Benjamin N Cardozo had some pretty good programs like the DaVinci Science and Law programs however the general education classes were usually overcrowded and unfulfilling. Sports were big and had a big part in community building and new additions to the campus are great upgrades.

Carodozo has many sports and clubs, all of which have staff dedicated to bringing out the best in students. Yet, the staff typically does not listen to student suggestions, and some sports and clubs are underfunded.
