Review of Bakersfield College

from Bakersfield, CA

Describe your college in three sentences.

BC offers an amazing culinary and nursing program. The class sizes are manageable and every professor I have had are always willing to help students. The campus community is very good.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

See a councilor(even though you don't have to) they can help you choose the right classes. If you already know what major you want, then do the research to choose classes that you need. If your not sure, give yourself a few different ones and choose classes they both take until you are sure.

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

They have very high standards for students. Every teacher I have had loves what they teach and do it well.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

Does Not apply however there are always adds for rooms for rent. there are also several decent apartment buildings close to school.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

For cafeteria food it is actually pretty good. The prices are somewhat reasonable. The staff is very friendly.

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

There are many campus organizations. At least once a week I see people playing volleyball or football on the grass. They have homecoming and spring fling week, open mic night, and other fun things for those interested.

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

The value is very good for what we pay. Classes here are half as much as the CSU's. They offer a wide variety of transferable classes.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Students who can't afford to go to a CSU or other university right away but want to get started.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

There are a plethora of clubs on campus including inter-varsity, GSLBT, tutoring club, future teacher, geology, Mensa, and many more.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

the community college sorority is on campus.. I don't remember the name as I decided not to join it. But it is there.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

Campus security is always around, they help when you need them but they don't intimidate. I have found it to be a very safe campus.
