Felipe Su Li Student at This School - Grad Year 2013
The school, Borough of Manhattan Community College, is a great community college. It is convenient to get to, classes are quite flexible, the staff and professors are mostly very kind and helpful. Also, it has different kind of groups of people there. It has a lot of student events including Asian Month, African Month, and so on. The school is big and has a lot of resources that can help students like computer labs, printing labs, library, and even several buildings. In conclusion, BMCC is a school that offers every resource and fits your needs and schedule.
S A Student at This School - Grad Year -
Good qualities include: flexibility in class schedule, the professors are very helpful and go the extra mile with students. Bad qualities: Communication (except among professors) stinks! For simple issues, I have had to speak with 3-4 people to have it resolved. I'm "assigned" an advisor I've never met who has chosen my classes for me. Now that I'm entering my second semester, I'm being forced to schedule an appointment with my "advisor" before I can register. No one (again, except professors) responds to emails or returns phone calls. I'm sure I'm not the only person having this issue since this is happening with many departments/people.
