    Disclaimer: I am not a student or educator. I am reviewing the tour of the school that my high school students and I participated in. We were met by gentleman (I'll update his name later) and led to the auditorium where he gave my students an overview of the college, the application and financial aid process. That was immediately followed by a brief Q&A and then we heard 1 testimonial of a gentleman named Walik who is a part of the admissions team but is also a Social Worker. He attended Medgar for his associates and went to Hunter for Grad school so it was great for the students to hear from him. He spoke in great details about all thr programs Medgar have to support those students who were academically advanced such as (SEEK) and an accelerated program that allows an individual to complete their Associates in 1 1/2 yr. In other cases students needing remedial classes can take them at discounted rates outside of the CUNY credit course pricing range. The full time tuition they shared is currently $3, 165. We began a tour in the nursing department. The tech was a beautiful Muslim lady (forgot her name) who was well versed in her knowledge of her field. She explained the different components of the nursing program and application process, the different levels within the program, licensing , exams necessary, academic requirements and specialities within the field. In the lab where we met her they had about 6 mannequins for practice (babies and adults ) that can perform human functions and is a great tool for nursing students who need to practice. There are apparently 6 of these kinds of labs. Throughout the rest of the facility I noticed that the library was nicely renovated. We also got a chance to see the cafeteria which was incredibly small but Medgar apparently only has 7,000 students compared to Baruch which has approximately 36,000. Based on the information shared it appears that Medgar would be a great fit for the student looking for small class sizes and a smaller campus/setting where folks are all familiar with one another. Again, I am not a student but the tour guides insisted that everyone knew each other. The hallways were seemingly quiet with lots of seating and study areas fitted with charging stations to meet the needs of the students. I'd suggest touring the school yourself before making a decision and def speak to current students.

    Downstairs of the newly renovated library...its pretty nice

    Reviewing as a visitor to dropoff a soil sample at IH5139, I got forced to see this urban oasis on…read morethe same road north 2mi from my home and what an impressive, generous campus. First, the dropoff of the soil sample was easy with a dropoff box and I encourage anyone wanting a soil sample tested to dropoff or ship to this lab. Only a few others on the East Coast (namely land grant colleges like Rutgers, Penn State, SUNY, etc.) do these in case you wonder if your garden is safe for growing edible plants. As for the campus, a stately grand colonial architectural feel which even the new buildings like the arts center maintains. Copious all brick and white wood accents all exteriors with large grand height and stature as to shield, distance, and obviate the buzzing Brooklyn noisy locales all around the perimeter from the Flatbush commercial strip to Ocean Ave's speedy traffic to the Caribbean and Russian and other communities adjacent. Entry points are namely from Ocean Ave at Ave H by car to the ring road, Campus Road, or Brooklyn College stop on 2/5 trains on the eastern edge. Easy navigation thanks to a simple layout over just 35 acres makes getting lost unlikely even for unfamiliar visitors using the campus as a park. The famous lily pond is particularly tranquil. The most recent famous event here was Sanders' campaign launch a few months ago, but the arts center is its own busy community set of arts events and there're so very many student orgs doing so many great activities here. Brooklyn College is also home to a cafe in Boylan Hall and nice athletics fields which while not for public use are nice open spaces to admire and enjoy. All in all, a wonderful campus with tons of community works totalling a great asset to the community and city.

    Great campus, exceptional neighborhood. Came here with my brother for a college tour. Very…read moreinformative.

