[edit] The Campus

Queensborough is located in the suburban-like community of Bayside, Queens. Queensborough’s 34-acre campus consists of ten major buildings, which are used for instruction and extracurricular activities. Among them are an upcoming resource center, Holocaust studies, astronomy observatory, and art museum. The campus and its nearby resources reflect the suburban neighboorhood, meaning few transportation routes , lack of dining options ,etc which have been noted. http://www.aacc.nche.edu/Template.cfm?section=AboutCommunityCollegesm link title]
