Visited the stadium. Some clear renovations. Excellent experience.

Inconsiderate college. They have courses listed for students to sign up only for them to get cancelled shortly after. They claim low enrollment but the classes that are available are filled to capacity. There are 100 students in one of classes with no online option! They do not care of the risk COVID. Professors dont even answer their emails when you ask them about available classes they are teaching. Go to CSUB and stop wasting your time with these chumps!

Great school to build a foundation to earn your associates. Transfer that knowledge to other schools and go after bigger universities. This school has been around for over 100 years. Back in 2005 when it was younger 18 in went here but dropped out in spring 2006 and went towards another school.So 16 years later I am here pursuing my ASL degree. I already have my advanced degrees in data science and software engineering. I am taking it more seriously than I did whin I was younger.I look forward to mastering ASL and transgering that to my son.

Great stadium Bakersfield need to support the Renegades.

BC Has a great Daycare/SchoolMy child loves going to school. Everyone is very helpful and hands-on with Education.

The college that’s the heart of the region, powering its intellectual and economic growth.

Ive heard that its a good place to start at, thats it. Trying to get ahold of ANYONE in charge there is a lost cause. Trying to report baseballs hitting our cars in the neighborhood from their baseball practice, reporting student cars parked in front of my driveway, and now trying to get anything done about the excessively loud music played while their baseball practice is going on....no one responds. The neighbors and I can hear the music from six houses down across the street....and from inside our homes!!! Their coaches clearly are not concerned about teaching any moral values or respect.

Its a nice clean school. I was enrolled to go 2 yes ago

Sorry, did not got to or attend bakersfield College. I do see signs to show where it is. Good luck to all the students

Simply another community college, cheaper but offers less.

Ive been trying to get my non resident issue fixed for over a month now. The guy I having been trying to get in contact with to fix the matter has flaked on me twice now. This is rediculous. The problem should have been fixed a long time ago. The system wouldnt let me register for the class because I wouldnt pay the non resident fee, and Im not going to pay it because Im not a non resident. The semester is almost over with, and I feel that this is all just been a waste of time. I have called the presidents number at both Cerro Coso and Bakersfield College expressing how unhappy I am with the service, and I am done. Im not paying anything. The college owes it to me since the people who work there cant follow through with their actions. The way Ive been disrespected is very unprofessional.

If you are looking to return to school, or just starting out on furthering your education then Bakersfield College is the place to start. They offer in person, online, or a little of both to fit your schedule. Bakersfield College is filled with people who are ready and willing to help you achieve your educational goals, and have campuses throughout Kern County. Parking is a little difficult at times, which is one of the few things I would change.

Went to the Air Force concert. The music was awesome.

Staff is nice and so are the people 👍

Great Football game

Its a great place to start and go to school. There are great professors and my respect with their programs.

Its a good college and my son graduated high school from here

Good school

Good school

Im at Bakersfield College Public Safety Department as a student cadet and I like it..

Lots of walking lol

The professors are great! In all the classes I have taken here, I have only had one bad experience with a professor. The others have been approachable and really try and help you succeed. The main girl (Alana?) at the math hub is extremely great at math and never makes me feel dumb for asking a certain question. However the school itself needs to fix numerous issues. The parking is horrible, the school itself is overpopulated and it does not make sense since considering they have limited classes for most of the classes that are needed for you to transfer. The internet is slow, and they never have enough cashiers to ring you up at the student store(I have waited an hour and forty-five minutes to buy a lab manual). The counselors are the worst aspect about this school. They continuously advise students to take classes they do not need for their major. I last saw the counselor Pearl and she was so rude and seemed she hated being a counselor. Please do all students a favor and hire counselors that care about a students academic goal.

My classes start in Fall. But, this is the only College within 50 mi from where I live that offers the course I need (CNC/machining).

Great educators! Wonderful environment I never had an issue everyone was always helpful. BPD even go around and leave you notes on your vehicle if you left your car unlocked or if you left valuables visible they work great with the public safety department and make the entire campus welcoming.

For the price the education here us a good deal

This place has been good to me. Probably better than I deserve. Ive never felt threatened or uncomfortable here. Its a clean, calm, loving place of education.

Amazing environment, very helpful administration, and experienced professors. I’m learning almost more than my four year university studying under a former CPA, former lawyer, and former CEO. And the vector art class I’m taking is better than any class I’ve taken as a minor at my old university. I should have went here first! Absolutely love it!

Looking back, I realize that BC is one of the best Community Colleges in CA. Yes, its imperfect. But there is opportunity here for those who arent quite sure what path they want to follow. I was the first in my family to ever attend college. I wasnt ready, but BC allowed me to learn how to study, to prepare for the rigors of four-year college. Most of the classes I took here transferred to the Univ. of CA, where I finished my B.S. in 5.5 years total. After that, I earned my doctorate from the Univ. of Arizona and did cancer research. My point is: its okay to start small, because its where your journey takes you that really matters.

This school wants you to succeed. Professors and staff are always helpful, no matter how tough it is. The Grace Van Dyke Bird Library is a blessing.

