Bronx Community College

Is a horrible school I cannot wait to transfer don’t know why I chose it the people here are very lazy and don’t help no students

I’ve taken classes at BCC for a couple of years.
Pros: tuition’s cheap, some of the professors are nice, the campus is clean
Cons: they give you the run-​around and make you take unnecessary classes towards a specific degree program. They have a parking lot which you have to pay for, but make sure you get it asap because there’s a limited amount of permits they give out. People’s cars have been broken into (they were parked on the street and during the evening classes).

This is one of the worst college in America. Their focus is only on the amount of student register per semester! Not on the amount graduate. Staff is extremely incompetent. They always give the wrong information and when you go back to them about their error, you don’t even get an apology… just attitude and them informing you that «well you have to do it because it’s requirement or policy». Ummm… that’s the reason I was trying to do it in the first place. Customer service is terrible!!! Most of the professors are great! Avoid the maths department president at all cost. He couldn’t care less! Staff is never at fault. That’s rule number one. Any information you need, you should get it from at least 4 different people and if you get the same info twice then that’s the correct answer. Trust me. Bronx Community College would love if no one ever graduate. just stay there and keep paying that tuition while they treat you trash and punish you for wanting an education. DO NOT ATTEND THIS COLLEGE. Don’t believe me? Check their ranking of colleges in NYC or nationally for that matter. Graduation rate is 24%! 24%!!! Disgusting! yet they like to post that they have over 11 000 student!!! That’s only around 2000 graduating.

The school is a great way to earn easy A’s. Most of the students spend a ridiculous amount of time just staring at their phone screens rather than paying attention, participating in discussions, or doing assignments. Forget about reading the chapters or involving themselves in any homework. Half the class has dropped by midterm. Lots of girls who are looking to better themselves, if you can lure them away from their phones you might have a study partner. Good teachers, though they are a bit jaded from teaching a glorified highschool. Nice campus.

BCC’s motto should be «If all can go wrong — it will»
Avoid this school at all costs, TRUST ME.

Outside of travel convenience, this place is terrible. The teachers here are not too bad, but the staff that runs the university is DMV quality. Absolutely no customer service standards at this school at all. It appears they don’t realize you are a paying a customer when you enroll in a college.

Bronx Community College is definitely not a perfect college. No college is. We all know Bronx Community College doesn’t have a good reputation due to its surrounding neighborhood. Nonetheless, I can honestly say the school is a great school.
More bang for your buck: Tuition is cheaper than CUNY 4 year colleges.
Faculty: Very accommodating. I haven’t met anyone in that school who refused to help me.
Safety: There are security guards by every exit of the school. The campus is pretty big. It’s beautiful and takes great pride in their hall of fame. For your safety, a free shuttle bus runs during the late afternoon and stops in front of nearby subway stations.
Extra curricular activities: Most students aren’t active outside of their classes, unless we’re talking about basketball. Don’t expect this school to be active in clubs.
Food: The only café this school has is Au Bön Pain. The café is a bit pricey so I’m unsure if I would recommend it. Their food tastes great though.

I graduated Bcc January 2012 and this is a pretty good school. I got my AAS in human services when I thought I wanted to do social work but now I really
Regret not getting my associates in nursing or Lpn cause my heart really wants to be a nurse someday. I wish I knew what i really wanted to do when I was there. I recommend doing liberal arts if you are not sure of your major cause when you are young you are going to keep changing majors so at least do liberal arts so every thing will still transfer if you go to Lehman like i did. All in all its a good school it’s just hard to get into classes if you don’t register within the first 3 days registration opens. It’s a fight to get classes. The only thing i regret is not majoring in nursing. I’m thinking about going back to there to get another degree

