Bristol Community College

I feel a duty to tell people the real deal here so they can dodge this bullet.
If I could give this «school» zero stars I would. This place has some of the most lazy, disinterested, and unhelpful professors I’ve ever seen. The majority of them are under qualified to work at Burger King, much less a junior college, they are highly unprepared on a daily basis and totally inflexible. These idiots wouldn’t know a lesson plan if it smacked them in the face. There has to be only 20 or fewer people working there that are under 70 years old. Just a bunch of dinosaurs that should give it up and retire. The adjuncts are the best thing that ever happened to the school, now how ass backwards is that? They actually have the energy, experience, common sense, and hustle and go attitude that a professional educator should have. They pay homage to the president like he’s god or something, but the guy is full of hot air and doesn’t give a hoot about the school or the students, yet he gets a new expensive building dedicated to him.
These people seem to think Bristol is a world class educational institution, but its a joke. I wouldn’t send my pet to go here. The only reason most people go here is because its the only comm. college in located in the area. Otherwise you drive to the cape and go to another that’s just as bad. I hear the other BCC campuses are not as bad, but I doubt it. Then, they have the nerve to micromanage the learning experiences and demand the professors make the course extra challenging for no reason, because the departments all know that the professors are glorified babysitters, and they need to protect their accreditation. So to look good, we gotta fail one or two, and lets make the final nothing remotely near what they studied all semester.
Let’s be honest, people who go to cc’s lack the money or grades to go elsewhere, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get a quality education at a community college. You can, just not this one. There is so much wrong and terrible about this place idk where to start. Silly bureaucracy in the administration, clueless and rude financial affair office, ridiculously large campus (this is not a good thing at a cc, its downright unnecessary, and they have the nerve to be expanding, guess who’s gonna pay for that! On top of all that, the tuition is unjustifiably high!
On to the extracurriculars: The food services SUCKS. Almost everything tastes like cardboard. They seem to think the food is exquisite, but these are the same dingbat unhealthy kids who eat wings, nuggets and fries out of a bag 6 days a week, The only healthy options are the salad bar, and what school doesn’t have that. The food from the grill is of course disproportionately higher, for no reason, its not any healthier than the fried leftover junk they serve everyday. I asked for fruit and they pointed me to a half rotted basket of «hand fruit» basically soft moldy apples and bananas. I passed. The dairy goods are almost always expired, check the dates!
The campus clubs suck. They open and fold more than the overpriced textbooks, which I’ll get to later. None of the kids there join them, as many of them are not mature enough to get that no college wants an uncultured anti social weirdo who goes to school in his jammies and wipes his nose on his sleeve. Why the hell are people going to class in Cosplay? The gamers and underachieving geeks (who has ever heard of a dumb geek?) roam the café and make eating there obnoxious and impossible. The janitorial services must be volunteers because the whole campus is constantly filthy, just a sticky, smelly, dusty mess. The floors and bathrooms are never clean, and I mean never. People poop in the bathroom after lunch like clockwork, and you won’t believe me when I say a bunch of folks don’t wipe or flush. I feel like I’m in a fucking daycare. There are basically no athletics, no leisure, no play, all work, no rewards.
The security are like a small nazi, always patrolling, and they abused their homeland security fund check they got from the gov, to buy a bunch of sub military shit, and overpay these weirdos. They have these really fucked up safety drills and proceed to scare the crap out of you, crawl on the floor, turn off the lights, now, now, now! Wtf!?! Is this safety or paranoia? Anything to justify that extra money in the budget, eh? They should’ve invested that money into the overcrowded library or the foodservice department. The wifi is completely ass, and the desktop pc’s in the computer labs are mind numbingly slow, the servers are going to implode someday. There is nothing worthwhile about studying at this place. he programs of study are for people who are never gonna leave the area, and have never actually even been out of it. Where the hell can that take you? The coursework in the majors is so inflexible that its frustrating, all to discredit your degree and keep you enrolled there, god forbid you hope to transfer, much less finish! Thank me later!

Unless you can’t get into a real college, don’t waste your time!

Ya BCC! I went here for two years and had a blast in the IT/​Networking program. I graduated cum lade and I also worked for BCC both as a part-​timer and work study. They gave me most of my real world work skills!
