I was in the nursing program and it was so unorganized and horrible. They refused to help me with anything and there was no sort of communication. So good luck future students

This college was better when it was BCC. Now, it takes you longer to graduate because classes are not offered, teachers are not as interested in students learning and support is non-existent. You will save money on a low tuition but waste time waiting for classes that you need.
Overall 1.2
The Professors at this school do not care at all. They are extremely lazy and expect you to teach yourself. They require you to take a bunch of unnecessary classes. It’s all a scam. Please DO NOT consider BC. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!!! This is in regards to the NORTH campus.

I will be leaving as soon as possible. One of the worst colleges, has a lot of incompetent staff and professors.
Overall 1.3
This school is TERRIBLE. EVERYONE that works here will tell you the wrong information. Whether it has to do with programs, financial aid and etc you can count on them telling you the wrong thing. They don't care is one of the biggest issues for me. Its like yeah okay whatever. Do yourself a favor and go ANYWHERE else but here.

They released a controversial politically charged statement stating they stand with Israel, “there is no two sides and no space for debate” They’ve invalidated those who’s families are being slaughtered in Gaza that there is only one side and that they stand with the ones committing genocide. They do not stand with their student body.
Overall 1.7
Please don't go to the nursing school here. Go somewhere else. Administration won't take student concerns into consideration. You are forced to remain at the campus you started even after you reach out regarding problems with professors. You can get in trouble for not feeling well during clinical. It makes no sense.
Overall 1.8
To generally sum it up, Broward College is like a big DMV where everyone acts miserable. Affectionately known as Beer Can College by previous generations, BC is a former community college that people primarily use to get their prerequisite classes done cheap before transferring to FAU. Don't expect to have any fun here, campus life is nonexistent.
Overall 1.9
The nursing program at central campus is unprofessional. You have some professors who are great and actually want to help the students and then others who seem to thrive off the failure of their students. Their peds professor is the worst professor on the planet and at this point they are literally scamming their students out of money.
