When you want to take a break from your

by several New York City subway lines in front
of campus, and is three blocks from Atlantic
Terminal, a transportation hub with additional

BROOKLYN – THE PLACE TO BE
Brooklyn is the place to be in New York City.
The borough is the most culturally diverse in
the city, home to many celebrities and artists
and the LIU campus is just steps away from the
Barclays Center, top arts venues and the trendy
cafes and restaurants of Fort Greene.
TECH TRIANGLE
LIU Brooklyn is one of 12 universities in an
area known as the Tech Triangle, a diverse
community of over 500 technical, creative,

invested to develop the area, making it a great
place to study, live and make connections.
BARCLAYS CENTER
If you enjoy sports games and concerts,
the $1.03 billion multi-purpose Barclays Center
is just three blocks away and hosts fantastic
sport and music events. It is also the home of
the NBA’s Brooklyn Nets.

Prospect Park is a beautiful green space where
you can relax and enjoy the outdoors. There are
hiking trails, a waterfall garden, a zoo and free
summer concerts. The Brooklyn Museum of Art
and the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens are located
right next to the park.

Nathan’s Famous Hot Dogs, the amusement
park, and its sandy beaches that stretch for
almost 5km.
