This is a nice school to help you get into a secondary school. This is cheap so it will help save you money. Alot of the credits transfer to another school!

I applied to BC3 in 2008 for their 2009 nursing program and I was taking pre-nursing classes during the Fall of 2008. I had to take some classes such as chemistry and biology because it had been over four years since I took them in high school. In order to take the chemistry class, I had to take at least pre-algebra alongside chemistry. I was told that if I maintained at least a 2.5 GPA and had at least 12 credits, that I would be eligible for acceptance into the 2009 nursing program. I finished my Fall semester with a 4.0 GPA at all of my BC3 classes (chemistry, pre-algebra, and general psychology) and a 3.8 in the anatomy class I was taking at Penn State (I transferred this grade to BC3). My grades were outstanding and I was a dedicated student, yet I was DECLINED from the nursing program because I was told that my pre-algebra class DID NOT count as a credit course toward my GPA - which was a direct contradiction to what the DEAN OF NURSING told me in August 2008. The Dean of Nursing herself told me that I could take these classes and establish a new GPA with them and that everything would be fine.

To sum it up, I was given false information by the staff which caused me to waste my time and money on this joke of a school. I would not recommend BC3 to any student who is serious about their education.

I went here based on the what I had heard about how much it would help me out in the future in getting a great career. I don't feel that I will be offering much more to a company then I would have if I would have just graduated from high school. I would have been better off going to a tech school, the military or a major university, this school doesn't offer you much as for your educational value, nor does the surrounding area, it is a very lame area and school. You will be better off not going here.

Butler County Community College, although hyped up as one of the premiere community college's in the state is one of the most awful educations I have ever received. I went there for 3 years, bouncing back between major after major, because not one professor could make me interested in anything I wanted to do.
I finally buckeled down and finished a degree in networking and PC management. According to BC3 after i graduated with my Associates in Applied Science degree, I should have been getting job offer after job offer....well...I looked at many jobs in the field i was "educated" for and to my suprise, I was so undereducated I felt like I had just wasted 3 years of my life. Bc3 does not offer an Education in computers that you need to succeed. One of the professors i had spent the first week, two semesters in a row (different classes) explaining to us what a mouse was.

Job placement is awful, great guidance, horrible execution, they have a rating of 95% job placement....what they don't tell you is that probably 35% of those 95% of jobs were related to the field you graduated in. I, unfortunately was offered a job in the local steel mill as a floor worker. But fortunately I got a job at the local cable company answering technical support calls for $10 an hour.

The financial aid, is bad too, in the middle of my education, the financial aid office switched my loan companies and now i have to pay two loan payments a month.

If you want to get a Bc3 education, burn you money, it's about the same equivalent. Or, just buy some of those "Dummie's" books, you'll learn more.
