A good start to one's college education for the price! I was able to obtain my AA-T in two years. The professors are overall pretty good! While attending the school I played for the tennis team, therefore allowing me to get priority registration for classes which was a huge help because getting classes can be difficult.

I started Bakersfield College after high school which was 2013, it is now 2018 and I will be graduating Bakersfield College with a AA. Bakersfield College has been great to me! The four years that I have attended to Bakersfield College it has been fun and stressful. It was the school that I change majors three time and helped me find the major I want to fully succeed.
Bakersfield College (Delano Campus) is small but has enough classrooms to fulfill your college experience. The classrooms can fit 20-30 people. There is enough parking space to get parking every time if you have a parking permit. Overall, the Delano Campus is great!