What can I say about BCC? Hmmm
If I knew everything I did now two years ago would I still go? Probably not
but do I regret going? NO.
Let me explain
Leaving high school I wasn’t into college the way I should have been. All I cared about was going away which changed after I visited the only away school I applied too. -.- BCC was pretty much my last choice.
My first year I really hated it. Half of it was personal issues b/​c you know, you gotta grow, transition and thats always hard no matter what school you go to. The other half was the school. I am coming from Westchester, New rochelle high school to be exact. I am used to a big diverse group people which I didn’t notice until I went to BCC. It is majority spanish population, then black. Very Urban! Not everyone cares about grades and school here. It’s a two year school but you’ll meet kids who have been here for 4 D: but that didn’t effect me because I am my own person. Some of the buildings aren’t that nice or a little beat up/​ghetto but decent. The tuition was great! My finical aid covered everything and for that I will always be happy. It’s walking to distance to the subway. Buses that past the metro north Right in front of the school. Stores All around b/​c its right there on fordham. Teachers are good. I’ve had great ones and a good amount of okay ones. Some of them have heavy accents and you can tell are from different countries which cam be a lil frustrating. Overall REAL Easy to get good grades. Administration can be a bit annoying when they don’t answer the phone or flooded with students in the different office departments.
My second year was better once I opened up more! I got used to being around a different population and my surroundings. Made a couple of friends and looked forward to seeing them in class. You can tell they are on the start of fixing the school. They built an «AU BON PAN» in the cafeteria. A new amazing Library! I discovered all of the nice computer labs in the school. They have a great employment specialist who helps you write resumes. Job fairs. Vending machines take debit! I think I just started to appreciate things more and it took time. I Started driving which made it better for me since I’m from Westchester. Tuition still covered both semesters. Plus money for books. I have called lately and someone picked up every time. Major thing was Parking passes. HUGE problem for me because I could not get a hold on a day & night one. They sell out quick and parking around the school would be okay if it wasn’t for the street cleaning that requires you to move your car in the middle of the day -.-
All in all. Once I got used to the school and kind of accepted it for it is, I enjoyed it more. I will be sad leaving it as I have one more semester but glad to move on. Truly a bitter sweet experience.

I visited a few days ago with a friend to try to gain some information and also received a tour by one of the staff members. I am interested in enrolling into school next year, but have not decided which one. My «tour guide» was really friendly and informed me about every detail I needed to know which I appreciated a lot. I tend to be very indecisive at times, especially as a big decision on which school to attend. I did read some of the reviews before I went, and of course the staff made it sound like the best (it is their goal) but I will apply the pros and cons for myself and then update. But overall my visit was really pleasant and the information seems pretty good right now. We’ll see.

Just started college for the first time at 38 and it was one of the worst experiences of my life, Most of the Professors are not good except Mr. Stapleton. I teach-​ed myself every thing to be a successful man without college and going there was like I was going backwards in every way. I felt like I went back to violent, ghetto, low class, ignorant high school. If you call Laguardia College you get someone on the phone, if you call BCC you get know one. To much to write but my over all opinion about this school it is totally trying from day one destroy your future, no matter how smart you are. They have to control the minorities from achieving greatness and competing with the establishment. Say I’m crazy, now at age 40 I see it so clear.

I love this college. I attended from 2006 – 2008 for my associates in Paralegal Studies and the staff there has helped me from day one to accomplish all my goals as a student and professional. Thank you Ms. Bellabe, Ms. Gunter-​Hall and so many of the professors of the Paralegal Department. I will never forget you.

Not my cup of tea!

This college is the worst college I’ve been to. I’m just taking a Saturday course here because it was the only college that offered the class I needed on a weekend. And its one of the worst experience ever. The library is not even open on Saturday. And when I went on Friday, the library closed at 5pm. I went to make copies of a homework assignment I needed from the required textbook… and guess what… they didn’t have the textbook. What kind of college doesn’t have a copy of the required textbook needed for a class. There was also a line to make copies at the copy machine… wth? The only thing I liked about this college was that, there was street parking. I live in Brooklyn, so it takes about 2 hours to get to Bronx by the train. Driving wise, it takes me about 40 minutes. God, wth was I thinking about when I registered for a class here.
