Located in the Midwood neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York, CUNY Brooklyn College occupies a 35-acre Georgian-style campus characterized by its iconic clock tower and expansive quad. Founded in 1930 as the first public coeducational liberal arts college in New York City, Brooklyn College operates as one of the senior colleges within the City University of New York (CUNY) system. The college maintains strong academic programs in business, education, film production, and performing arts, with the Murray Koppelman School of Business and the Conservatory of Music serving as notable institutions within the campus. While many students commute to campus via nearby subway lines, the college provides limited student housing through the privately-owned Residence Hall at Brooklyn College, and the school competes in NCAA Division III athletics as the Bulldogs.
