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.
Bakersfield College is an excellent starting point in one's college career. They have several student programs to assist a student become successful in college. They have the writing center which comprises of professionals, Bachelor degreed or Masters degree, that helps a student in their writing courses, assignments, resumes, college applications, etc. They even provide computer areas to enable a student access their homework, writing, or whatever the student need to work on. Bakersfield college also provides a Math center for those who are in need of assistance or desires to take a math class on their own. The tutoring center is probably one of the student services that one is interested in. They provide student tutoring in any class that a student needs, not to mention the group studies a teacher's assistant provides. Financial Aid assistance is available. I have taken advantage of most of these services and I have always been satisfied in the result of my grades.
Very easy and comprehensive! Very friendly staff and professors. Both online and physical classes are available but they do have options for strictly online. In the midst of the pandemic, it’s good to see how they are able to make things work for not only staff, but students.
