Very vast… so many impressive buildings. The professors are supportive and encouraging. Most classes are pretty intensive especially during the first year. They have great academic advisors though that guide you all the way. There is also the ASAP program that help students register and choose classes. They also find jobs for you in the summer and help with FAFSA filing.

I am currently working as a Biology Tutor at Bronx Community College. I have to say that communication is key to make sure that there is no misunderstanding with students, faculty, and staff. The College has a lot of resources for Bronx students, such as the Academic Success Center and the BCC Writing Center, so that future successful students may write and type in professional level to get the foot in the door to the career they eventually will get. Persistence, Drive, Writing, Communicating, Studying, and Knowing How to Relate to People will get you far, College Students of the Bronx!

I graduated with honors in Bronx Community College as an Honor Student in 2019 with a 3.25 GPA. When one of my clients for my tutoring company decided to go to my former college, I had to thank my client for giving me another social life on that campus. I am currently applying for a college tutoring job there, plus I got referrals from some of the faculty who still knew me after five years. This college even has accreditation (the boogie, expensive, private school I went to right after had exactly 0) and special services for all residents, from free GED classes to ASAP programs (for faster graduation, paid books, MetroCard, etc) to student tutors who “get you,” applications for SNAP, PELL, TAP, SSI, and Disability Accommodations. The experience is worth it. Some students, depending on financial status, can get potentially hefty tuition reimbursement checks! In a nutshell, BCC, with all of its understanding professors in a diverse campus, is a second home for serious students. Enjoy!

I graduated from Riverdale Country School in 2011 and attended BCC from 2012 to 2014 after taking a gap year. This is the most beautiful of all the CUNY campuses. I earned my AAS in Education. Professor Stephen Powers helped me to get many internships, jobs, and into an Honors Program at Queens College. Love walking past the campus ???????

For this spring semester (Spring 2023), I took English 112 with Professor Julia Rodas! Her class was very interesting with the readings we did. Julia had always found ways to help and give support to the class if they are stuck on something. This class was in between difficult and easy, as long as you were looking at the slides she provides that helps break down with mechanisms to do an essay for example. I had to do a research paper for this class and i learned a lot of info about why are parents being forced to sell their children and why does this happen. Im really glad Julia helped me with this research question. If it weren’t for her I wouldn’t have found out about this. I really enjoyed the vibe when i first entered the class. Without this class I wouldn’t have known how to find good resources. She is very supportive in guiding you how to better your writing skills. I feel like my writing skills got stronger by taking this class! i would recommend this course 10/10 if I could do it again, I would but i writing is not my profession to be honest. But if you’re majoring with anything that is involved with writing you MUST take this class. I sincerely appreciate the knowledge I’ve acquired from taking this class, and I know that it will be helpful in my future coursework. Thank you again Julia!
