Read What Students Are SayingBloomfield College has taught me many things thus far both inside and outside the classroom.
Ashley from Camden, NJ
I am definitely learning a lot and this school has a good student to teacher ratio which is like 20 students to a teacher. Tutoring is free anytime any day. The teachers are at your side, they want you to pass and are willing to help and most of all teach.
