Urban Campus with a Suburban Feel
Centrally located only minutes from both midtown Manhattan and the Long Island suburbs, the campus is situated on 77 beautiful, tree-lined acres with a traditional grassy quad surrounded by both historic Spanish-style buildings and modern facilities such as the Science Building, Rosenthal Library, and Powdermaker Hall, the major classroom facility with state-of-the art digital features. Complete sports facilities include an Olympic-sized swimming pool, indoor and outdoor tennis courts, and a fully equipped fitness center. The college is also home to the Kupferberg Center for the Visual and Performing Arts, with more than a half dozen arts and entertainment venues including the Godwin-Ternbach Museum—the only comprehensive art museum in the borough of Queens.

A Diverse Campus Community
Queens College's highly diverse student population hails from more than 140 countries. "There is no typical student at Queens College, and that's what's great about the student body," say Queens College students quoted in the 2010 edition of the Princeton Review's The Best 371 Colleges. They also describe their peers as a "diverse and dedicated community." Further commenting on the college's international flavor, the Review notes, "Right outside the campus gates students will find restaurants serving everything from kosher to Korean, from pizza to pita sandwiches."
On campus, you'll find a stimulating and welcoming environment with a bustling student union and opportunities to participate in dozens of clubs and sports. With high-tech "smart" classrooms, computer kiosks, a plasma board network, cybercafé, and campus-wide Wi-Fi capability, you're always in touch with the Queens College community and the world beyond.
Proud to Say They Went to Queens
Queens College's distinguished alumni include many who are leaders in their fields. Some are household names, such as music greats Paul Simon and Marvin Hamlisch, comedian Jerry Seinfeld, and Jon Favreau, actor and director of such hit films as Elf and Iron Man. Still others are better known by their achievements: The Moog synthesizer that was instrumental in popularizing electronic music was invented by alumnus Robert Moog. Many have dabbled in the popular concept Six Degrees of Separation, the product of research done by another alumnus, psychologist, Stanley Milgram.
No wonder the Kaplan/Newsweek How to Get into College Guide named Queens College one of America's 25 hottest and most interesting schools.
