Barton County Community College is one of the best and cheapest community colleges I have ever seen and attended. They offer many services on campus and they makes you feel safe. The people are friendly, the instructors encourage you and want you to succeed and there are always activities going on campus.
Leandra from Bahamas
I am having a great time meeting new people and playing baseball. I am learning to organize my time better to get my homework turned in on time. Barton is just the right size to transition into college from High School
