New York City College of Technology serves as the CUNY system’s main facility specializing in engineering and tech-related fields. With its Tech Triangle campus positioned right at the foot of the Brooklyn Bridge and the Manhattan Bridge and a couple of blocks from the Brooklyn Queens Expressway, City Tech enjoys a perfect location for accessibility from anywhere in New York City. The college continues to expand, with ground being broken in 2013 for a new 350,000 square foot complex to accommodate City Tech’s core sciences and health programs.
Living near City Tech will put you in the thick of the action in Brooklyn, with all of New York at your fingertips. The campus is within walking distance of the heavily-residential neighborhoods of Brooklyn Heights, Cobble Hill, and Boerum Hill, and the nearby options for shopping, dining, entertainment, and nightlife are practically endless. For a respite from the hectic pace of city life, Cadman Plaza and Fort Greene Park offer tranquil green spaces for you to relax and recharge.
