Alaina - 12/20/2023

Overall it's a good school to go to. I would recommend it, especially for those who are high school seniors and want to do 2 years at community college before transferring to a university. They offer a wide array of programs and classes to appeal to different interests and they're all taught by instructors who are actually invested in the academic future of their students.

hallie - 04/13/2023

Baton Rouge Community College truly is an amazing college. From the students to the staff, I have enjoyed every semester I have attended at this school. The teachers are kind and willing to help you in any way they possibly can. The facilities are up to date and awesome. I really love the classrooms here and the labs! A also really enjoy studying at the library; it is gorgeous. A few things that I would consider a down side is that there is not much to choose from for breakfast or lunch on or near campus. It can be scary at night on campus but durning the day I always feel extremely safe. There are always police on campus to make sure everything is safe, this adds that feeling of security for if you are going on campus. There are also several phones on campus you can use for emergencies which is great as well. Overall, I love going to school here and I have had an amazing educational experience so far!

Malayzhia - 12/20/2022

I like BRCC, I transferred from my 4 year University to here and I don’t regret it not one bit. The professors care about your education. Student Body Government is great. The only thing I do regret is not attending a Community College first then because I’ve learned so much within the short time span I attended here.

Breeahna - 12/13/2022

BRCC is an affordable way to get college credit before transferring to a university. They have no housing options or opportunities, but there is food served in the cafeteria, professors have office hours, and the library has long hours to make studying possible. They will regularly switch classes around for your schedule and make the dates and dues very clear. The surrounding neighborhood is terrible and I don't suggest walking around here unless it's to class. People will go out of their way to help you understand the coursework and you'll regularly find yourself organizing study groups with people that were strangers just hours before, but learning on one another is how you'll succeed. Certainly worth it to attend and get all of your general study courses or if the way for an affordable price before finding an overpriced university to graduate from.
