When you were a kid, the end of the school year meant running out the door screaming with joy. That changes a bit as you get older. For students at Brooklyn’s colleges, universities, and professional schools, “school’s out” means it’s time to explore new horizons, look for internships and jobs, and, of course, move into a new apartment.