Great 1st day on campus

Great Community College for a great value. Do well here as a student and one can transfer to just about anywhere in the country. BC does have an academic standard, as they should, so be prepared to show up to class and work. That is a good thing.

Good college. Good surroundings near bakersfield college for an example, students can drive to east malls hills for shopping and/or restaurants. Also good professional are who bakersfiled college choose. Best service for deaf students.

Ive had a great experience at BC. You can only fail if you dont help yourself. Professors have been great. Yes staff is stressed usually but that is because of the high volume of students. If you want to succeed you will. If you fail thats your own damn fault.

Dont waste your time and money here

Great place of learning

Great College!!! I had fun going here!

This would be my second year at BC and the first year was okay. The staff wasnt the nicest but i got by. The second year has been nothing but trouble. The counselors arent helpful and Im 5 weeks into the semester and they have yet to give me my financial aid. Ive called left emails gone in and they keep telling me that I need to wait because they fell behind. Why should I have to wait because you cant figure it out? Financial aid is supposed to help us pay for these expensive books and movies and online websites that you make us pay for. How does that help when the money wont come until the end of the semester? The financial aid staff was nothing but rude and did not try to even help me understand and then got angry with me when I showed distress. Overall not happy. This isnt the college for you if you are counting on receiving financial aid.

Staff Is bias and unwilling to assist students beyond their job discrimination, if that.

I actually was in attendance the night Memorial Stadium opened in 1954. People werent used to traffic conditions and many ended up being late not having timed it properly. The Gades used to play their games at Griffith Stadium and I saw a Potato Bowl game there in 1953 against Compton College. I havent been there in over 25 years but the games were always sold out during the years I lived in Bakersfield . It was a bit sad for me when I had the chance to go to game in 1987 and the attendance was very low. I only attended for a semester in the mid-sixties but it was pretty good at that time.

The campus is too big, classes too big, teachers are lazy, counselors dont know what theyre doing, and this place is a black hole. You start but never finish. I transferred to Taft College and had a much better experience.

Its really big for a community college

My jr college years were great. Quality education is one of the best in California.You can see a lot of structure improvements throughout the campus.Make parking accesible to everyone.

Good starter school. Counselors suck because they fired the good ones. Get the basics down dont bother with counselors unless you have no clue

Its my first and only college so far but this place has been great. I am one class away from graduating and could not have done it if not for the amazing scholarship and financial aid opportunities provided through FASFA, the college, and local sponsors. The professors are great for the most part and the online class options work wonderfully around my hectic work schedule. The campus is very large and parking can mean a long walk. Only concern is safety due to the surrounding areas and increased crime in our city, but the school promptly notifies students by email of local reported incidents on and off campus to keep you informed. Im so glad I chose this school as my first college. Thank you BC!

So far the instructors i have had are great but the damn school itself sucks ass milking students for their damn money! Great example that i just noticed today all along the side of the campus by the bluffs it was okay to park there during the spring semester now im not sure if the city had the NO PARKING ANYTIME signs put up or the school had it put up and even if the city did put them up its completely rude that the school didnt try to fight to leave that parking area available for students that cannot afford the schools super OVERPRICED parking permits for a community college especially right here in bakersfield! I have been buying the parking permits because i can afford it but it makes me mad that students are almost being forced to buy the damn parking permit or park a mile away and even then still have the residents around the school make complaints about students parking there.

Qvo 🍀😎🌹 Nice Campus never went to collage No Need but im Around Friendly Watch Dog

B.C. is a great college, I went there 12 years ago. Best 18 week course ever I learned a lot.

Someone hit my wifes car while she was in class and Bakersfield College wont do anything...It does not cost much money for cameras and i think its just ridiculous.

I spent 2 years in Bakersfield College. Very friendly environment, everyone is there to help yo: faculty, students, etc.. Id recommend you this college.

Bakersfield College needs new counselors. The counselor that help sign me up for classes last semester pushed too many credits on me, 15 credits. The semester turned into a disaster. The counselors here are not helpful. Most of these counselors need to retire because they dont care about their jobs and it shows

Just like Harvard on the hill, Bakersfield College, has the education you want. Also, the instructors and staff are always there to help students succeed... There is an up hill climb, however, once you make it to the top, its all down hill from there. Excellent College...

Terrible experience from before I even enrolled. Expect to get half-assed help from fellow student workers . Expect to get a cold and douche bag response from Nicky Damania when handling serious issues. I especially loved my professors getting mixed up about textbooks and getting accidentally dropped from one of my classes! There is no organization in this college! Counselors will sign you up for classes you may not even need for a major that may not even be yours. All around mess. EOPS is a god damn joke. Money money Money!!

The student population is overwhelming but in the past year instruction has become much better and efficient.

Lots of construction be however I notice its improving on the over all. Maps need to be updated not very clear to read.

Great place to start your education. This college allows you to start your college education and work toward a transferable degree.