    I received my BSN (bachelors in nursing) here, so I did the professional / clinical phase of the…read morenursing program (full time) here as well as several of the pre-reqs for it part-time so I have spent some time here, unfortunately. I say that is unfortunate because the entire institution is a bit of a scheme. They take every penny they can from you, I had to fight to get some of my pre-reqs transferred over and they wouldn't accept several of them because they said it was not comparable although the descriptions were nearly identical. It is worth mentioning that they recently have started a paradigm shift in administration and protocols, so that gives me hope that things here will improve. Although one of these changes is getting rid of the capstone rotation (ie nurse 1-1 preceptor ship at end of program and the one that really matters the most) and replaced with lab simulations and group clinicals, which I do not approve of but at least I was the last class to get the real preceptorship. Would I gamble it, knowing what I know now, with nearly forty thousand dollars a year? Not likely, but it would be interesting to see if the changes will improve or worsen their standing. The new dean of nursing seems to want to change things for the better, so I cautiously have my hopes up. I can look past that, what I can not look past is the attitude of the administration and staff here (NOT referring to the professors, they are the only saving grace this school has other than being close to an empanada truck and the newly built market across the street). I am referring to the nursing "advisors" who I can not even refer to as not being able to care less about you because that would implicate some level of neutrality or apathy; even worse, in reality several of them have more vitriol toward you than apathy. Not only that, but the only thing they are consistent in is their inconsistency and lack of communication. I don't think I can count high enough to document how many times students would miss a deadline, a class, an event, a registration, a requirement, an-ANTHING because they do not communicate it. They don't tell you what needs to be done, when or how. When you ask them they religiously tell you to ask your colleagues / other students, then when you get misinformation from people who, themselves hearing it by word of mouth, they literally yell at you for not knowing something that is their responsibility to inform you on. I honestly don't get it - they have Blackboard, it seems like it would cut out a lot of the back and forth to just make one CLEAR, COHESIVE and STANDARD schedule of requirements, resources and instructions and post it for all students to have access to. To demonstrate my point, I remember one time I went to them in 1st or 2nd level nursing program about classes because there was some confusion about signing up for odd-number clinical with odd-number lecture sections or something. The advisor saw me reading the schedule on her door -- said nothing. After several minutes of planning my schedule I asked her a question about it and she said "oh those are out of date, they have been for over six months". Then WHY ARE THEY STILL ON YOUR DOOR (facing the hall for every student to see and refer to as an "official" source of information)? Literally every semester there were always, always, always, always several issues with clinical rotations. Either they have not been able to get enough locations signed up so students don't get placed (and thus either get held back or have to watch videos in school of procedures that we are paying 38k/year for hands-on experience), or they don't have enough instructors, or the instructors don't show up and fall off the planet, etc. I think you get the idea, and look I'm not salty. I graduated dual honors cum laude and was in the top 5% of my class but if you're considering LIU nursing I think you should be aware of their past struggles. The only saving grace this university has is the professors, who are the only reason they got the stars they have (if I could rate the professors on Yelp independently I would give them 5 stars). The professors here really truly do care. Several will give you their personal number if you have any problems or questions, or make themselves available to you. Honestly I would have a hard time finding a better group of people and respectable professionals. /END rant

    I called today to join their program and the reception for admissions was very rude and nonchalant…read more I will not be applying here, thanks!

    Today I attended an Open House session at St. Joseph College…read more The Open House was well organized and the campus tour give by the students (two freshman) was informative. The campus is spread over two block and is near the Pratt institute campus. My impression of this college is very positive. Plus- Small school, personal attention, small classes. 90% of the student body are commuters. Neighbor is historical- Clinton Hill. School is close to the city. The tuition is reasonable for a private school. The story is acessible by subway (G-train) and buses on Mytle Ave. and Dekalb Ave. (This review is from the view poinr of a parent with a college bound child.)

    The school isn't hard to find, but trying to figure which building the administration is very hard…read more The trees need trimming because it covers the signs. The library and classrooms need a huge makeover because everything looks like a public primary school. 13 block walk from Dekalb ave station. The people are nice, but the school isn't organized. Being a non-matriculated student here, I did not get on the right foot in. I do not take classes physically here but the problems I had to encounter do not make me want to take any in the future. I was charged for a $716 mandatory insurance because I was "placed" on a list with the matriculated students. And I didn't get any prior physical mail until an invoice came to my doorstop. The problem was taken care of, but they need better correspondence to their students before giving students private information to companies without the students consent. Yes, this school is in a historic area, but hey, this is the 21st century and you are in NYC, upgrade please!
