverse student body, robust academic programs, and affordable tuition. Students typically value the supportive faculty and practical learning opportunities. Suggestions for enhancement may include increased student service resources and facility improvements. Ultimately, individual preferences should guide assessments of the college experience.

I'm sure the other departments have professors that have better quality classes. However, as a computer science student, I must say that the majority of professors in the CS department are far from satisfactory. There are a handful of professors in some classes that give you a breath of fresh air, reminding you of how fun learning can be. However, the vast majority will sap your love for learning new concepts. The most common problem is the lack of variability in the way classes are led. Most classes will be held as lectures that encourage little to no engagement from the students. Furthermore, there is no creativity or desire to teach students how to solve problems outside of the box. Other than that, student life is what you'd expect from a CUNY unless you make an effort to find the right group of people. The campus is great compared to the majority of other CUNY campuses just being a couple buildings and hallways.
