Butte-Glenn Community College District

I am currently enrolled in the nursing program at the main campus. The teachers and program are amazing. They are very caring and want you to succeed.
Financial aid on the other hand could careless. I don’t qualify for financial aid so I need to pull out loans. Unfortunately you can’t get a loan without filing for FAFSA, so I filed before the deadline which is at the end of February I believe, and my file is still processing. This school does not release loan applications until the file is completely processed. They do not have them online, they do paper. I have been trying to get a hold of them because school starts August 24^th and it takes 6 to 8 weeks for loans to pay out. Last time I checked textbooks are expensive and I need those funds to pay for my books. But the school expects me to put them all on a credit card. So put myself in debt while I am waiting to put myself in debt. That makes sense.

As I’m approaching the end of my first semester here at Butte College, there are definitely more pros than cons about Butte College. First, the campus is very nice. Completely green «sustainable» facilities and very modern and clean architecture. Second, the teachers are all very nice for the most part. While grading on attendance is not something I am particularly fond of, I guess community college needs to separate itself from bigger universities somehow. Only other disadvantage is the bus schedule for those without a car, especially the different «less frequent stop» schedule on Fridays. Other than the bus schedule and attendance grading, there are no other true disadvantages of going to school here. A very good place to attend if you’re looking to transition into a larger university and pursue an undergraduate degree.

I took a 35 mm black and white glass at Butte College. It was an amazing class. I was in the darkroom preparing prints for an exhibit. One of the other students was developing his pictures, topless photos of his girl friend.
The instructor walked in, looked at the print of the girl friend, and said «Not developed enough!» When the instructor realized what the picture content was, he turned twenty shades of red.

Butte College has been my home away from home for many years now. I have not only been a student, but I have also worked various jobs on campus. Most of the staff are very helpful and knowledgeable. The campus itself is quite beautiful, as it is located in a wild life refuge. I attended Chico State and was sad to discover that CSUC was far behind Butte College in many areas and aspects. The college bus system is one of the best for a community college in the United States. They really go out of their way to help students here and I highly recommend attending this institute of learning.

Butte College is a typical community college to me. The Chico location is where I usually attended class. It was conveniently located, offered pretty much every service as main campus and had many class options too.
My only complaint is that they don’t offer science classes. But then again, it is not the main campus, so I can see why.

I am trying, TRYING to get med school credits here (already have the BA, just need the science credits). The state schools around here, where my amazing, amazing clinic job is, are just too expensive. But I am about as unimpressed as I could possibly ever be. Do NOT go here if you can help it. I have found that it is loaded with the least qualified, most bored teachers on the planet — and they couldn’t care less about whether or not you can even speak a sentence, let alone pass their class. I am downright ashamed of my association with this school.
