REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingI've been attending Broward College (formerly known as Broward Community College) for a year and a half now. I have learned a tremendous amount from teachers and classmates at this school. All the teachers I have had are extremely knowledgeable in their field and are willing to teach you until you learn.
Alysia from Coral Springs, FL
And the lab is like an extra help if you need it!
Keshia from Davie, FL
(Review based on North Campus).
I transferred from FAU to Broward College and feel like I am learning a lot more here. I have had some really amazing professors who REALLY know what they're talking about. One of the biggest and best differences is that the class sizes are significantly smaller. At FAU, some of my lecture classes had up to 300 students in them, while at BC the max number of students in a class I've had was probably 25! The professor knows the students by name, and it's much easier to get to know your fellow classmates!

I'm a legal assisting major and the teachers are all experience and so helpful, and I feel I'm going to be very successful. The teachers alwasy give you their emails and phone numbers so you can personally help you with any considers you have.
nadia from Hialeah, FL
For a local college that just recently become renowned as a 4 year college they are definitely doing better than any of the other local schools. If you put in the time to research which professors are the best and receive the best ratings among the student body you can receive a pretty good education. Although I have had a few teachers that lacked the proper knowledge to be teaching the class and one had to put in the extra effort to teach themselves some things at home.
Abraham from Pembroke Pines, FL
Broward College is a good school. They really help people learn, compensating for disabilities, and different learning-styles.
Jennifer from Lauderhill, FL
Broward is highly withdrawn from individuals mind, due to the fact of it being a community college. They have changed their status to a college as of this past year, offering batchelors in many programs. Education to me isnt measured by the name, but by the knowledge a student is filled with. I personally think i wouldnt have received a better education elsewhere.
SHASTRI from MIRAMAR, FL
People seem to be discouraged about going to a Community College, although it is now Broward College, its still seen as a school where you can shoot the breeze and pass. It's not. Class sizes are smaller for a better learning experiences. Professors learn your name individually which I'm sure in a bigger institution professors only know the good students. In my time hear I did learn alot. Fresh out of high school just starting up, you learn about time management and of course the course criteria etc.
Jose from Pembroke Pines, FL
broward college has qualified professors that help you learn a lot, experience good information you can take with you in the workforce. they even get in a laugh or two.
Shameka from North Lauderdale, FL
Yes! I am learning a lot at Broward College. I just came out of high school, so I still have a young state of mind; I was not use to having all the responsibility. I was use to me putting 50% in and my teacher putting in 50%. But at Broward College it helped me grow up; I now know that I am responsibly for what I do.
