I couldn't be more happy than the decision I chose to attend Berkeley College. I have become a better person as well as a matured business woman and have been able to accomplish so many goals already. I have obtained so much knowledge and continue to utilize my information from class to my everyday business ventures.

I love it here. Like any other college the internet connection isn't amazing but its in Manhattan. The MTA is not the best, anyone from New York will be able to tell you that. Overall, its an amazing college, your experience is what you make it.

In the year and a half that I've been here, I've had great professors. I would and have recommended this school to others that I know who are looking to continue their education(s).
Bad reviews
Overall 1.3
Worst college ever. 50% international student.. so if you come to u.s. for the "american experience" you won't find it here! Some professors are great, but most of them are horrible. Its a quarter base college- its only 3 months and you learn absolutely nothing. Extremely expensive, and have bad reputation.

This school is horrible. I tried to transfer and they didnt tranfer my credits. i hate this school with a passion
Overall 1.6
Really bad financial aid management and unprofessional staff. I was accused of attending a class I've never set foot in, and the academics aren't challenging at all. The business teachers are great though. However, this school is not worth the price nor are there any good food places. Youre better off somewhere public

Bad.

Hated this school. Most teachers are horrible and dont care about anything and they dont have a clue. Having a fashion prof. who cant dress is just insulting. School is wayyy over priced.

I hate it and wish i never came here

There is no student housing for the midtown campus, nor do they assist you to find housing. The clubs are a joke. For example: the president of the Fashion Club should be a fashion major, not an IT major. The internet blocks MANY websites. Difficult to do research on their wifi. It is also very slow and looses connection.

Financial Aid and Advisement are the worst! No attempts to help. Advisement doesn't know what and how to advise to choose your classes properly. They assigne extra classes that you dont need!!! Horrible !

Had I done my research earlier I would not be in this school. Except for a few great professors no one at this school cares and no one will help u! Advisement and Fin. Aid are the worst!No attempts to help and u have to miss class and sit there for hours waiting for someone to see you. Horrible school, save your $, go to CUNY!!!
