Their marketing and DECA program is probably the best I have ever taken. This is coming from someone also familiar with the marketing program at UW. BC is hands down more beneficial if this is the field you desire to make your career.

Bellevue is great. Almost every staff member, Professor, Advisor, Financial Aid, Program Heads. They are responsive and attentive to the students. You may get tired of all the emails, Campus Alerts etc. but to be honest I would really miss them if they stopped. Plenty of resources, professors want to help you succeed!

I fell in love with this school when I stepped on this campus. I have been here almost two years. I have had a great time studying here. Many clubs and on campus positions that you can earn much money. The downside is this campus is dead after around 2 p.m. Not much social if you do not really engage with school activities (events free food).

One of the worst community colleges in the state.

The college has a strange atmosphere that even my 8 year old daughter noticed. The physics curriculum has a skewed idea of how to approach labs. There are hardly any drinking fountains. The food is terrible and over priced, if you shop around campus the prices for the same item will vary. It seems like inconsistency is a theme here.

Most of my professors over the two years I have gone to bc show little care for their career. Often misspelling on assignments, confusing sometimes contradictory directions are given. Teachers know their subject however they don't know how to teach it. Social life is nonexistence at bc. Everybody is cold and already has their friends in classes.
