Kristie - 09/21/2019
Blue Mountain Community College is a great Community College. BMMC offers a wide range of classes and the professor's are amazing. I have had many professors that have made me want to take extra classes just so I could learn from that teacher again. The classes are small and you get to know a lot of new students personally. There are some great college trips, like skiing and rafting. There are very few clubs though. Apart from the usual minuses of Community college, this is a great school!
Olivia - 05/28/2019
Very inviting and personal feel from the beginning. Easy to get enrolled and file financial aid. Success coach and team are there for you. Great school for single parents, and adult students. There are lots of school activities offered. I'm really excited to start this fall.
Rachelle - 12/19/2018
I enjoyed my experience as a student at BMCC. My instructors were all very helpful and patient and seemed to be able to adjust their teaching styles as needed, depending on the needs of the students. They pushed us to do our best and I felt very successful while attending there.
KyliSue - 12/12/2018
I love BMCC because it has allowed me to get my Transfer degree at a small price and let me live at home to save money. I also love the small town vibe and all of the teachers are great. They work with you and are almost always available to questions.
Elisabeth - 10/09/2018
Great staff and very helpful. Teachers are very knowledgeable. Class size is small enough to get plenty of one on one interaction as well as all questions being answered. Tutors are available on site and the teachers give plenty of resources to learn what they are trying to teach.
Michael - 04/18/2018
It a very nice campus. They have a great shop programs also.
Monica - 09/25/2017
It is a very good college and excellent and keeping you up on your academics.
Katlyn - 09/06/2017
I've had a few classes through BMCC as a high school student. These classes and experiences that I had were so positive I decided to go to this community college in order to get my AAOT. The professors there are willing to help you actually achieve your dreams and see to any problems that you might have with student life. Plus with small class sizes it's perfect.
Grace - 02/10/2017
I think BMCC is a pretty good school. Whether it's sports Wednesdays, free snack Fridays, free movie night, skiing trip, etc., there is always something going on to get students involved. There are plenty of places to study (alone or with a group) as well as hang out with friends. Professors want you to come and talk to them about any problems you may be having in class or hard to understand concepts. Its a good school to start your college education at.
Aspen - 08/09/2015
I loved it here! Located right outside Pendleton, OR, it has amazing views when the sun is out. I made a lot of great friends and the Ag teachers were amazing! BMCC also has an "Agriculture Complex" so students can learn hands-on. I had the chance to drive tractors, palpate a cow, and process a pig (among other ag related activities.) It is a great school that I hated to leave!

What should every freshman at your school know before they start?
I would tell myself that it is very different from high school, because the classes are structured differently and the instructors are more lenient. In high school you feel like you are in jail, you are there because you have to be. In college, you are there because you want to be. Before I started college I was afraid to go sit in a classroom because I throught it would be like high school, but I was pleasantly surprised. I think it has a lot to do with the fact that I am there because I want to be there and I want to learn, not because someone is making me do it. Also in college if you have to leave for some reason, you just leave. If you are done with your work, you can go. Even if you aren't done, if the instructor is done with his/her instruction your are free to leave. I would tell myself not to be afraid or intmitated, just go for it!
The best thing about my school would have to be the low cost. Between in-state tuition and also BMCC being a community college, tuition is really cheap. Not only that, I am able to live with my parents while I attend here and save a significant amount of money by not having to pay for a dorm.
What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?
The worst thing about my school is the limited choices of career fields. I would be interested in some other possibilities for a career, but this is my local college and I cannot afford to commute to a different one. Therefore, I am limited in my choices of fields to pursue.
What's the most frustrating thing about your school?
I think some of the harder classes is what makes the school frustrating. Sometimes doing online work, and having technical dificultiues can be frustrating too.
Here's your chance: Say anything about your college!
Compared to many other school, something that stands out about mine is the fact it's not a crowded school. Although we get many people from different towns, it's still relatively small as far as the number of student are involved. Eventually a person starts seeing similar faces. Also because it is small it's easy to go anywhere and find a quiet, deserted study (or nap) area.
What kind of person should not attend this school?
Any person should apply here. The staff members are very friendly. Everyone makes you feel welcome and is eager to help you accomplish your goals for your education. Campus is very easy to maneuver and classes here are cheaper than a 4 year university.
All students must apply yearly for financial aid. This process starts with the FAFSA.
Though financial aid deadlines vary by school, it is a good idea to apply as soon as possible. For the upcoming school year, you can apply as early as October 1 for the FAFSA. Additional school aid will be dependent on the FAFSA results.
88% of students attending Blue Mountain Community College receive some sort of financial aid.
66% were awarded federal grants.27%received federal loans. Many students do also need to apply for additional private student loans.