Excellent institution with many great opportunities for individuals to get ahead academically and get involved communally

So unbelievably dissatisfied with the customer service of this school. If they had the a ability BC would let you drown intentionally. They are not here to help you at all. Their online system doesnt always work, and when you call to get help with something, no matter what department you call NO ONE ANSWERS. And if they do answer, they dont know how to help and transfer you to someone who will not answer their phone. Bottom line, Go to Taft college. I have many friends and my mom who enjoyed thier experience with Taft.

Financial Aid office often cause a lot of trouble and hardly help resolve it. Couple of rude students and theres always car break-ins, drunks in the library, and creeps walking up to students. **I once faced a student who wanted to offer me a job and he wouldnt tell me any details about it but he really wanted me to meet him downtown so that he could interview me. I declined his offer from how sketchy it sounded.** Theres often annoying people on campus asking you to sign petitions and will harass you about it. The supplies in the book store are doubled the cost than what you find at Walmart but only go there for scantrons and bluebooks. The only plus side about this school is the professors. There are some professors that care enough about your wellbeing.

Good staff , fun event .

One of the good community colleges.

The teachers here are the best. the industrial tech education is great.

This place is hell. Youre stuck in a room with 55 students and the class only can hold 35 people. Which youll be standing or sitting on somebody lap. The teachers dont care if you pass our not. I dont like This experience at all. Then good percent of students who you get partner up with most likely tell you they have a bf or gf. Which how the hell are you suppose to do a group project when no one want to give you there number to do the damn groups project. I ended up doing the project alone and the rest of them got and A. Thank to me. Never ever want to be at this school.

The campus is quite nice and large. the issue I have here is the service to students. There is an obvious lack of attention to service to students over the phone, even during non school hours when there is availiable staff that hardly have any students coming in for questions. Even in other campuses that I have went to the service was much better. If youre trying to.get help from genuine staff that care to help students this isnt the place, they are flawed immensely to providing you much help at your convenience. Either get more staff Bakersfield College or make some major changes in how you provide your service, because what you are doing isnt working!

Because my mom go to classes there and works there she works in the preschool my mom loved that place so much lol😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😹😻😻😻😻😻😻

Great value and great people. The professors care, want their students to succeed, and do what they can to improve the education of the Bakersfield population.

Why the hell is the enrollment fee so expensive. I just reg for two classes & its $295? When I reg for one class it was $155, and now its $295 I dont understand why its so much because other colleges dont charge you THAT much just to enroll in a class. This is stupid.

Should offer a bigger communication department.

The BAKERSFIELD college looks so big, the couselors looks they dont really taking care of it I took world of music class I got droped I was not able to pass it looks kind difficulty but they I had dsps couselor bill hes kind strictly I wish there a truly nice couselor dont really respect II feel like didnt want to see couselor. I like TC better because they have more help. And what a waste money there of tuition and unable to qualify for Financial Aid by Satisfactory Academic Progress.

Good way to get your generals out of the way with out having to pay to much

Great staff and flexible class schedules

Worst school EVER!!!!!!! I graduated from here with a 2.78 GPA and I had the worst experience here. This school has a mess of problems ranging from incompetent staff, professors with an agenda pushing propaganda, failure to process materials by state deadlines, horrible construction practices leading to numerous detours. Please by all means avoid this school like the plague that it is. This school should be shut down.....it deserves to be.

Its an amazing school but there is still alot of contradictory people there that dont accept the new

Best place to get an education.

The only reason I gave this one star is because zero isnt an option. I cant believe the amount of incompetency and absolute uselessness, not to mention indifference, that I was met with first time Ive ever interacted with this school. Dont let the four or five star reviews fool you. This school is out for one reason and one reason only: to make as much money as possible at the expense of those that have no other choice. While this may not encompass all of BCs teaching staff, who are unfortunately brought down by the greedy administration, it does reflect your future experience if you are unfortunately enrolled in any classes here. For some, Bakersfield College is their only option given their circumstances. The administration feeds off of this. I am lucky enough that I have a choice, and I will most definitely not waste it on a school that could not care less about the well-being or future of their students.

What can i say, i send my daughter here and sometimes she says classes are too crowded

The On Campus Daycare is amazing!!!

Amazing, especially for a community college.

Great college with great teachers

My swim team is the best!! Bakersfield Aquatics Club for LIFE!!!

Overattended college. Parking lot is overfilled. Not enough people to service students.

395-4351 IS NOT THE CORRECT NUMBER FOR BAKERSFIELD COLLEGE! THE MAIN LINE IS 395-4011 !!!!

If you could sit there and choose to go back to school I would recommend to come here

Most affordable education

Needs more parking

Happening

Its Bakersfield... What did you expect?

If you dont live in Bakersfield good luck getting a hold of the staff via phone

Goooo!!!!!! Road Runners 💙💜❤💚💛

Worst internet

NEVER GO HERE

Overcrowded and parking is your worst nightmare even being 30 minutes early for class, people who answer phones in counseling centers are rude Id rather not go see a counselor

I kept getting the runaround, hate this school 😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠

Parking is a pain
