Read What Students Are SayingI've been to the campus it's clean and soothing; it's well looked after and taken care of. They have a map and clearly marked buildings for new students.
Jessica from Brockton, MA
BCC Has provided me with the best foundation for me to start my path as a artist, that I think I could eve hope for. Teachers, both in the Art department, as well as any other department are friendly and provide a comfortable working environment. Also, not only have I learned a lot from the faculty, but BCC fosters a greet community enviroment, in which I've learned so many things from my fellow students.
