    I attend the Boulder County Campus. Currently saving so much in tuition fees, I can't believe more people don't start here. Most of the professors that teach here ALSO teach at nearby universities, which goes to show that you can get the exact same curriculum without having to pay so much money! The only thing about BCC is that the campus isn't very big, and there isn't really a cafe because it is under construction. However, there are food trucks that come by because of the construction, and it means that the campus is improving! Also, there isn't really a "party scene", but I find that this helps me focus much more of my attention towards advancing in my classes. FRCC offers an array of clubs/student involvement, as well as frequent on-campus readings and public speaking events. There are also opportunities available to students who want to develop professional workplace skills through the school's work-study program, which I've found to be an enriching experience!

    the advising staff is incredibly helpful with scheduling and helping you figure out what you need to do. The campus staff is always friendly. The biology department is amazing and so fun and interesting, every biology teacher I've had has been a blast and made the class less stressful, while still keeping it educational. There is also free tutoring on campus which makes it easier to get through any class! Love this community college!
