    Bay really helps you make a slow and easy transition into college. The workload is the perfect amount to where you are challenged but not overwhelmed. All of the professors are approachable and very personable. Best of all, Bay college is affordable. BAY IS THE WAY!

    If I were to rate the Nursing Department at Bay College I would only give one star. It has got to be the most unorganized, staff oriented program. There is very minimal resorces to help students in need. Since switching to the new program they have just changed the name of three courses which cost some students close to three grand extra for classes they have already taken. And they required you to buy a book package and stated it would be all you needed for the reminder of the program and now for the next class here we are buying new books and an additional Sims charting! Go somewhere else if you want your nursing license!
    A few of the arts programs where cut during cutbacks, they are trying to restore the theatre, I however do not see it working out. They also now have a sports team that I feel is not needed. However their faculty is outstanding! And their facility is always expanding and being made better and more accessible to students! Also, as long a's you at end the school you get free passes to the YMCA!
