My opinion is it’s a great HBCU School an I love it
My experience at Bethune-Cookman University has by far been one of the best college experiences so far. Everyone from faculty to students are so loving and caring. We always look out for one another through the good and bad. It is so many opportunities to branch out and learn new things, meet people and learn more stuff about yourself that you probably didn't even know you had in you. I LOVE MY HBCU!!!
A big scam. You pay so much for poor quality everything. They will mess up your finances, you need to keep an eye out for some random charges to your account because that's a regular occurrence here. You may end up paying $6000 for something you didn't sign up for at all like some camping trip. And the refund process takes forever, at least 2 months til you get your money back. The parking lots need extreme update, the paint on the ground are all faded out so you can't read what it supposed to say, if you park in the wrong place they will toll your car and you will have to pay to get it back, even when you couldn't read their painted signs on the ground. The labs equipments are falling apart, rusty, and old. Very disappointing. The classrooms are somehow hotter than outside of the building, which was 90° outside. You couldn't breath through your mask because of how hot it is, you will sweat all over the place leaving sweats in your seats. If you pay for your dorms and the pandemic happens to cause you to leave campus, they will not refund you even tho the government paid them to do so. They made you sign a waiver that you don't want your refund. READ THROUGH EVERYTHING YOU SIGN. The students are all childish. They are adults that act like middleschoolers, not adult. The only good thing about this place are the instructors, they are the mvp that keep most students attending the university instead of transferring out. The instructors truly care about your futures, will provide you with everything that might help you such as extra lessons, internship opportunities, and willingness to teach in a way that you will understand. Tl;Dr The buildings and equipments are too old and in need of updating. The school is always out to get your money. The instructors cares about you and is the mvp of this place.
Bethune-Cookman University is a grand experience that all students will cherish after graduating. Life may not seem easy on campus at first, though each moment at B-CU is a chance to learn something new! Bethune-Cookman University is one of the best!
The fall 2020 acceptance rate for Bethune-Cookman University is 100%. That means, out of _____ applications received in 2020 , _____ students were offered admission. The number of males who applied was _____ vs the number of females which was _____.
The best advice I could give to myself, or anyone for that matter, would be to continue in school and just go for it! Don’t give up on your dreams, no matter what life throws at you. It is not the end of the world, and going back to get your education 15 years after high school is more challenging than you could ever imagine. Live your life to the fullest while you are young! Get the full college experience; meet new people, experience different cultures. Once you have children of your own, your life changes and the focus will be on them and not you.
It was founded by the late, Mary McLeod Bethune.
My school is a Historically Black University. We were founded by the late great Dr. Mary McLeoud Bethune. We have only had one other female president since Dr. Bethune. My school started out with seven little girls and was built upon a garbage dump, and just recently have we reached University status. My great school has come along way.
I wish I would have known more of the scholarships that the school has to offer.
This school is a school that anybody can attend.
Very fun and smart
The organiation is very poor. There could be better faculty/staff support outside of the classroom also.
I would not recommend this school to anyone who does not like to follow rules.
The down south hospitality
I brag about the classroom sizes; meaning that our class are not over crowed with students and there is an postive learning at my college.
the most frustrating thing about my school is having to do run-arounds, they tell you one thing and someone else tell you different. Another thing is how expensive school is.
The band!
