Ryan - 01/22/2024

My opinion of Broward College is overall a positive one. If you don't want to dive into a college debts and just want an education at an affordable price, then this is the place to go. The campuses are pretty spread out but each offer advisors and staff to help and answer any questions you may have. My only concern is the availability of some classes. The classes tend to be limited and others are stacked on each other meaning that I can only take this class or that one, I can't choose both. Regardless, I would still recommend this college for someone who is not sure what they want to do as a career.

Suzana - 08/23/2023

Broward College is good. You can find almost any class you need to take for your degree or for a future program that you are interested in taking. The professors respond relatively quickly from my experience. There are some hiccups with the system, but once you speak to someone, it can be resolved.

Arshee - 04/10/2023

Broward College feels like my second home. It's a lively place with excellent professors and campus activities. There is always something going on, whether it is a campus event, a club activity, or a career workshop. There are helpful resources all over campus and you can never get lost with the friendly people and faculty.

Victoria - 01/01/2023

Its a very small school with little to no campus activities. The few activities that do occur are very small and little to no students show up. Its very difficult to make friends because most people already have their friend groups established. It is not a very lively school if youre going simply to learn than this is a good school. I have had an incident where a professor was unprofessional.

    Broward College has been a sort of haven for me since I've began attending. The atmosphere is very friendly and the professors are very knowledgeble in their respective fields. The school is located close to my home so commuting is very conveniant for me. However the one stand out quality of Broward College is the prices to attend are naturally much lower then that of state universities. Academically I excel because school is my my number one priority, however financially, I am not where I'd like to be. I intend to change that through higher learning at BC.

In due time, I plan to recieve a Master's Degree from a state university, not at BC.
