What Students Are Saying
Brooklyn College is located in a great place surrounded by many popular food chains as well as small dining locations. There are also many options on campus.
Jonathan from Brooklyn, NY
The food on campus is really good. They have a variety of food from spanish food to asian cuisine and vegetarian options. The only thing about the food on campus is that it's slightly expensive. I usually buy food from outside. Outside campus there's Mcdonalds, Burger King, a deli, fisherman's cove, subway, quiznos, starbucks, popeyes, halal carts, and much more, which might be cheeper than on campus food.
Krystal from New York City, NY
Pretty good variety of food and affordable ! Also there MANY places in Flatbush you guys can go (Like this amazing authentic Fisherman's Cove) to get food. Just explore!

Viktor from Brooklyn, NY
Outside the campus, there's a choice of fast food , Starbucks, target, and local delis. The campus has a lunchroom with a great menu. sushi, roast beef, stew, coffee, smoothies, sandwiches, pizza and hamburgers. Everyday the menu is changed according to the special of the day at a reasonable price.
Sindy from Brooklyn, NY
since brooklyn college is a local school, there isn't many opportunities to socialize with people and make new friends. everyone basically goes home after they attend class. however, brooklyn college's west quad building has a big pool that's great for swimming.
