Brooklyn College

About Me

Intro

Are you looking for a high-quality girl that's also totally a cheap date and down to do whatever? I'm your girl: CUNY Brooklyn, a state school that's had Brooklyn street smarts and was cool way before Jay-Z ever invested in the Nets.

My friends tell me that, much like Brooklyn itself, the best thing about me is my variety. I have undergrad degrees, highly acclaimed graduate programs, sports teams, and a radio show. I'm a woman of juxtapositions: a beautiful, Harvard-lookin' campus in the middle of Flatbush; a highly rigorous and respected college at a way low tuition. I'm an Orthodox-Jews-eating-Caribbean-jerk-chicken-in-the-quad kind of school.

I know it's not that flattering to bill yourself as "cheap and complicated," but…I guess I just did.

Name

The Bulldog

Hometown

Brooklyn…duh. (Though, we'll be real; it's a bit more gritty than the sections of Brooklyn where Martha Stewart goes thrifting.)

Birthdate

1930

Body Type

I have about 13,000 undergraduates and 3,000 graduates all spread out over a few city blocks—which is actually quite slender for a public school, thank you very much.

Current Living Situation

Many incoming freshmen and upperclassmen get some of our new dorms, but I'm in a city, for crying out loud—it's way cooler to live in one of the trendy and iconic neighborhoods nearby, like Ditmas Park, Prospect Park, or Coney Island, so that's what most of my students do.

Relationship Status

I'm in an open relationship with all the CUNYs, but sometimes I think of breaking things off with CUNY Hunter. We're just too competitive about which of us is "the most prestigious city college" for things to work out.

You should apply to me if...

you're interested in an NYU-quality education on an IOU-budget.
