Student reviews

Professors

Current Student

Take the College Success Strategies for College and Life class in the beginning; your collegiate future will not be the same. This class gives one an unique outlook on one's life as a student. Other than that, the school gives one a positive attitude that keeps one dedicated and responsible, valuing the investment that one is making for one's future.

Current Student

When you have finished here at BCC, just remember, you can always transfer to UCF if you want to continue this long and perilous journey of education.

Campus and vibes

Current Student

This has helped me greatly in finding a good teacher. Don't expect any help from any of the administration (not just Palm Bay, all of the campuses are clueless). Decide what you are interested in doing, and look at which campus offers it. Most likely, Palm Bay or Titusville do not offer it (almost everything is at Cocoa.).

Cost and value

Current Student

There's no denying that BCC is ridiculously cheap, and the classes aren't bad at all- plus the course catalog is huge, so you're bound to find something you're interested in.

Current Student

You truly get your money's worth, and more, here. Put your full effort into the classes and you will see it was a great investment.

Current Student

I was able to take 5 classes for around $2,500 last semester. Not having anything else to compare to, I think it's a great price!

Current Student

This college provides an excellent education with a very affordable cost. I think it's amazing!

Current Student

As mentioned in the above box, DON'T buy or sell your books at the bookstore. They advertise rental books now, but I went in to rent a common psychology 1 book, and they said it's not available for rent. They will laugh at you if you ask for a used book (because they want your $$$).

Current Student

Prices at the cafeteria aren't the best either, so bring your own lunch unless money isn't a problem). Even though I'm bringing up all of these issues with BCC, these things are a problem at all colleges. Go to ratemyprofessor.com and find BCC and you will be able to find reviews on most teachers there written by their past students.

Current Student

When thinking about the future remember your text books. Never buy them from the book store, unless absolutely necessary. Buying books online is a great way to hold onto those dollars. Another topic to think about is to think deeper into your future.
