Not so bright
As a current student, I can say that this school is the worst community college in the city, let alone in the state itself. The Proffesors are alright, the Eng Proffesors are excellent but the Math Department is a complete disgrace. The surrounding city is horrible esp for low income students who cant or afford lunch or who have to sacrifice a dollar to do so. The School On-Campus enviorment is horrible, for pete sakes, the escalators have been malfunction for the past 10 years. Every semester the escalators are down. The Bursar section is a complete mess and the workers are lazy. They have 3 windows open when the line is filled with 50 people. The Organization for many of the Programs are sloppy and hectic. im about to transfer, I am searching for another school to escape this nightmare. Please take this comment as golden advice.

I am currently attending BMCC where i am a theatre major. And those who in that particular major, know that the theatre department seems almost like a separate entity from the rest of the school. All the theatre professors are engaging, brilliant, and they really do care about your education.The students(in the theatre dept.) and friendly, smart,and they all have interesting personalities and are very talented. Its like your apart of a family and everyone is working together towards a common goal. The REST of the school, however...well that can be debated. Because BMCC allows ANYONE into the school...the place is filled with radio-loving ghetto youths who thinks it's high school.

And thats another thing alot of people who go to the school have the mentality as if they're in middle/high school. and it can be VERY annoying and distracting at times.
Weh i had to take my general requirement classes i was lucky enough to have some decent engligh 101 and 201 professors...who actually gave a shit and didn't treat the class like a bunch of drooling idiots...my sociology and speech professors were most mundane of the bunch. The administration side of the school is a fucking NIGHTMARE!...people love to give you the run-around and it's to the point where you might think it's a goddamn sport. If theres something wrong with your financial aid or bill isn't settle, god help you because you'll be going here, there, and everywhere trying to gather all the right papers, signatures, etc... all in all BMCC is an OK and its on of those things where you're experience may very. But if you really want to reap the benefits of the school you must know how to speak up, and be able to smell and point out the bullshit because theres a lot of it...success there is not for the meek.

BMCC Is not what people make it seem. but i guess for some people it has it good and bad sides. For me though it gave me a lot of problems. The faculty can be really rude and not very helpful. Most of the time they give you the run-around. or they don't even know the answers to your questions. a lady who works there once told me "People are not going to tell you everything. That's your job to ask them questions." She pissed me off because that was what I was doing and she was acting like an ass. Half the time one person will tell you one thing, and another will tell you something different. Most students get really upset by this and are left not knowing what to do. Some professors don't really care and are really rude and disrespectful.. others bitter...You DO get those professors who are really nice and helpful, but you have to be either lucky getting them or go on www.ratemyprofessor.com..The reviews there can be helpful. The student are ok. A lot of them still act like they are still in high school and can be really annoying. The Main building is much louder..I find that most people like the Murray building..it's cleaner and its quiet.
