The BCC experience is a great education, butQuite BrightNursing
The BCC experience is a great education, but it's based on what you put in, not what the professors squeeze out of you. It is very possible to get by with minimal effort in the 100 level classes if that's what you're looking to do, but the professors there can really provide a much richer learning experience if you're willing to do your part.

Question
To start off, I graduated high school atQuite BrightUndecided
To start off, I graduated high school at the age of sixteen, and enrolled in BCC when I just turned 17; I'm very intellegent. I'm not angry because I was too unmotivated to pass my classes. Going to BCC was a waste of my time. My Communications teacher, who of all professors, should speak English, didn't. At all. She assigned at least an essay a night. Not a page long essay, oh no, she assigned a 1000+ word assignment EVERY CLASS. Because I was seriously injured in a car accident, and was forced to withdrawl in the middle of my second semester, they revoked any finiancial aid I might be able to be granted, but there's a catch. In order to get my financial aid back, they forced me to take 19 credit hours in one semester. That's six classes. I was 17. Working 35 hours a week. The hag who called herself an advisor, who I belived was helping me when she said "I will register you for teacher's with a laid back reputation", screwed up any chance for college I might have in the future. She convinced me to take communications 1, world religions, college algebra, general bio, sucess strategies, and speech comm, all in one semester. These teachers had me AUTOMATICALLY withdrawled from the courses if a student missed more than one day.

Good luck on getting any financial aid questions answered. Every semester, they seem to get even more rude and hostile.

Buy your books at an online bookstore; they are out of almost every textbook within two days of registation days, and they seem to think it's funny to "forget" to order books.

Campus security would rather chase down people smoking cigrettes, then handle real security issues, such as the criminally insane man in my speech class who told everyone in the class he was going to hurt us. word for word.

What else is wrong with this place?hmm.... oh yeah! dont let any "professor" hear you talking about any of your personal problems. they will try and pry into your life like they know you. DON'T GO HERE.

Question
If you are considering BCC, RECONSIDER.PreMed and Medical
If you are considering BCC, RECONSIDER.
Security is COMPLETELY harassing and caused both me and my husband a great deal of stress over a minor incident involving parking.

The guard was rude, profane, and endangered my health and safety by detaining us against our will. I am diabetic and my blood sugar had dropped, and we were not allowed to leave until he was finished with his immature little tirade.

After letting us go with a paper warning, he forwarded the incident to the dean of security and, before it could be resolved THERE, forwarded it to the provost of the campus. Then they had my husband FORCIBLY REMOVED from class during an exam!

Allow me to add that BOTH of us are good students; I made President's List two semesters and Dean's List all others, and my husband has made Dean's List every semester since he began attending last year.

This incident not only affected his grades, but also BOTH of our jobs. Their consistent harassment forced both of us to call out from work in order to deal with the issue, which was blown COMPLETELY out of proportion.I will NEVER recommend BCC to anyone again. I had a good experience with the college until this disaster, which was embarrassing, harassing, damaging, unprofessional and uncalled for.
