Bristol Community College

This place needs some serious organization tips I can’t even tell you how many times they lost my files charged me for things I wasn’t supposed to pay for mixed up my financial aid and even had me take classes that were irrelevant to my major I know it’s community college but there is so need for this level or disorganization a couple professors were very nice and helpful and one of the receptionists is nice but other than that this place sucks

Really lousy on line application for a college. No proof of submission, no editing and office can’t answer your questions! Much room for improvement in admissions!

Unless you absolutely know what you want to do that requires a degree that community colleges don’t offer, I would say most students should begin their college careers at a community college like Bristol Community College. The location in Attleboro gives opportunity to many local residents who don’t have transportation options or have a whole lot of money. The first thing to point out is how affordable the college is. It was roughly a little over $ 3,000 dollars a year back when I went (but now it’s about 5,500). Nevertheless, that’s nothing compared to the average cost of a 4 year college which is about $ 10,000 a year (and $ 20,000 if you choose to live there).
BCC is where you should go if you want to see if you have what it takes to complete college. Many people find it a daunting task to immediately pick what they want to do and make such a huge financial commitment that may not pan out. BCC lets you complete all the general requirement classes that most 4 year degrees call for so you are doing the same classes that can be transferred later on at a cheaper price. If college is not for you, at least you will know that and your debt would be much smaller. If it is for you, you can get your 2 year degree and choose to transfer if you like. If you do your time at BCC without a real major or even a degree at all, that is also okay because you got all the gen ed classes out of the way that you can use for other majors.
I finished my time there in 2010 and transferred to a 4 year university and they took all 60 of my credits from BCC. It took me an additional 2 years before I got my Bachelor’s degree. The only thing I could recommend about BCC is perhaps they should add more programs. When I went, they didn’t have a whole lot of S.T.E.M programs which is in high demand now.
Update: Wow, I learned the tuition per year has gone up by about $ 2100 per year. But hey, they have added much more programs since 2008 that’s for sure so my review is pretty outdated.

I and the people I’ve talked to agree: Cheaper than all local competition; Better than all local competition.
This satellite campus of Bristol Community College is wholly adequate and satisfactory at a reasonable price. It affords two year degrees and has some dandy transfer agreements with, at a minimum, all UMASS schools.
