<p>Please let me know more about this college. How's the environment? The study session? How competitive is it?</p>
<p>Please tell me about anything!! Especially for those who attend nursing school. Thanks.</p>
<p>robin williams works there, he has profound conversations with matt damon, and then matt damon has to "go see about a girl"</p>
<p>thats all i know</p>
<p>I don't know much about it, but I live in the same town as one of the campuses (Somerville). It has several campuses, so I bet they're in a wide variety of areas, but the Somerville one is in a moderately seedy area. Community colleges are usually not that competitive - they're supposed to serve the community.</p>
<p>yeah.. and I talked to a few friends and 95% told me not to go there and when I asked them the reasons, all they said were "DUDE!! It's Bunker Hill."
I seriously don't get what they mean.
I am an international student and the cost to study here in the states is really high. So I thought maybe I can take 2 years at a community college then continue to the university of my choice. But it is also necessary for me to get the education that I wanted. I heard community colleges have lower expectation, but what about the quality of the eduction that they offer? specifically Bunker Hill.</p>
<p>As an international you need to understand that the odds will be stacked against you coming from a CC if you hope to transfer to a top school. It can be done, but it's fairly unusual. Many CCs are at the high school level, offering remedial classes to those who didndo well in high school. Few have any real college life and generally standards are relatively low.</p>
<p>Can't help with this particular one as I don't know of it. CCs tend to only be known in a small area around where they are.</p>
<p>When I lived in Somerville, Bunker Hill was the local CC and the general perception was that in an area of many many colleges it would be the last choice. If you do well at a CC you may be able to transfer to the state college or university, but it would never lead to "the university of your choice". If you live in the area already then go to a college that you might want to attend and ask an admission officer for advice. Most good to great colleges in the area will talk to you as a courtesy if you ask.</p>
<p>While you won't get into Harvard, you can get into many top schools as a comm. college transfer with some hard work. You're not regulated to UMass-Boston. Check out the transfers forum.</p>
