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
Spring 2020 was my graduation semester, and the first one where my classes were not online. That changed halfway through when COVID 19 resulted in everything becoming distance learning. The advisors and counselors did fantastic with the change! They made it very easy to set up zoom meetings and keep up to date on everything. Most of my professors were flexible and understanding of the new circumstances, however there were a couple that expected everything to stay the same. I am a very independent learner, so I was able to graduate on the Deans list. However, I know some students who rely on professor help to learn, and they had to withdraw because they had professors who were not as easy to communicate with, even before COVID.
