I previously attended a private 4-year university and though my GPA had been a 3.85, I had been very unhappy with what I got for the money and decided it wasn't for me. When I decided to go back to school, Bergen Community was all I could afford and I went into it with low expectations; after all, If I had been so unhappy at an overpriced, private 4-year university then would I possibly be impressed with a 2-year community college? That was exactly what happened though. All but one of my BCC professors have been exceptionally wonderful teachers (Significantly better than the professors at my former college) and BCC offers far more in available student support services. At BCC, I can afford the tuition, I have excellent professors who are knowledgeable and compassionate, and as a physically disabled single mother returning to school after many years, I greatly appreciate the support services. My experience proves that a bigger price tag doesn't necessarily mean a better education.
Bergen community college it's a great community college with excellence programs. I'll decide to go to that community college it's for the best program of radiation therapy. I did my research and saw that in New Jersey the best radiation program is in the community college. I made my decision to study this career because i am very interested in it. And more so because Radiation Therapy focuses a lot on cancer and most of my family have survived and died from this disease for which there is still no cure. It was great work with your schedule. Do only what you can handle. No rush to finish the race. Lots of resources in and off campus. Parking is plentiful, bus connections are great.
It's been my second semester here at bergen. From the start, I have been doing online. It's amazing. They have good staff. They have very helpful to everyone. They have a lot of faculties for different areas for eg: financial literacy rate, academic counseling, transfer faculty, SI faculty(which clears one doubt in a specific section of academics). For those with a GPA of 3.7 or higher get a chance to do a paid internships and work on the research projects of their major subject. It's also affordable and the best community college in New Jersey. Professors are awesome. If you are ready to work hard then they will help you in every possible way. They are very motivating and make the subject very interesting. It offers a lot of opportunities and has many sports clubs. In short its value for money.
