    Bunker Hill Community College has been a great school for me, especially during a personal period of adjustment and change. The adjunct professors that I have had have been outstanding! You may have the ability to be educated on the same level as undergraduate students attending large and private universities but at a tremendously cheaper rate. BHCC has also been a great school for making connections with professors and other students who are on a similar path. There are always a ton of events happening as well, which are often fun and a great way to raise awareness around various topics happening in our world today. I have had a great time starting my path of higher education at Bunker Hill Community College.

    You can notice the great diversity of Bunker Hill Community College right away.I had just had a baby so all the staff and professors were very understanding and helpful about my situation. My first English teacher is my favorite professor,so far, because she revised my essay of my birth five times! Until it was an A. What I would like to see change is the library computers because some kids depend on the computers at the campus and end up running into so much problems,making college even more stressful than it already is.
    I attended BHCC for my A.A. in Psychology. While the initial admissions process may be tedious due to high volume of applications, it is a great school and there are many great professors there. I did a mix of online and in-person courses and found the curriculum and staff to be designed for me to succeed in both. The teachers were understanding of life events and were very willing and enthusiastic to explain the material further and allow you to make up work. There are some safety concerns that occur as in any other campus in the city many times suffers from muggings but not more so. I am also unsure about the party scene at BHCC as there are not any dorms or clubs within walking distance. BHCC also offers lowest tuition in the state of MA!
