Bergen Community College

School has lot of potential, highly committed and motivated instructors, but is riddled with administrative bloat. The cancerous administration fails to efficiently facilitate even the most basic student services.

Don't listen to anyone who has anything positive to say about this place. Number 1 in NJ for AS degrees is a load of bologne. You get what you pay for: dirt cheap education. The school is poorly organized and does not look in the students interests but rather their interests looking to run you through the system as fast as possible to get graduation rates up. The school hires professors from outside 4 year schools and can't establish themselves there because the school its self is poorly run. 1 in 4 students gets the AS degree. There are BS courses the school will force you to take due to "government experiments" such as supplement classes and Success 101 because comunity college students across the nation don't graduate and thus the government is trying to step in by giving grants for these experimental classes. 98% of students who attend are lazy, don't do any work, disrupt learning environment with their overall behavior and have ZERO ambition to learn anything and professors have to focus on discipline rather than teaching. Unless you get a professor with a rating of 4.0 (they have been teaching there for over 7 years and know what they are doing) and above expect problems left and right with professor's who teach nothing and look to try to teach students personal life lessons, complicate how it's going to be at the 4 years schools rather than presenting the material giving the test and progressing students forward. You can attend class, take notes, do readings and be a coordinate students and you still will fail because these crap professors don't give reasonable exams. My strong suggestion pay the extra money and commute to Ramapo or Montclair those are your best bets if your a commuter. In general that's community college expect to get ripped off for your money and credits if and when you transfer to a 4 year school. GO DIRECTLY TO A 4 YEAR SCHOOL!

Excited to participate with STEM, aircraft manufacturing has always been a dream of mine. Less then a year ago, I had no idea how to begin.

this college is the BEST!!!! Everything you need in a college. It's easy, convenient, and yeah really easy!!!

Easy registration & easy classes. It's good for a community college but at almost $5000 a semester, you might as well go to a four year university. The traffic off Route 17 is horrible, and overall Bergen County and Paramus traffic is horrendous. If you live out-of-county, go to your in-county school because you'll save so much money and community college is literally exactly the same everywhere. Bergen does has some good programs for medical but other than that, if you're just getting your gen eds, go anywhere else. Hudson County's out-of-county's tuition is cheaper than Bergen's in-county. The only plus to Bergen is that there's parking. Go somewhere else.
