About Student Housing in Brooklyn
Brooklyn, New York is New York City's most populous borough, a sprawling, neighborhood-rich expanse of more than two and a half million people, and for design and art students it revolves around the Pratt Institute in Clinton Hill. Pratt's green, sculpture-dotted campus sits among brownstone blocks just north of Prospect Heights and east of Fort Greene, one of the most creative pockets of the city. Brooklyn is famous for its distinct neighborhoods and for landmarks like the Brooklyn Museum and the Brooklyn Botanic Garden beside the vast Prospect Park, the Barclays Center, and the iconic Brooklyn Bridge with its waterfront parks and skyline views. It's a borough of street festivals, art openings, and a deep maker scene that feeds right into Pratt.
