Hi! I'm planning on taking a gap year after high school and I want to potentially attend a community college in Brooklyn during that year. Does anyone have any recommendations or experiences to share?
Hello! If you're considering community colleges in Brooklyn, one of the main institutions you'll likely come across is Kingsborough Community College (KCC). KCC is actually part of the City University of New York (CUNY) system and it offers a wide range of associate degree programs in several fields. The campus is located on a peninsula in Manhattan Beach and provides some beautiful views too!
Another option you might consider is Brooklyn College, also part of the CUNY system. While it isn't a community college, it does offer a broad selection of undergraduate degree programs which might interest you. It's located in the Flatbush neighborhood, near Prospect Park.
One of the benefits of attending a school in the CUNY system, such as KCC or Brooklyn College, is that there are a number of resources available to students within the wider network of schools, including the CUNY Start program and the Accelerated Study in Associate Programs (ASAP), both of which aim to help students earn their associate degree as quickly as possible.
Remember to explore the course offerings and resources provided at each of these schools to see which could potentially be the best fit for you. Good luck with your decision!
