(ranked the safest in New York City by The Daily Beast news website) offers easy access to the
rich professional opportunities and resources of Manhattan. Our students have interned at some

growing borough. It is not hard to understand why. Brooklyn
is home to cutting edge start-ups, trendy restaurants,
and world-famous entertainment.

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

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.
