It was a scary morning for students and faculty Friday at Berkeley College on Church Street.
Officials say someone called in a bomb threat to one of the buildings on the New Jersey campus around 8:30 a.m.
As a safety precaution, officials evacuated the entire building, as well as all other campuses including Manhattan, Brooklyn and New Jersey.
The White Plains Police Department was on scene as well as the Yonkers Bomb Squad.
Officials say they did not find anything after checking inside the building for several hours.
The building was cleared around 11 a.m. and students and faculty were allowed back inside.
Students told News 12 they were still rattled by the news.
Officials say they do not know if the threat was a prank because most students do not have classes on Friday.
Police say an investigation is still ongoing.
