Review of Bluegrass Community and Technical College
from Shelbyville, KY
Describe your college in three sentences.
A great place to do 'distance learning' like I do. There are tons of online class options because you can technically take any distance class from any KCTCS Campus that is offered.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
If you take online courses, always pay attention to the campus that offers the course, because that will be the bookstore that you have to get the books for that class from. I learned the hard way that not all book stores carry all KCTCS books. You have to go to that specific bookstore that the class originates from.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Class demands vary. I've had a great amount of work from some courses, and others seem to be very simple and light on homework. It just depends on your professor, which is pretty consistant with other schools.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
I am a distance learning student, so all of my classes are online. I don't know what dorm like at the community college is like, although I know that the Bluegrass campus is right next to the University of Kentucky, so you can mix and mingle with the UK students.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
There is a cafe in my home campus, which offers 'home style' cooking for just a few dollars. Very good!
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
I would recommend getting involved with a group on campus, since this is a small setting type school. It will keep you involved with other students.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
125 per credit hour compared to 325 per hour at the major University~! I believe that speaks for itself!
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
The Bluegrass campus is right next to UK, in the heart of Lexington. Definately big blue nation! Kentucky Basketball games are an undescribable experience. You HAVE to attend one, but I'd say once you go you'll be a fan for life! BBN!!
Which types of students will excel at your college?
I am a full time worker, along with mother who takes full time courses. The online classes offered are perfect for me. I'd say online courses are great for anyone with a crazy schedule who can't commit to being in class at a certain everyday.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Although the campus is small, there are tons of activities to get involved in. I have heard the student government at the Bluegrass campus are amazing at what they do.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
I dont believe there are greeks at KCTCS.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
I've never had an issue, or felt like I would be in any danger on campus. UK campus police are constantly patroling as well as city and county police officers.
