Do you have any tips for prospective students?

If you are a prospective student looking to not waste time, wanting to work with teachers who are aware that you have paid your hard earned cash to go through school; and care about every inch of your development, Baker College is the place to start. The First step to exploring this school, is getting online if you have access and see all of the programs that baker offer. Find the major, curriculum, or certification course that maybe good for you, then proceed to contact the school. Do not be afraid of whats behind door number two, simply ask as many questions as you desire to ask and leave no question out. Pre-planning is very important in attending Baker, as to the school is not in the market of wasting your time. You should not come to waste your own time and money ether. choose your courses wisely and take advantaged of your program directors advice, for in all cases, your program director has attain the degree in which you desire to attain; they only speak by experience for your good. Finally, show up to class even if you do not get all the work done or pass the all the test. Baker is into making students successful and not into having failures heap up in their record books. This is truly an partnered effort from Baker to it's students, and from it's students to it's faculty and staff. If you want to be successful, plan it, and do not take your school career for granted. I was an ADD Slow Learning Disability student in high-school, but now I am a Baker College Student on my way to graduate with a AS degree in Business Market, to transfer to University of Florida with a Bachelors in Telecommunications, Praise GOD that He lead me to this school, they truly care.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

Baker is a Career Focused School, therefore its Professors must have at least a Bachelors Degree and a minimum of experience in the curriculum that they are teaching. Baker want's it's students to learn first hand with hands on experience, and the Professors do bring their glory to the school, that they may give a little extra to each student. There are test, essays, and participation points which total up your grades for the semester yes, but what i like most about the rigor is that I have direct access to some experienced professors who know what they are truly speaking about in the profession that I desire to attain.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

I do not live in the dorms, but from what I hear, preplan if you can choose. The dorms can be nice, or they can be a havoc depending on who you are living with; but my suggestion is make the best of every situation and think wisely about your living space.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

i am a Vegan, not a veggie head; I eat fruits, nuts, grains, homemade breads, and noting dairy, processed, or that has to be killed. The food is semi-accommodating for someone like me, but I am able to eat if I needed to; yet I live next to school, I can just go home. There is lots of dining space here though, as the there are two dining halls in the building. I am sure you will be fine though, and if your like to go to the grocery store, there is a supermarket called, The Plum just around the corner, and there is a CVS and Walgreen also on the end of the street.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

In this area, if you do not have a car, you can catch the bus to local places around town, like the Lakes Mall, Wal-mart and such; if your into that sort of thing. I particularly like to go for walks and be more active in the practicalities of life, in advancing my future, that is why I am here for school. The environment where whit school is located seems as though it was designed to give you that edge of focus you would need to be successful. Baker does have many social clubs that you may join. I personally was apart of the Roteract club for the end of my freshman year, and that was rewarding.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

Baker is also a school that will support those who are not able to afford to go to school. They help you through financial aid as well as offer grants for some students who can not pay for school. You must keep up with your classes and have a c average in order to keep these benefits. It's not a cheap school to attend with 210 dollars per semester hour; that is one hundred dollars more then University of Florida; but you do get what you pay for. Bake is a non-for profit organization, paying all the in house bills on its own.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Serious students that would like to succeed
