Bucks County Community College Reviews
Rating 3.84 out of 5 521 reviews
Overall, I enjoyed my time at Bucks County Community College. I started as an engineering major, which ended up being a mistake. The prerequisites are very tedious and redundant and most of the STEM teachers are not good at their job. They were all great people but just did not know how to teach students. Once I changed my major to Film Production, I had a much better experience with much better teachers. I think the biggest thing I think should be done differently is allowing students more freedom in classes and how/when they take them. The best part was how friendly all of the staff were.
I am currently a student at BCCC. My experience has been unique, from the advisors, teachers, and even my classmate. Some of us start here as an easy and less expensive choice and some may say they want to transfer to a better school because they believe community college is not a good enough college, but that is wrong. Many of the teachers have been at this school for years or even attended Bucks at one time in their life. They understand the struggle and are willing to help and encourage the students every step of the way. There is many choices on how you choose to learn from online, zoom mixed with online or in-person. Bucks is a great college.
Bucks County Community College is an incredibly accommodating and safe school. I am very glad I am attending it for my Associate's Degree as the professors actually try their best to teach and review difficult concepts as many times as possible, as well as provide office hours for students and help create study groups. The classes online are very organized and thoroughly explained, and teachers respond to emails within 24 hours. The campus and the inside of the buildings is very clean and organized, there is a place to relax inside before you go to class and everybody is calm and respectful of their surroundings. There is a fully furnished gym and place for yoga and the cafeteria is again, very clean and always fresh with many options for those that may have dietary restrictions. I see people from all cultural and religious backgrounds on campus and nobody is ever rude or judgmental of anybody else, which makes me feel very happy and safe.
