    BMCC is a good community college. I was able to attend here and learn a lot. Many of the professors I had were very helpful. They took time out to work with the students and for the most part help them enough to get good grades in the classes. This school is located in New York City which makes it convenient to get to because of the trains and buses that get you there. It is also a very good school for those who work. I took up night classes because of work. And to my surprise many others take them also. BMCC is a good community college
    Tips for prospective students

    Like every other school, as long as you do your work you will be okay.
    Academic Rigor

    Great professors for the most part. They also have a helpful staff.
    Dorm Life

    there are no dorms at BMCC because it is a community college
    Food and Dining

    BMCC has a cafeteria with many options to eat. from pizza to Spanish food to a salad bar. Because it is located in Tribeca in Manhattan there are many places to eat surrounding the school.
    Bang for the buck

    If you ever have any breaks in between classes you can always walk around the location of the school. There is lots to do. BMCC is located near the trains and on train times square in located 10 minutes away from the school.
    Great for these types of students

    BMCC is a great school for those who did not do so well in high school and now are not able to get into a four year school. The school helps get your grades up and prepare you for a four year school. This school is also great for those who have a busy schedule. People who have to work, like me, can benefit from there night classes that run late and their online classes.
    Clubs and Activities

    there are many clubs to choose from. I haven't joined a club because of my schedule, but there are many options in clubs and sports in the school.
    Campus Safety

    the school has security guards almost everywhere. It is a safe school

    At first, I was a bit down for deciding to attend this school because my dream school was John Jay. But after a year here, I realized that whenever you need a helping hand, there's ALWAYS someone there. The teachers actually care for students and want them to excel in the future.
    Tips for prospective students

    Stay on top of your game. Always do your work. And just have fun.
    Academic Rigor

    There's study groups and individual tutors to help at all times. The library is great for use.
    Dorm Life

    I wish there was.
    Food and Dining

    If you don't like the food in the cafeteria, there's PLENTY of food in the area.
    What to do for fun

    There's plenty of clubs to join. If not, grab a couple of friends and hang within the area.

    My professors are intelligent. They push their students to do more than the minimum. BMCC is a great start for anyone wishing to pursue higher education.
    Tips for prospective students

    Honestly, just do your work! You will be respected by your teachers and your peers, and you will better yourself as well. Don't slack off because if you do, you'll be spending more than 2-3 years here, which should not be the case!
    Academic Rigor

    So far so good. The teachers really want to help and they challenge their students to do as best as they can.
    Dorm Life

    No such thing.
    Food and Dining

    Haven't eaten from their cafeteria but there are loads of places around the school's area where you can eat!
    What to do for fun

    Check out the Theatre department :) Oh, and there's a pool in the school! I'm still discovering what else there is to do though...
    Bang for the buck

    A lot of people complain but I'm grateful BMCC even exists. So far my professors have been good and at a level of thinking you would expect a professor to be. I think it's worth it to come here, even if its just as a stepping stone.
    Clubs and Activities

    Many clubs you can join!
    Campus Safety

    They check everyone to make sure they have proper CUNY ID. Guards on every floor or entrance/exit. Not bad.

    CUNY Borough of Manhattan Community College is a great school. Prior to attending the school I had preconceived notions that were not good; however, while attending BMCC, the school exceeded my expectations. BMCC offers many programs and workshops that are in the student’s best interest including: financial advisement, job readiness, tutoring, social groups ECT.
    Tips for prospective students

    Tips I have for prospective students would be to start school with an end goal in mind and never loose sight of it. Focus on time-management as it is essential while being a full-time student especially if one may have a job or other time-consuming activities in their life. Always remember if you work hard you should play hard, I say that because there are high depression rates amongst college students so remember to squeeze a bit of social time (of course only when all duties are complete). This last bit of advice goes hand in hand with the tips provided above as I also believe it is very important to prioritize accordingly as you will notice your college experience being that much easier.
    What to do for fun

    Clubs, gym, pool and just socialize
    Great for these types of students

    Any student who would like a great start on their learning path should attend BMCC.

    Bmcc is a great school that prepares one for the rigorous and challenging work load that lies ahead in four year colleges. In addition, the institution possesses incredible teacher's who are outstanding at what they do as well as are very willing to aid you in your problems.

    Bmcc is an outstanding school and should not be taken for granted even though it is a community college, it offers an extensive and challenging set of courses that are fully on par with other classes offered at four year institutions.
    Academic Rigor

    The Courses offered at BMCC are somewhat rigorous, especially the natural sciences. For it requires a significant amount of time as well as full participation in the classes.

    Bang for the buck

    The institution is top notch in regards to cost. Even though the tuition may be miniscule, one has an opportunity to obtain a superb and well gratifying learning experience, not to mention the experience of a diverse community of incredible people.
    Great for these types of students

    The Institution is open to all types of person's, no matter what background or ethnicity one may be.
    Clubs and Activities

    The clubs at BMCC range from Math clubs to fashion clubs. There must be a club that fits your persona and matches the type or person one may be.
    Campus Safety

    Although the School is outstanding in all other areas, security is somewhat mediocre and can be improved as time goes on.

    CUNY BMCC is a very diverse community college. It consists of teenagers who grades were not high enough to get in to a 4-year college or who were not able to afford a 4-year college and adults who want to go back to school and get a degree. The staff are helpful and some students are nice. BMCC is what you make it.
    Tips for prospective students

    -ONLY attend this CC if it is your LAST option because in my opinion attending a 4-year university would be much better than a 2-year college in the long run.
    -The food is okay and it is quite expensive so bringing your own snacks with you would be a good idea.
    -The area around the school is BEAUTIFUL but in the winters it gets very cold because the Hudson river 2 blocks away so dress in layers.
    -Join an extra-curricular activity to pass your time.
    -Be very social and join clubs.
    Academic Rigor

    The work load and rigor varies amongst the levels and the professors. If you work hard and study you will get As and Bs. Do not slack off because you have an easy professor because your professor after that may not be so easy.
    Dorm Life

    There are NO dorms at BMCC.
    Food and Dining

    The food is expensive but it is okay. Burgers, Hot Dogs, Cold Sandwiches, and Salads are sold and there re plenty of vending machines in the cafe which is huge.
    What to do for fun

    There are many clubs to join as well as many places surrounding the college to kill time and have some fun.
    Bang for the buck

    You cannot go wrong with any community college. It is cheap for a reason.
    Great for these types of students

    There is a huge library located in the building as well as a lab area where there is free printing.
    Clubs and Activities

    Plenty of collegiate activities to go around.
    Greek Life

    There are a few sororities and fraternities but be careful when joining one because if you plan on transferring colleges you will not be able to join another sorority or fraternity at your present school.
    Campus Safety

    The campus is full of security. Everywhere you turn there is a security officer present and some of them are very nice.
