Natalie - 09/11/2024

It's not the best but it's also not awful. In my experience its hard-to-find professors that are actually helpful and care. Some keep regular office hours and others don't. It is also difficult to get in touch with some advisors let alone get a meeting with them.

Saige - 03/06/2024

i think it is a great school to be in, a lot of new fun ways to get involved and not feel left out. i really like the sports they are super fun and a good way to hang with your class mates. i haven't yet been in the classroom but i have been around practicing for wrestling and i already feel super welcomed and present

McKinley - 04/25/2020

Big Bend Community College is a good school for local kids wanting to stay local for a few more years and ease into the college experience. In my opinion I would not go to Big Bend if I lived more than a few hours away. I am at Big Bend to compete my Associate's Degree while I am still in high school. I enjoy school and feel really safe. I like the class sizes because it is a lot like my high school experience. There are two main degrees at Big Bend, Nursing and Aviation, and they are both wonderful programs. In all, I think Big Bend Community College is a great school for locals who want to get ahead in high school or whom want to be a nurse or pilot.

Petr - 02/06/2020

I am going to be graduating Big Bend this upcoming quarter and I have had a blast at this school. The staff is very nice and understanding, and the environment is great for anyone. This is a great school to attend in order to save money. I am doing the running start program and will be graduating with a direct transfer degree in Arts, and Science. The following quarter I will be attending CWU. I highly recommend this school to anyone who is trying to save money.

  2. What should every freshman at your school know before they start?

    If I could go back and tell my high school self some advice about adjusting to college, I think the most important thing I could say is relax. It's not as scary as everyone makes it out to be, and the experience will be different for everyone. You just have to relax and take it one class at a time. Also don't get overwhelmed by the workload, it may seem like a lot at first but it will all turn out okay. Yes you will have to change and learn how to study for these classes differently, but it's the same feeling as going from middle school to high school. While the environment changes, it's still just school. Just think of how many tests and assignments you have done in all your years in school. What's one more?

  4. Here's your chance: Say anything about your college!

    It was an old Army base and is rather uniquely build and set up, it is the event center of the town so there is almost always stuff going on. They have constant lunch fests with different themes and entertainment, and currently we have about 200 soldiers from the air force living on campus.

  5. What kind of person should attend this school?

    The reason i am attending Big Bend Community College is because i am in a dual-credit program called running start. It will allow me to graduate with an Associates degree and pretty much bypass my junior and senior year of high school. So, if you're a smart junior or senior who is planning on having a lot of schooling left, and want to have your first two years of college paid for, you should join this program and go to this school.

  7. Describe the students at your school.

    Being in class this fall quarter made me realize that the classes I was in, are the perfect size, so it leads me to get a better understand meant of all the students in that class. It's easier to get to know the students then being in a classroom that is overcrowded. This fall quarter I got to meet some pretty incridible people that I became friends with. Being around my classmates made me realize that everyone has their backgrounds and their stories to why their attending college.

  9. What's unique about your campus?

    The teachers are great. It seems like every teacher is overqualified to teach there which makes it better for the student who is attending there. They have very unique classes, it's a small rural college, has many clubs, athletics, and activities. I am currently a member of Phi Theta Kappa, so they have the two-year national honor society for community college. All in all, it is a pretty well rounded college.

  10. What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

    I had known what I was getting myself into when I decided to attend Big Bend Community College. Although it was not my first choice, it's the best for the situation I was in. I wanted to work full-time, and be able to afford college by myself. I'm proud that I've worked full-time for two years as an Insurance Agent. I wish I could have told myself not to stress so much about what school I was going to, and that being financially stable is more important than going to a popular school.
