It is a great place to get an Associates Degree, or save money by taking core classes to transfer to a four-year school. I took advantage of the Office of Disabilities for accommodations. The resources offered are amazing. I used the FREE tutoring. career services, and advising. My friend raved about the Veteran services.

This is a fantastic school. I have been to umass dartmouth and they are nowhere near as quick and helpful at BCC is. I have had so much help financially and the school even gets back to me extremely quick about payments, costs, class grades, my application for nursing etc. it is truly amazing

I loved it, totally recommend going to this community college. Best thing that I did after leaving high school, close to home, great classes, amazing teachers and the campus was beautiful. Loved going to class everyday and I will definitely miss the campus and the people!

I was disappointed at first when I had to attend BCC. I didn't have the money to attend the college I got into. I was ashamed and not looking forward to it. I didn't think the education was as good. I was wrong. I got a great education from experienced professors and made so many like-minded friends than I did in high school.

It is a wonderful school that has helped me to excel in my life. There are not many options for veterinary schools in MA. BCC has given me the opportunity to follow my dreams and achieve my goals. I am grateful to have been able to attend this school.

The overall campus is clean. Seems like there is always some sore of work being done to maintain the property. There are security drills done every so often. They have a program that texts and emails students about emergencies and closures. The teachers are friendly. The enrollment process is easy. The cost is affordable.

Needs better food selections and the price should be more flexible. Also they could do more fun activities out side of class. They could also do more job fairs so that people with just ok jobs get better ones. Lastly they could try to make the entire campuses run souly on solar power.

I enjoy the school. I'm here to learn, so I haven't really explored too much about things like extra curricular activities and sports. But, I know that they exist here because I see people often times advertising clubs and sports. There's no housing for the school, but that's to be expected of a community college, so I have no complaints.

Bristol community college is a great school. I have learned a lot in my time at this school and I have met a lot of interesting people here. The size of the classrooms at this school is reasonable and it isn’t too large. I like how a lot of the staff are helpful and kind as well. They are great at giving you advice. I also like to eat the food there since they do a great job making the food on campus here. It is a pretty good school since you can transfer to a four year school for a cheaper price.

BCC is a great starting college to prepare you for transferring. There are always people you can talk to about transferring to other schools and about which courses to take to get the best outcome. There are some professors who are amazing and some who will do the least amount of work. Overall its a great school that offers great certifications for students looking for something new. Love the fact students of all ages are in the course so you get a fresh opinion.

BCC is a great launch point to send you off to bigger and brighter things. I started as a student aiming to get a certificate in Early Education, but with the support of some awesome professors, I changed to an associates degree and am now on my way to a 4 year school. During my time at BCC, I've found that the majority of professors are highly credited, easy to work with, and will do their best to help you achieve your educational goals. My advisers have been extremely helpful, helping me find a schedule and classes that will work for me and my schedule.
The fact that there are multiple campuses can be helpful as it gives you more flexibility when it comes to making a schedule, and resources such as the tutoring center and the library services desk have been extremely beneficial to me as a student. Besides the gen-eds and the core major classes, they also may offer some more unique and specialized courses, so be on the lookout! I was able to fulfill a English requirement with a class on comics and graphic novels, and I was also able to create an Irish culture and history course with the help of some great professors. Overall, I've enjoyed my time at BCC.
My advice: Utilize the student services, don't be afraid to take online classes or classes on multiple campuses, and befriend your professors! They will be your best resources, especially as you get ready to move on to a four year program.

Bristol Comunity College at the Taunton Center is extremely convenient. You have food, shops, an arcade/bowling area of the mall to go to if you have time between your classes and you can even find part-time job opportunities. It makes my life so much easier knowing that it is an all in one experience.

The college is a decent community college and offers everything that a typical community college does, but if you plan on pursuing any kind of science degree while you have a full time job during the day, it is nearly impossible.
The fall 2020 acceptance rate for Bristol Community College is 100%. That means, out of _____ applications received in 2020, _____ students were offered admission.
What should every freshman at your school know before they start?
If I could talk to my senior self, I would warn myself to start saving early. I went to the University of Kentucky for half of a semester and now owe them over $9000. Had I started saving all of the money I earned senior year, I would owe $3500, not $9000. It's still a lot of money, but it's a sum I find easier to pay off.
The staff works as hard as they can to give myself and all of the other students the best college experience. If I need help, they go completely out of their way to help me. They gave me step by step instructions on what to do to register, what website to visit, where to find the list of classes I'll need and what code to put in my FAFSA application. They also help other students however they can with a monthly food drive and occasional contests to earn a little extra money to pay what we need to.
What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?
I do not have a worst thing about Bristol Community College. Unless you talk about the parking but it is a very popular school so the parking lot is going to be crazy and alway full during class time.
a person should attend this insutitution if they would like a degree in a certain program that would like to save money by going here instead of a bigger institution, or somebody who works during the day and then can go to classes at night, or someone who is just on limited funds.
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.
80% of students attending Bristol Community College receive some sort of financial aid.
56% were awarded federal grants.32%received federal loans. Many students do also need to apply for additional private student loans.
