I enjoyed my time and Bucks and always felt like it was a safe school. It gave me the opportunity to receive an education for relatively cheap compared to most schools. The professors were always great and willing to help in any way. The education I received has helped me greatly in my current profession.

Bucks County Community College gave me the resources and abilities to aspire to where I want to be. A very special thank you to Dr. Sullivan who was always available and willing to help me whenever I needed it. He made learning and his classroom setting fun while challenging us to do our absolute best! Bucks County helped me get into Holy Family university's Fast Track accelerated BSN RN program. I owe a lot to Bucks county and the incredible staff they have. I highly recommend BCCC to everyone who talks about going to college.
Megan
Bucks County Community College gave me the opportunity to have small class sizes with lots of 1 on 1 attention with my professors. The professors care more than any other school I know of. The professors are always available and helped me with any kind of problems or questions I had. The classes can be rigorous and are not taken as a joke like some community colleges that I have heard of. Bucks has a high standard for their students and truly want you to be able to reach new heights and personal goals.
Megan
I started out not sure what I wanted to do. It was easy to discuss plans with an adviser and keep options open while taking basic courses. The nursing program, while difficult to get in to, has a great passing rate for the state boards. The program was intense and definitely worth it.
Katherine
Bucks County Community College is a good college to go to figure out what you want to do with your life. The college has many transfer agreements with nearby 4 year schools, so you can go to the college for 2 years and then transfer to a different school. The classes are fine overall. You won't be getting the full "college experience" but if you want to save money, go to a community college like Bucks.
Brianna
nice community college it has wonderful resources and dedicated staff! Multiple campuses and online classes to fit any students schedule. wonderful food weather you need a snack or a filling meal and plenty of healthy options. Helpful library staff whom help you find the books or resources you need to get through your semester.
Adrianna
Overall, it is a good school for those who are not ready for a big campus life. It is also a good school for those who are unsure about what career they would like to pursue. The professors care and are very knowledgeable, they will help you in any they can. I learn a lot from all of my courses.

Community: a group of people living in the same place or having a characteristic in common. (“Community.”) During my time at Bucks County Community College, it was easy to see just how much of a community it is on campus. Whether you see groups studying in the library or clubs meeting outside, people are always engaged with one another.
The word community has never played a big part in my life until the last four months, where it has completely changed my outlook on life. I recently heard someone describe community as: being a part of a group that is closer than a friendship, which continuously encourages each other in the right direction, and prays for every victory and hardship no matter the size. Being a part of a community at Bucks has pushed me into becoming the best version of myself and has inspired me to encourage others to do the same.
If I could describe Bucks County Community College in one word, it would be community. Bucks County Community College is one community I encourage everyone to be a part of.

