Review of Bluegrass Community and Technical College
from Lexington, KY
Describe your college in three sentences.
Bluegrass Community and Technical College (BCTC) is a nice community college. This is my first year studying at BCTC, and I have found that the advisers and instructors are helpful and friendly as well as knowledgeable.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
The #1 tip I could give any prospective student is: Go To Class!
Obviously the students that attend class regularly are the ones with the highest scores and make the most out of their time at school.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The subjects that I have taken thus far at BCTC have been challenging as expected. Yet BCTC offers tutoring for students that are in need of help, and the instructors are willing to answer questions and explain the information thoroughly. They seem genuinely interested in making sure the information is clearly understood.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
BCTC has a number of programs that students can choose to be enrolled in, too many to list really. Being conveniently located in Lexington, KY the campus is very close to downtown with a number of galleries, shops and restaurants to visit. If you like horses or basketball Lexington offers the best of both- pristine horse farms and UK basketball.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
A college education is going to be a major expense (for most of us anyway) regardless of where you attend. But I've found that a Community College is the best way to start out for cash-strapped individuals. At a Community College an Associates Degree can be earned (or other certificate/vocational training) at a much lower cost than at a typical 4 year university. Then a student can choose to transfer to a university after 2 years (saving on the cost of tuition the first two years at least). Overall I would say this community college is a good bang for the buck.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
I have never felt threatened or unsafe in any way at this campus. A student can also choose to be alerted by email or text in the event of an emergency situation at the school, this includes notifying students of any dangerous situation (individual) at the school or dangerous weather conditions. From my experience I feel that this campus is quite safe.
