The Tech TriangleOver 500 technical, creative, and entrepreneurial businesses make Brooklyn their headquarters. The Tech Triangle area constantly sparks new ideas, inventions and businesses, and LIU Brooklyn is located right in the heart of this action.

Famous for food Brooklyn’s cafés and restaurants are big news in NYC. Within a few streets you can try authentic Neapolitan-style pizza, enjoy a Latin American picnic in Sunset Park, and indulge your sweet tooth at a chocolate factory in DUMBO. The food culture here is so popular that several tour companies have sprung up, offering guided visits around the best places to eat.

A world of entertainment Famous tourist attractions such as Times Square and the Empire State Building are only minutes away by subway, but most Brooklyn locals find all of the entertainment they need right on their doorstep. Just three blocks from campus is the Barclays Center - home to the NBA Brooklyn Nets and major concert events. If you are interested in something more cultural, the Brooklyn Museum of Art offers both ancient and modern exhibits.

City, sea and green spaces Brooklyn enjoys the best views of the iconic Manhattan skyline and is filled with beautiful green spaces. Prospect Park is a short walk from campus, where you can relax in the waterfall garden, get close to nature in the zoo or watch a free concert in the summer. And when the sun is shining, take a tip from the locals and head to Coney Island beach for walks along the sand, hot dogs and amusement parks.

A welcoming community Brooklyn is home to students, young professionals and families from across America and all around the world. It is a famously friendly place where you will get to know your neighbors as well as the people you meet in your local coffee shop, bakery and bookstore. LIU Brooklyn is ranked as the safest campus in NYC, and the third safest in the USA by influential news website thedailybeast.com. You can be sure that there is no better place to find your home as an international student in America.

TripAdvisor lists 175 different Brooklyn attractions. Strolling over the Brooklyn Bridge, admiring the views from Brooklyn Heights Promenade and taking a food tour are voted the most popular.
