The campus is beautiful and built to accommodate all of the students and house materials for Labs! Also the professors are really nice, understanding and patient with their students .
Furthermore, there’s a lot of resources on campus to help students out like Mesa, Tutoring and the Library. Moreover, tuition is paid for through Financial Aid, EOPS and programs that are very helpful and beneficial for students. Lastly, BC has this wonderful store called Bakersfield Pantry that gives you free food just for being a student. This comes in had especially when you’re really hungry and are broke.

Bakersfield College has been a great stepping stone for me. They have tons of resources, teachers are very helpful as well as counselors. I can’t wait to graduate soon & apply for the nursing program that’s so popular here in Bakersfield,California. They have athletics, clubs, and all sorts of classes and different majors to choose from. Our campus is self explanatory, once you get a hang of where the buildings are everything becomes easy to find. There are a few restaurants in the area but overall the campus is located near the edge of Bakersfield where it’s quite. Bakersfield College is a diverse campus where you will find different people of all nationalities to interact with. I am not familiar with Dorms but their are many affordable apartments in the area if needed as well as homes, schools and parks nearby. My overall experience again, has been an amazing stepping stone and learning experience. If you’re a student looking for direction or to transfer to a 4 year this is for you
There’s great teachers that are willing and WANT you to succeed. They have great and affordable services, tuitions, and counseling. I feel like the buildings just could be a little more updated. They are starting to have more updated buildings, but outdated ones could use some work. But seriously- phenomenal supporting staff. There’s a great music program there too, as a music major they are SO supportive. It’s not so overwhelming. They are always willing to hear you out and help you out. If you have problem with any staff member, you report it and they will start putting some actions in place.
