This is a small town community college. There are so many programs to choose from, and there is an open environment for everyone. The environment is caring and safe for everyone. This college is a great place to start either from high school, or just starting after years off. It is a great place to start!

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

    I?m 24 years old now. I dropped out of school after the 1st semester of college. The first thing I would absolutely have to tell high school senor self is, don't major in Biology. It?s too hard and you'll flunk out of college would tell myself "You know what your passion is and has been since you was 6 years old, playing school with you stuffed animals. Fran, major in elementary education and be a teacher.? As for college life, I would have to tell myself to spend less time at BCM and a lot less time socializing with your friends. Studying should be my main priority and that is what my time should be spent on. BCM is still important. You do need to have a little down time, but not all the time. I'd also remind myself that I have chosen to room with one of my good friends which means, I really need to work on compromising with her. I?d tell myself that college is fun, but you?re going to learn and better yourself. You have a choir scholarship and it?s not that hard to blow it.

  12. What's the most frustrating thing about your school?

    It's hard for me to find anything frustrating to say about the school or the program I was enrolled in. However as strange as it may sound I found the weather in Sioux City to be the only major thing I found frustrating. Never lived in below zero weather. Fortunatly I had made friends who were used to it and they helped me become more able to deal with it.
