<p>Hi everyone,
What is the best community college in nyc? I live in nyc and am taking a year off from school and plan on attending a CC for one year. I am planning on majoring in art history and international relations. The only two community colleges that I know of are Kingsborough community college and borough of Manhattan community college (BMCC). Any advice will be greatly appreciated! :)</p>
<p>Have you been in NYC a long time?How about Kingsborough community college and borough of Manhattan community college (BMCC)?
As I know,there are two other community college in NYC.They are Queensborough Community College and LaGuardia Community College.But I don’t konw too much about these schools.</p>
<p>im interested to know which are the better community colleges as well. i live in brooklyn, but in clinton hill which is not very close to kingsbourough. i’m actually closer to manhattan borough or laguardia but i’m not sure which to go to. i know being white, i’d be the minority at manhattan since it’s 10 percent…</p>
<p>I’m contermplating the same question. I going to start cc in spring 10.Laguardia seems like the better school, however the area is pretty dead, if that matters at all. BMCC seems to have more “ambience”. Plus the area more alive, which is a bonus if you plan on taking night classes. Research both websites extensively and visit both schools.</p>
<p>From the few I know BMCC and LaGuardia are some of the best both of the CUNY system.
BMCC is in the middle of Manhatan and has a great sports division to be a community college. LaGuardia is in Long Island City :/… Nonetheless, LaGuardia has a good fame because it has “from what I remember I read”, at least as twice of percentage of graduating students that transfer to 4 year colleges as compared to the rest of the community colleges in NY. I know people from LaGuardia who transfered to Yale,Columbia,Fordham, etc from the honors program so yeah admission officers know that LaGuardia is above level with regards of its academics. Also BMCC also opened a new building near zone 0 and the new twin towers.</p>
<p>For what I can say, if you are looking to explore New York and have fun and go to a normal 4 year school after go to BMCC its extremely well situated. If you do not care so much about location and infrastructure but are serious about academics and opportunities for extracurricular and transfer to other schools (even top 50 schools if you are a good student) choose LaGuardia.
Dandelionsun about race do not worry… I mean you are in New York… people from all over the world, I mean if you want an “all white school” go to other city not NYC…</p>
