Brookland-CUA

The shuttle that goes to the VA hospital is an LAZ shuttle. The pick up location is under the bridge just down from the metro and is at the same pick up as the children's hospital. I was not charged to ride but the signs are confusing so this pick up was hard to find. I eventually found where I needed to be but the signs suck.

Cool station. Very helpful that it is right on the college campus

I noticed the 2 Metro police officers while entering Brookland Station. I see the terminal gates & electronic employee gate that need a data card to pass thru. New installed, escalator stairs are used to go up & down the train platform. I love the new, artistic, temporary bus shelters that displays students artworks from the DMV area.

Nicely accessible Metro station near Monroe - Brookland bus junction (Eastside entry) and the Brookland arts district (Westside entry). This platform is above ground but you enter going underground from both sides and then up to the central platform. Most of the platform is covered so rain/precipitation is avoidable, but open to the weather during HOT/COLD days. Most days so far, there has been visible security working the station, either on the platform, near entryways, or both. Overall clean and well maintained.

This station is served by the red line. It can get very busy at times. it serves the american Poetry Museum.

Brookland is a great neighborhood metro. Somewhat cramped, its shoved between the CSX tracks and the side of Catholic U. You'll find there's lots of foot traffic from college kids. It has a bike trail running right past the entrance, so watch out.

It is a metro station just like all the others, but this one constantly has maintainence issues. Specifically, the escalator on the lower income side of the station is often turned off/ broken, where as the CUA escalator is always working.

Easy way to get to all monuments and highlights of Washington. Good customer service in case you have problems with the ticket machine, as we did

Brookland has an okay Metro station. It also is outdoors so it doesn't smell bad. One good thing about the outdoor ones except when it's cold. Also it's the stop for Catholic University of America. The Union Market is close too. Cleaner than many stations are. It serves the Red Line. The reason for it being cleaner is that it's outdoors. Often there's a good breeze. This also eliminates the piss smell. Area around it is pretty good. The Union Market is pretty close by here. It has a location in an improving area. Lots of new businesses are coming. This mostly is pretty safe.

Comveient? Yes indeed. I live close by. Not a great place to use after dark. The arseholes who jump the turnstiles piss me off. But that's not the station's problem

I'm a sucker for outdoor Metro stations and Brookland is one of them. There are two entrances that take you to the above-ground outdoor platform. The platform is covered protecting you from rain. On the Catholic University side, there's cool graffiti-tagged making for great photo opps.

Like many of the DC area metro stations built in the 70s and 80s, this place has the typical brick floor with walls on the mezzanine level. You go down to get to the ticketing area and then ride back up to an island platform that is outdoors. It's very walkable from all the gentrified shops in Brookland as well as from all the neighbors nearby. Always fun to stay with my friend there and use this convenient way to get all over the area!

Convenient location, very close to Catholic University but still in a sketchy location otherwise. Lots of people loitering around the parking lots, bicycling, and just hanging out. Beeline it to the university or the shops up Monroe Street toward 7th Street NE. The immediate neighborhood is certainly being built up on almost all sides.

I have had nothing but good experience for the people complaining please shut the hell up !! No one is begging and pleading for you to take the metro if it is so bad BUY A CAR simple fix! If you can't afford a car then stop complaining and be thankful . Also to the guy who says people just loitered everywhere! So what shut the fuck up this is America people can do whatever they want as long as they are not committing a crime. Mind yo goddamn buisness .

Can't say I'm a fan of this metro. First, it's above ground which is terrible during the winter. There are not more than two shelters on the platform. The trains run semi-frequently but typically not so much during the middle of the day. It's close to CUA, depending on what building you're going to, and the area has been built up nicely. If you go in the other direction, there are some cool places (brookland pint , smith public trust, and brooklands finest come to mind) but I'd be weary to walk alone that way after dark.

I don't often feel a need to review something like an individual Metro Station. But the other night I found myself out at Brookland-CUA metro to meet a group of people for some late night tromping around and beer drinking--however, there would be no bathrooms in sight and I had to pee already when I got there. After looking around a bit and realizing there were NO good duck-n-cover spots for a quick pee outside (not to mention any businesses nearby where I could use their bathrooms) where we were I decided to just bite the bullet and tell some kind of tall tale of emergency to the metro station guy and see if I couldn't sweet talk my way into the staff bathroom. Lo and behold, I am but a few words into my tale of woe when he stops me and says, there is a customer bathroom right over there, through that door and down the hall. what? What? WHAT?!?!!??!!! Hot diggity! And not only did they have an actual customer bathroom, it was fairly clean!!! It isn't often Metro surprises and pleases me these days, so as soon as I was done I thought to myself "I need to write up a review for these guys to say thanks!" So if you find yourself with a full bladder and headed toward Catholic land on the Red Line, just know that salvation is there for you without having to sell your soul to get it!

I had to get off the Metro to avoid a creep and felt safe here. I'm guessing this station is why I wasn't mugged or assaulted during my trip in DC, but, at a mimimum, it's well lit.

This red line stop will soon be busier when all the construction of shopping and food eateries are complete. Finally, the city is coming into this NE neighborhood. It will be a nice addition to "Little Rome."

They have shuttles to the VA and washington hospital center right outside so it's easy enough to get to the hospitals from here. Also they have a bathroom. Unfortunately the Red line takes forever on the weekends

I lived in the neighborhood for three years before moving to California. It was fairly convenient as it's a 15 minute ride into downtown and you can also get to Silver Spring and Friendship Heights. My complaint would be (as with all metro lines) that they only run every 20 minutes on the weekends...and sometimes less. It surprised me in 2012 how many times the tracks were shut down for repair. The red line seems to get hit the most for repairs. Sometimes during the weekends you'll watch your wait time fluctuate to being 5-10 minutes longer than planned. Just keep your eye out....but it's a metro stop worth using!
