I've had an amazing experience at Berkeley College. The staff is incredibly supportive, always available to help, and genuinely guides students in the right direction. The professors are knowledgeable and excel at teaching real-world scenarios, which allows students to apply what they learn directly to their careers. Berkeley College encourages a strong focus on career development from start to finish. I earned both of my Bachelor’s degrees here, and the accelerated programs have been a significant advantage, helping me advance toward my career goals in no time. Highly recommend!

The worst mistake of my life was accepting a call from their admissions call center and signing up. But I was new to this country and had no guidance. The admissions are money hunger, and once they get you inside, they trap you. Leaving you with a massive student loan debt and the degree they offer is useless. To all prospective students, run away and don't sign up to this college

I was warned about Berkeley college but I didn’t listened and now I have learned my lesson.

I was naive when I first started and they took advantage of it.

Attending this school the school cost were almost $13k my financial aid would cover atlease half and the rest of 6,000 would be cover by students loans.

6k per semester is very expensive unless you can really afford it and I was considered low income.

Keep in mind and don’t make the same mistakes I did even though I was warned. This is a “for profit” private school so they are operated for a profit.

Early in my attendance I was told that I will get 50% off my next degree (Bachelors) once I completed my associates degree with them and naive me fall for that. Until after I completed my associates degree and was told I didn’t qualified for the 50% off since I did not meet the criteria which was never mentioned to me at the time.

If you are going to mention a discount atlease mentioned the criteria. If I would have known those criteria I would have transferred to a CUNY college which would have penciled out cheaper. I only continued attending hoping to get the 50% off and my aid cover most of the other 50% eventually having little to no loans or outstanding balance. But that wasn’t the case since I missed a semester not knowing that semester would exclude me from the tuition discount.

Please please !! Get a statement of accounts for each semester and view the break down cost for the semester and proceed wisely.

Some colleges would take advantage of you if you dont know your info.

I wasn’t able to complete my bachelors and I have been distressed ever since. However, I’m glad to be moving forward with CUNY. Although I have accumulated thousands of dollars in loans from Berkeley.

I only found out today that Berkeley college was sued for deceptive behavior.

Berkeley College was a wonderful experience for me, even though it is a very expensive school. But they made me feel like I was home, very good professors, I enjoyed all my classes, and my professors. I recently graduated with my associates degree and it was a wonderful experience. I would totally recommend this school. Wish I had the nerve to take out more loans but I've had enough with the loans I have. Thank you Berkeley College for making me feel like I was home, and doing everything possible for me to graduate. I truly appreciate it.

The best college ever! The best opportunity in your life! Berkeley College is a small college but very professional one. You can find everything you want there, an excellent stuff who works hard and is always waiting for you, a sophisticated technology, using up different sources to make you succeed, a big stuff helping out students to finds jobs and internships, They will do everything to motivate you and prepare you for your future success. That's the way I see this college. It may be a little bit expansive but when it's about our future we have to invest first. Everything in this college is great. Let me start sharing me experience with you:

I come from a small country from Europe, where we have a completely different system than here that seems to be a completely stress-free. My English level was not so good, and I still find it difficulty sometimes, but it was not a obstetrical for me at all, because all the professors helped me. And I am definitely glad for all the professors that I had, for 19 of them (5 quarters until now), they are all gorgeous. They never stop telling their student to use them as much as possible. They are respectful, patient, helpful, easy to understand, and they will try everything and every method for the student to succeed, after that is up to the students. If you do what the professors tell you to do you'll be fine, and that's what I and all my friends do. And we enjoy time in the class, we work in group, we discuss and bring new topics in class related with the lectures. And what is the beauty of Berkeley College is the diversity that it has. I consider myself lucky to have peers form different part of the world, because in an easy way help me to learn more about what's going around and try to understand other cultures too, thing that is very important if you live in a city as New York.

I agree with a review here that in short terms tells that Berkeley College is a easy college to enter in because it accept everyone. That's true! But that's what make this college a successful college, because it gives everyone an opportunity. Just because you didn't do well doesn't mean that your life should end there, no college any more no career, nothing. No! That's why Berkeley College has hired good professors, where mostly of them has a PhD degree. And if that is not enough Berkeley College offers Academic Support Center tutoring to make our life easier.

Another great thing that I like at Berkeley College is that the stuff and the professors will define you by your name, not by your ID number, which makes me feel very good and think that people who work here care for me. And I am never lost in the class, like in the big colleges. If I would need help I will go there and ask and these people will always always be ready to help me out.

Accounting hopefuls don’t waste your time! You’ll only receive BBA while they tell you there’s no Bachelor of Accounting Degree after the fact! Don’t trust your advisors like I did! They’ll tell you anything to get you to sign up & then google the degree you’re supposed to have when you question them! Horrible experience with the run around for answers & then hang up on you! Don’t bother, choose a school that cares!

I am majoring in International Business at Berkeley. This is my third year at the school and I'm having an amazing experience. I'm an international student and I have felt home since I arrived to NYC thanks to the school.

The school has exceeded my expectations. I decided to attend it because it had reduced classes, and because I was tired of being treated as a "number" in my previous colleges in Europe, where I could have up to 150 classmates. Now I have about 15-20 per class and all my professors know my name and are very accessible.

Moreover, it is located in the heart of Manhattan. That location speaks by itself. We are surrounded by dozens of businesses and I can't think of a more international environment to be studying at.

Finally, I have to say that they make a huge effort in making student life as best as possible. My learning experience has gone beyond the classroom, since I've been able to take part in many activities with clubs, trips, and special programs.

I had the worse college applying experience. This is for the Paramus NJ Campus. I was a prospective student. Unfortunately, I’m on temporary disability for now so I figured “why not go back to school to pursue my dreams?!”. Well, Berkeley admissions gave me a HORRIBLE experience. They stopped following up with me unlike other universities I applied to. No one knew what was going on in my admissions process. I gave this college money that THEY knew I didn’t have because of my disability because I wanted to attend. All of that for these fools to tell me they’re only accepting a portion of the credits I took for my associates degree. I am going to attend a prestigious university that knows what they’re doing and how to handle their prospective students. Putting effort into this college was WORTHLESS!!!

Now a month later after my horrible experience the director of admissions Janine contacts me to stand up for her poor excuse of a staffs behavior. She called to say “sorry”. What kind of BS is that?! I don’t need a sorry, I need not to receive a phone call from your sorry college ever again!!
