Statistical Analyzer:

I came to BCC after an erratic academic history. I was at a low point when I arrived, but eager to turn things around.

I had few of the experiences described by the other posters. The first counselor I saw steered me into a journalism class, and I have thrived.

The administration is exceptionally open and friendly, and I have spoken many of them. Most of them share a passion for engaging students.

BCC has speakers on campus every almost every day of the academic year. The point is to teach students about larger issues and the world, and to develop leadership skills. This is not lip service but a primary mission of the college.

The college is not snooty. There is a population of rich kids with limited interest in academics here, however. I don't pay much attention to them because they've always dropped out of class by week 4, and because they are far too cool to pay any attention to me.

The important part of the campus is the working poor, the single moms straightening their lives out, the Running Start kids who are so excited and so brilliant, older people who are rebooting their lives, people learning to read, or speak English. For us, this college changes lives.

Almost everyone I've spoken to, from the college president on down (met her my second month here) is passionate about giving people the opportunity to change their lives for the better. It's not just lip service, it's the real deal.

My advice would be to get involved. Take part in class discussions, sit in the front and raise your hand (not in the back listening to your iPod), be uncool enough to care.

Go to the Student Programs office and find someone to talk to (it should only take 15 seconds or so). Join a club and get engaged with the world. Remember, this is real life.

If you are too cool for that, you won't be happy here. Go to Wazzu, you'll love it.

What I did agree with: BCC is as ugly as sin! It's like a cross between an outdoor mall and an artillery bunker!
