During my first semester at Baltimore city community college, I was a bit scared coming back to school after a five year gap. My professors, classmates, and advisor all made the transition back to school easy and uncomplicated. I am learning so much and I love my classes.
I was excited initially when first applying to the dental hygiene program. I thought it was too good to be true, with costs being so low and available grants I was getting. I was wrong. The amount of issues , disrespect, and lack of communication I got from this school was absolutely disappointing, and contributes to the negative views people have about Baltimore city, which was the saddest part. Hardly anyone answers the phone, to get any information, you have to go in person and hope someone wants to do their job that day. Registration office is always a mess. The only some-what helpful people are the guidance councilors, and academic advising if you could get a meeting. As for the dental hygiene program, save yourself the time and constant head ache and go to another school. It is NOT worth it. The teachers have not improved their teaching styles, even after covid and being online for almost 2 years. There are maybe 2 decent EDUCATORS who want you to succeed.
A very good place to go if you need flexibility with classes, there way a lot of online/evening classes available.
I like that they have my major and wonderful professor who help with the major you pursuing and gives good advice as a Black student and they could do better on the funding
The school is ok but it’s hard connecting with someone at the school and they do not accept loans so once you use your pell and grants there is no funding to complete your program
I am a high school graduate and this will be my first year attending BCCC. They don't have on campus living arrangements and I have to catch the bus and the bus takes an hour to get there.
Overall Baltimore City college is a cool school. It’s not really a place where students get that involved but you can if you choose too.
Baltimore city community college is a school with well-trained professors ready to go to any length to help students achieve their goals and careers. The professors record the classes and allow you to re-watch them if you miss anything during lecturing. They also have tutorial classes for students struggling and students are also given the privilege to help other struggling students in the tutorial and they are paid for their services as a way of encouragement.
They have great class flexibility for someone like myself who work full time and have children. Everyone is willing to help you succeed. The professors are patient and most of them have Doctorate Degrees who taught and graduated from prestigious universities. You get the same education that you would get from a University for a cheaper price.
I was recently informed that I still needed to take a computer literacy class before I can apply for the dental hygiene program. When I went to register to test out I was informed that the format changed & alot of students were failing/complaining. On the website it stated we would be tested on windows 10, PowerPoint, excel, and word. I studied and failed the first time. It's not common knowledge, I use a computer on a daily basis for personal/work. I asked if the test is the same the second time you take it, I was told yes. As soon as I was done taking the first test, I wrote down everything I could remember that was on the exam so I knew what to study. They don't have a study guide. I had 6 full pages of topics I studied that were on the first test, the second test included none of what was on the first exam. I honestly feel like they set you up for failure. I KNEW I was going to pass! I studied up until it was time to test. IF you're a computer major you MIGHT pass,otherwise no.
I like what this college has to offer. The overall experience is good and do not let anyone shame you into going to a community college because it is better financially and the curriculum will be good and sometimes as great as the universities.
So far so good. Staff and professors have been more than helpful with my return to school. Online courses have been done through zoom and they use canvas to communicate which has been extremely easy to learn.
Love that they offer virtual/ online classes very helpful staff and willing teachers. I’ve appreciated my time here very much
This is my first year of college and I decided to do my classes online because I'm currently employed . However the professors are really helpful keep you updated with any new assignments we will be receiving each week. Also my teacher decided to have a tutoring on zoom for those students who need additional help so I believe that's a good thing to do.
I think my experience with Baltimore City College was at least average. I started community college in Fall 2017(before the pandemic). I'm a rather introverted student, but the students I met are pleasant and understanding. The professors were very sympathetic and took time for students to makes ends meet. And the staff was kind of mah, I don't know how to say it. But my experiences were going bad around the beginning of the pandemic. Every class was virtual. I didn't felt engaged to learn because I'm already home, so I get easily distracted and do something else. My only reason to log in to class was to get my attendance. And getting in contact with the faculty/staff was even worse online. Based on my experience, anyone I tried to contract never responds by phone because they are not in their office or possibly responding by email. After all, I never know when I will get a reply. I want to state that my time on the campus was decent, but my online experience was horrific.
Teaches are very nice and is willing to have a one on one session with you to understand the subject.
Teachers can be helpful or useless, some have trouble explaining what they want and need from students others dont explain and just expect for you to know things. Administration also very debatable
