Adrian - 07/19/2024

I loved Bunker Hill Community College! I had a fantastic experience with the students who come from very humbling backgrounds. Everyone is there to learn and make friends. The professors provide help and you can actually get to know the person. Learning is made easier because of the smaller class size and resources available such as the provided online and in-person tutoring, math center, and writing space. I also was able to get many internships considering the location of this school is in Boston and next to Cambridge, there are plenty of opportunities. Companies and other universities such as Harvard, Tufts, and Boston University are looking for underrepresented or community college students to have in their labs. Great and amazing experience overall!

Miranda - 03/25/2021

Bunker Hill is a fantastic school. The students and professors are all so kind, and more than willing to lend a hand if you need it. I've never had a "bad" professor or bad class. The educators are all very invested in our learning and you can tell that they just want to see us all succeed.

Maryam - 11/18/2020

The faculty is very helpful. They will try to respond to your concern as soon as possible. The professors are understanding and kind. They will work with you to help you excel. They will also try their best to explain to you. If you want to be in a certain professor's class that is full, email them they will allow you in their class. Don't forget to check the professor review from rate my professor. Also, there a lot of work-study opportunities, and they will easily hire you- just email them.

Mackenzie - 11/11/2020

I think it's a great community college. It's right next to the train station, so it's easy for me to travel there. The facilty that I've interacted with were very friendly and helpful. They guided me to any resources I needed and answered my questions with useful advice. The website was my first impression of the school. The layout seemed a little overwhelming at first glance. Though there's a lot of information on the homepage, everything is organized. You'll be able to find almost everything you need, including contact information if you have more questions. So far, I'm enjoying my classes. They are relevant to my graduation requirements and I'm learning information that is important to my preferred career path.

    I would tell myself to don't go listen to other people about needing to experience college life by going away because that is only a portion of it. Also I would tell myself it would have been okay to take a semester off before attending college. Being that I was Valectdictorian, I was burned out working so hard my four years of high school. It would have been okay if I took a semester off.

  3. What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?

    I believe some of the administrative departments are the worst part of my school. There is not a lot of help guiding you so that you know the appropriate person or department you need to talk to when you are trying to solve an issue. Response time to emails and voice messages is very slow and frustrating.

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

    Bunker Hill personfies the word unique. The staff, resources, and student organizations all make this institution an amazing stepping stone for students who want to transfer to four year institutions. When i first began attending Bunker Hill I was nervous. I felt as though people would judge me for going to school there. Upon walking into the doors that fear and angst shed away as I was greeted instantly and treated with respect and genuine sincerity. I have never felt that same welcoming feeling at any other educational institution.