Bucks County Community College is my first step in continuing a higher education, and my first choice in doing so. The reason for this is because of the educational opportunities it offers, along with a close commute, friendly students and staff, the plethora of transfer-school options, variety of course selection, the campus itself, and many other reasons. The Upper Bucks Campus is a relatively small community than other universities or colleges, therefore offering more personable relationships with educators and fellow students that will support and guide me in my studies. It is very important to me that I be in a more close-knit, but open environment where professors, advisors, counselors, and staff are professionally trained to equip me with the the knowledge and skills I need. Because the college is so close to where I live, it’s extremely convenient to commute. The short distance saves me money on gas, so that I will have more to spend on books and other educational needs. Also, each time I step on campus I am welcomed with a warm smile and an eagerness to tend to my specific needs. I appreciate the sense of community that Bucks has, and the way that I feel accepted there. It’s encouraging to know that I will be going to a school where I am not judged based on my disabilities or struggles with learning, but that I stand on a platform of support. One aspect of Bucks Community College that I find overwhelmingly helpful, is their transfer programs and agreements with other transfer colleges. Because of my desired degree, I will have to transfer to another college sophomore year. Things became so much clearer coming to Bucks, because I was immediately revealed to all of the opportunities of potential schools to transfer to. I am so grateful for the ease that this program has created for me; it has completely downsized the immense stress that I felt before knowing of it. Of course, the look of a college campus is inevitably a factor in deciding colleges, and looking at Upper Bucks, it wasn’t hard to decide how I felt. The glass panels surrounding the staircase, and the underground connection between the two buildings are so interesting to me. The look of the campus is very pleasing to the eye, but also easy to navigate. Each hallway has clear lettering of classroom numbers and directions, and students and staff in the buildings are always happy to give guidance. Finally, when I started the process of course selection, I was amazed by how many different selections Bucks offers. It was undoubtedly hard to pick just a few, because between the electives and required courses, I would've liked to pick them all. The vast list of different courses contains something for every unique individual coming to Bucks, leaving no one’s interests excluded. All of this being said after just completing one full year of college, I am so excited to discover what else is in store for the rest of my time at Bucks.
Courtney
Overall I believe it is a good starting point for people unsure about what they want to do with their lives. I also wish that my adviser had been someone in my major, and not in sports. But everyone there is always willing to help whenever I had a question or needed help.
Samantha
Bucks County community college is a wonderful school to start your college career. If you are looking to start college but not have a total culture shock this is a great place to start. Professors are great, campus is changing all the time for the betterment of our school, classes are normally a decent size of 25 or less. Definitely a great way to start college.
Samantha
Bucks County Community College is a great way to start your new career I am Barry thankful to be accepted and I’m excited to start this fall semester! The campus is beautiful, easy to navigate and everyone is very nice, I enjoy the small classes and I feel safe everyone.
Rebecca
Bucks County Community College has a very pretty campus and there is a lot to do around it. It's located very close to Newtown and all its shopping and eateries. Besides that i'm not too fond of the school. There are some teachers that are fantastic and really want you to succeed and go above and beyond to help you. But there are more teachers who want to make it complicated for you and don't help out or answer questions.
Anna
It is a great school for everyone. It is a good starter for your career. It is also cheaper than other colleges. You get many opportunities and you can always transfer to a bigger college after two years. People are very nice and helpful. You can make many great friends. There is always something to do.
Lena
Ive been going to Bucks County Community College for a year and half and it really a great steeping stone. I started here at Bucks not knowing what I wanted to do, now I am moving on to a four year school. When I go on to the four year school I will have already don't all my general classes. Therefore I will not have as much debt as I would normally have. My overall opinion is that it is a great school and would highly recommend it.
The fall 2020 acceptance rate for Bucks County 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?
Ignore what your dad will say, apply for scholarships. It will make paying for everything much easier. He went to college over 30 years ago, and he does not know what he is talking about. He will think that going to community college will be enough to reduce the cost to a reasonable amount, but he will be totally wrong. Additionally, what he will want is not the same thing as what you will want. Already having $10,000 will make convincing him that the college you want to go to is the right college much easier. Try to find a job that pays more than bussing and dishwashing. There are other people your age making twice as much as you waitering, so finding a job like that is not impossible. The less dependent you will be on loans the better.
What kind of person should not attend this school?
The kind of person who should not attend BCCC is someone who is there for the wrong reasons. It is an oustanding school, but it is not easy. You have to work hard and put a lot of effort into your program. If you are not a serious student, you shouldn't attend this school. You have to want the education.
What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?
Well so far I have only been there for one semester and all is going well. The only thing that i consider the worst thing is the parking. You have to drive around and look for a spot for five minutes, then you have to walk a mile to your class, and by that time your late for class. Other than that I have no complaints about the school, yet.
Buck's County Community College is best known for their artsy historical look. The Newtown campus has beautiful hisorical architecture throughout campus. Buck's County Community College seems to draw in the arts and literature.
Here's your chance: Say anything about your college!
The teacher to class size ration is great. I have always been used to small class sizes and this made me feel very comfortable. In addition, the campus was original a wealthy estate that was donated for the purposes of starting a school. It is a remarkably beautiful campus filled with tons of history. It is convientaly located and resides next to Tyler State Park.
The best thing about BCCC is the outstanding education it offers. It also offers quite a bit of extracurricular activities. Being a night school student, I was pleasantly surprised by the courses offered and the outstanding quality of the teachers. I am enjoying my adventure at BCCC towards my degree.
What's the most frustrating thing about your school?
Nothing frustrates me so far. I am in United States 6 month's so my english is not perfect but all teachers helps me with that, they dont make any issues about it.
