Bethune Cookman University has given me an horrifying experience. I would not suggest my dog to go to such a school. Students were uncivil, the campus was unsanitized, there were molded areas in the dorms and lastly, the professionalism was not conducted properly. Because of this, I transferred to Rutgers University, a better campus and life.

I was honestly let down by the quality of education and the proficiency of my professors and administrators. Maybe my expectations were too high, although I obtained a degree, I feel as if I missed a thorough education. I have experienced embarrising remarks from potential employers regarding the state of BCU as a credible university-Very Let DOWN!

Bethune Cookman is not really the best school out there. The education part is very good, you can get the on on one help that you might need in a certain subject. But the dorms here are terrible. They are too small and dirty, the dorm that I currently stay in has mold. The school is not worth as much as it is.
