I feel so comfortable at Butte. The instructors are awesome, the staff is ALWAYS willing to help students plan their futures and help them with whatever they could need. I plan on staying here and taking almost all the classes for my bachelors degree here! It is the best!
Review Butte College
Most teachers are nice and caring students. The campus building are new, but it is not so clean. There are little trash on the floor. Students attitude are depend on people, there are some smart and hard working students, but not all. Many students are working, and they have car. If you want to make many friends at Butte College, you can, but you might difficult to hang out with them. The campus located far away from town, so most student ride bus or their car hour long distance. There are only one bus for every hour, so if student miss bus, they might late or miss their class.
I am a political science major which means I get to hear a lot of different perspectives from a lot of different students and staff members. I spend large amounts of time both in the library and in the computer lab completing work for my major but also preparing activities for my SI group. I am an SI Leader for an argumentation and debate class here at Butte College. This has come in handy with my major as well. My experience here, overall, has been very positive. The curriculum, facilities, and job opportunities are more than I could have ever expected.
