I love this college. The location is more of a country feel not city and that is great. Every one is nice, caring, and helpful. My Professors are great. I think this college should become a 4 year college.

It's a very nice school. It keeps you focus a little more because it's a small excluded campus.

Everything the school provide is trash except the professors and the staffs (excluding the cafeteria staffs). The professors, learner mentors and the admission staffs are saving the school from drowning. So glad I transferred as early as I can. I have never eaten food as bad until I got there.

I came to Bland because I didn't get accepted into the school I wanted to go to. I lived on campus and just finished my first year. The school is DEAD!!!! It's located in the middle of nowhere and I was on the verge of tears when I first arrived at Bland. I came from Richmond so I wasn't acquainted to Petersburg.

I would not recommend Bland. Most of the professors are amazing but the lack of organization in regards to the learner mentors is appalling. I have lost money and time because of their inability to perform their jobs correctly.

It is a very small campus. Not a lot to do but sit around. In the middle of no where and only one place on campus to get food and that is the grill and its not the best and not the cheapest. Most of the professors are great though.
