    I have been a BC3 student since 2017. While I was skeptical to attend in the beginning, I feared I would miss out on the best education and miss that college experience. It has turned out to be an amazing 3 years! I have met so many great people, my classes were never disappointing, and it has made me quite successful. I have gotten two jobs through BC3 and a huge discount on the University I am transferring to for my Bachelors Degree.

    The setting and the teachers and wonderful students. The beautiful campus is surrounded by forest, it's almost like it's smacked right in the middle of the woods! Quiet, beautiful, and the staff and students are amazing people. It's not your typical loud, obnoxious campus but it's the perfect setting if you're like me and enjoy nature. On the college tour I saw a beautiful baby doe calmly walking around on campus. You won't find moments like that in the big city campus.
    I spent 2 years at BC3. Overall my experience at the college was great. Academics were good, depending on class and professor some classes were easy and some challenging. Diversity was average. Majority of students are from Butler or bordering cities. Some professors are passionate about their careers which is nice to have. Campus safety is always walking around and they have emergency stops located around campus. Its easy to get involved at BC3 and they have a large variety of clubs. All together my time at BC3 was great, I would recommend it to any student.
