Correction: Brooklyn has a nicer campus, hands down, quite classic looking. It’s in Flatbush/Midwood. Their English dept is good, but not as strong as Hunter’s. I don’t know about their film dept. My son spends little time on campus outside of classes. I think Brooklyn might be stronger in film…

How much time do you have to decide?

Perhaps make an appointment with both departments at both schools and visit. Talk to the profs. As I said, you will get a great education at either school.

It also depends on you. My son is a business major, but not super-excited about academics and not passionate about his major. He got into Baruch which is amazing for business but he wanted a less intense environment, so he chose Brooklyn. He’s just looking to get a degree and a well-paying job. My daughter is “on-fire” for dance and loves her classes, plus is really enjoying the other things she’s studying and she found her tribe. That’s more about who my children are than a statement about the school.

You’ll commute to both. You’ll need to be in clubs at both.

You are in good company if you go to either school.
