I recently started at Bakersfield College after being out of school for 20 years. To say I was nervous to return to college would be a huge understatement. On my first day on campus, I immediately felt welcome. Student services and staff were set up at tents welcoming new and returning students to the campus. The enrollment process and every other facilitator or staff member have been beyond helpful. They make the process very easy. The amount of opportunities are endless. The school has a strong athletics department and they are proud of their accomplishments. I also have been impressed to learn about the large amounts of work opportunities, clubs available, programs in place to help a student succeed, tutoring services, and online class opportunities. Bakersfield College has several wonderful campuses. I'm proud to be a Renegade!
As a recent graduate student from Bakersfield College, my overall experience was amazing. Communication has always been one of the biggest things for me. Going into college, I had many doubts and questions, Bakersfield College made the transition from being just a regular high school student to a young adult attending college very easy. The campus itself was always filled with help. The staff made things so much clearer and easier to understand especially when it came to setting up a schedule that worked best for me, being a full time student and working full time was a struggle at first, but having that support from Bakersfield College really helped balance it out and took so much stress off of my shoulders! Bakersfield College helped me build my career pathway and gave me the best experience one could have when becoming a new college student.
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.
