Here's a clip from an LIU press release, Oct. 15, 2007: "Brooklyn, N.Y. - Long Island University's Brooklyn Campus, one of the most diverse and dynamic campuses in the metropolitan region, has appointed a new dean of admissions. Provost Gale Stevens Haynes announced that Elizabeth Storinge now leads the admissions office for the Campus of more than 11,000 students." [emphasis added]
The Brooklyn Campus of Long Island University was created in 1926.
The Brooklyn Campus of Long Island University's motto is 'Urbi et Orbi'.
There are high-crime and low-crime areas of both Long Island and Brooklyn. Overall, though, I think there is more crime per capita in Brooklyn.
They escaped from the Brooklyn section of Long Island to Manhattan Island.
Long Island University was created in 1926.
Queens is a borough in the city of New York. Long Island is the name of the island that Queens to the North and Brooklyn to the South are on. Queens and Brooklyn are on the Western end of Long Island. Nassau and Suffolk are other counties on Long Island. For some people, Queens and Brooklyn are not apart of Long Island, (they consider New York City to be separate from Long Island), but, they are on the western part of the island.
Brooklyn along with Queens is attached physically to Long Island thus making it part of a large island.
Yes, the New York City boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens are both on Long Island. Brooklyn and Queens (which are also Kings County and Queens County, respectively) occupy the western end of Long Island. Kings County (aka the borough of Brooklyn) is the westernmost county on Long Island, and Queens County (aka the borough of Queens) is the second-westernmost. Queens lies on top of and somewhat east of Brooklyn, as if it just tried to sit down on Brooklyn too hard, and is now slipping off the right side of it. The remaining, eastern portion of Long Island is occupied by Nassau and Suffolk Counties, which are part of New York State, but not part of New York City as Brooklyn and Queens are. Suffolk County is the easternmost county on Long Island, and at 912 square miles, it is also the largest, taking up 65% of Long Island's total land area (which is 1401 square miles).
The Brooklyn Bridge is not an island. As the name suggests, The Brooklyn Bridge is a bridge. New York City is made up of five boroughs: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx and Staten Island. Manhattan is an island. Brooklyn, along with Queens, is part of the island known as Long Island. Brooklyn and Queens take up the western end of Long Island. The Brooklyn Bridge connects the borough of Brooklyn to the borough of Manhattan. It transverses the East River at Lower Manhattan on the Manhattan side, and somewhere between the Brooklyn Heights and Vinegar Hill neighborhoods on the Brooklyn side.

The result of the Battle of Long Island was that the British drove Washington's troops out of Brooklyn.
Brooklyn is on Long Island. So is Queens. Brooklyn, Queens, and the rest of Long Island (which is made up of two counties, Nassau and Suffolk) all make up one big island that is actually larger than the state of Rhode Island!
