I will be attending this fall… I know it’s probably too early to judge, however as an international student, how welcoming a college is, is actually very, very imperative in decision making! The staff here has been GREAT! Friendly, they’ve been a constant guide from the start of my admissions application throughout all the different steps I have to take as an international student… if anything changes, I’ll update this review but am giving them the benefit of the doubt and trust that this family and welcoming spirit will remain the same!!

UPDATE: I am 8 months in. After two more months, I am finishing my first year! I have done exceptionally well and have been granted tremendous life-changing opportunities!!!!!! The people are so good to me!! I can't wait to see what next term brings.

Im in my first semester now and being a non traditional student, meaning I'm older than most students, my first two weeks were hard because they are very high tech and I knew nothing about computers. Everything, all your assignments and homework is done and turned in on the computer. Thanks to my Computer teacher, Mrs. Hicks, whose also over the I.T. dept, and the other students being so helpful, I'm still hanging in. The way they got it set up, it's like they make it impossible for you to fail. All the teachers were very understanding and gave me extra time to figure it out. I've not met an unkind or unhelpful staff member yet.

An experience I'll never regret! From the Fantastic professors to the students! One of my first days in class, my professor said, "just because you will be getting an education doesn't mean you have to run around acting like a fool, It'll make you look like an educated idiot"! There's nothing like an educated idiot......Hahaha! Loved it. From some of the posts it seems as if some people could've benefited from her class. 🙂 Nevertheless, I was employed BEFORE graduation. Mr. Ivery please learn about this college out before spouting off. Ms. N. Penn, an author, and professor there, may she RIP, advised me to write a book based on my skills and experiences. I won't elaborate on that any further. The FIRST TIME I MET Mia Angelo, WAS THERE at BSC! There were others I had the PLEASURE OF listening to and speaking with. Had I not attended this great college it would've never been possible! It ranks EXCEPTIONALLY HIGH in NURSING, COMPUTER SCIENCE......Don't forget the robotic dept.! Engineering! There's so much more including the education as well as trips offered that would NEVER be possible for most to the lifestyle. Thanks BSC for opening my mind and and eyes, so that in essence advantageous opportunities was made available to me.

I'm an HBCU alum, and i don't know very about this school and I'm an avid HBCU historian. I've heard much about it NOT being an HBCU, in the sense that there are hardly any black or minority students as is a few other colleges in this part of the U.S. If it is true, the history should remain, but funding as an HBCU should be pulled.

they used to have a great computer science department, and I am sure they still do. However, some teachers were not so nice, giving grades by whether they like a student than by merit and test grades.

BSC has a long history. Over the years it's position on academics has changed. The engineering and nursing classes make up the majority of students interest.

Been receiving emails from this school that I've never even heard of. Asked them to stop, but still keep getting them. The emails also begin with "Dear Greg", so they obviously can't even send the email to the correct person. So why would someone want to go to a school that ignores your requests and can't even send an email to the correct person?

We have had a few parties at the pool! It's always clean, the lifeguard is always helpful, all in all it's a great experience!
