Some styles on Brooklyn College campus Style #2 Style #1 Style #3
Urban Campus Many girls of Brooklyn College have similar styles to the ones presented on the previous slide which include some kind of leggings or jeans, a top or sweater, and usually boots (since it is the winter time) Since Brooklyn College is an urban campus; the style can be described as more contemporary and relaxed compared to a school that would be in the city where people would most likely dress up more.
