We invite you to explore Brooklyn College and experience one of the most beautiful campuses in the country for yourself. If you are a perspective student or faculty member, let us arrange a tour for you. Come see the new West Quad Center, home to our recreational facilities and student services; our recently renovated library; the bustling Student Center; the impressive Magner Center for Career Development and Internships; and other places our students go to on a typical day. You may also like to attend any of the open houses we sponsor every semester.
The Campus 
Our campus, ranked among the most beautiful in the United States by the Princeton Review, is a thriving academic oasis in the heart of Brooklyn. The college’s 26 acres feature green lawns, two classic quadrangles and a lily pond. Among our 13 buildings you’ll discover our newly renovated library; extensive recreational resources; multiple performance spaces; a television center and a student-run radio station. Later this year, we’ll be opening the college’s first residence hall, only two blocks from campus.
The Neighborhood
The college is located in the Flatbush/Midwood community, a residential neighborhood that is both very much a part of the city and a refuge from it. The bustling Flatbush side of our campus boasts a wide variety of dining and shopping options, while the quieter Midwood side features tree-lined streets of spacious private residences. It also has one of the best bike paths in the city that leads all the way to Sheepshead Bay.
Visitors are especially welcome to enjoy a range of college-sponsored programs on our campus, including:
- The Brooklyn Center for the Performing Arts, which hosts world-class dance, music and theater events.
- Brooklyn College Preparatory Center for the Performing Arts, which offers a community program of classes in dance, music and theater for children and adults.
- The Center for the Study of Brooklyn, which studies the borough and its communities and their particular concerns.
- Brand-new recreational facilities, which include a swimming pool and fitness center, as well as outdoor tennis courts.
