Categories Rating Comments In three sentences The Barton County Community College program offered at Fort Riley, Kansas was great. I loved the teachers and the selection of classes offered.
Tips for prospective students Sign up early and pay attention to deadlines. The new dean there is a stickler for sign-up deadlines and will not let you add a class even if there are only a couple of students, so be sure to sign up early.
Academic Rigor Most of the classes were challenging, however, a few were a bit difficult. I would take more classes there if I had the opportunity.
Bang for the buck wonderful!!! Best classes for the price ever.

Categories Rating Comments In three sentences Well coming to this school I really did not think there was alot to offer. After being here for almost a year already as an upcoming freshmen I fell In love with this campus, the people are great! There is alot of assistance out there for you.
Tips for prospective students I would recommend to keep your options open like it did. Never judge a school until you actually make a college visit. You will be surprised on the numerous activities you can be involved in.
Academic Rigor Really good school like I had mentioned. There are some down falls on the location of this school. First of all this college is found directly on top of a hill so it gets pretty windy. You have to drive 10 minutes to get into town, not a big issue but it can get pretty pricy on gas money if your wanting to go into town often.
Dorm Life Friendly surroundings. Everyone gets along with each other. It is a safe place to live, you can walk out of your dorm knowing on one will do anything harmful. They do have securities standing outside dorms making sure nothing bad is going on.
Food and Dining Well the food is great, very clean environment, but the food can get a little repetitive after eating there for a certain period of time.
What to do for fun There are a numerous of activies you can attend, for example there are $3 movies nights every wednesday or so. There is free bingo were you can win prizes. Not to long ago we had a Hawaiian Luau, which consisted of dinner and followed by a dance. There are so many things one can get involved in. You just have to be willing to participate.
