申请点评
- Academic Experience: The professors are nice, the curriculum is challenging enough that you'll actually learn something, but not so hard that you'll be swamped. Class registration is a piece of cake. That's pretty much it.
- Overall Experience: Bucks is a great school for people who want to save money before they transfer to a four-year college. The professors are great, and the school really understands that your goal is to transfer. It's not really a place that you make a lifelong connection to, but it certainly dispels the stereotype of community college being only for kids who aren't smart enough to get into a four-year school.
- Campus Resources: There are plenty of activities on campus if you look around - though participation isn't usually that high. The campus is really nice, and there are a few places to sit and study, mainly during the evenings. Don't expect to get a lot of studying done during the lunch hour though, the campus is PACKED then, and finding a quiet place is impossible at best.
- Student Body: It's a community college. Most of the students are here for an education and that's it. Don't expect to make a lot of lifelong friends here, though you may make a few-semester long friends in your classes. *(3)
