    not a party school. there are no fraternities or night club discounts for students of btc. classes interfere way too much with weed and binge drinking and the staff are not commited to providing a free pass if you show up drunk to class. two thumbs down.

    Am learning a lot

    September of 2009 I lost my job of 19 years at Philips Ultrasound in a large scale reduction in force. I researched my options carefully and found Bellingham Technical College to be well aligned with local industry. In just my first two quarters I have learned so much about my new field of industrial processes, especially petroleum refining and electric power generation.
    Am enjoying being here

    I am enjoying my time at BTC. I am currently serving on the PTEC safety committee, enjoy active membership in Phi Theta Kappa honor society and attend student body and effective communications meetings regularly. There is no gym or athletic program at this time (as of Spring 2010).
    Bang for the buck

    Tuition and books are expensive, but relative to other community colleges, BTC is not out of line. Prices may vary widely between different classes and programs, but my full time schedule runs roughly $1300 per quarter for tuition and $310 per quarter for books.
    Tips for prospective students

    Study up before taking the Accuplacer entrance exam. Maybe visit math.com or something like it. This will save you pre-req time and money.
    Great for these types of students

    Great place for students who would like to learn practical, real world skills so that they can get back to work.
