20 Best Paramedic Programs In Bronx, NY (2022 Updated)

A good school where you get out what you put in. Many trains stop within walking distance and buses as well. Just like any college, depending on your major, you will find good and bad professors. So always make use of the rate my professor website. I had a very pleasant experience. The administration was more competent than other schools I went to and my issues were always solved within a reasonable amount of time. The facilities I had to use for my major were in even better condition compared to some four year schools. The wifi coverage was good. Plenty of cafeterias with the best one being in the E building. Plenty of food trucks with different types of foods. Lots of seating areas with electrical ports. The class scheduling was workable with enough sections to fit almost everyone. Can't speak for any other major but it felt like that overall. They are always hiring new adjuncts so it's not the same professor teaching that one section you need all the time that everyone says is horrible. Always stay on top of your things if you want to have them resolved quickly. That's the part you play in your college years. The hand holding stops after High School. All I can say is, relax a little and have some fun. At the end of the day grades won't show the strength of your character after all is said and done.Mounia B

It seems like professors like the one I got Professor Arnold who acts likes she is going through the motions and don't there . i felt I waste my time and money which I paid out of pocket in her class and is thinking about leaving the college. She is one of the worst teachers/professors i ever had . I think cause it a community college a lot of them are mad cause they can't teach in a four year college through out of the community colleges in NY LaGuardia is the best . That being said she is the third professors that I had that sleeps walks through their class and I had another one that did something that weren't cool and I didn't show up for her class and never got an apology from her. I say if you over 30 years like me this college is not for you. I never had problems with anything else in the college but the professors cause I expect more and I also think cause the college got a lot of non white american people that they slack a lot and that's sad.clyde sparks,jr

Im currently in my last year at LaGuardia (majoring in business) and i have to say the Business department is full of AMAZING professors. Classes are really easy (most of them except accounting unless you're good at it) and the students are cool. I, personally, never talked to anyone or made any friends because I'm not an outgoing person. The school is constantly going under renovations and they just finished the new library and it looks AMAZING, as if it was a library from an ivy league. Food isn't that great but what do you expect, its school food [not free of course]. For people who are curious about the diversity of this school, these are my personal percentages of what i see; 20% – Asian 20% – African American 30% – Hispanic 30% – White/European Overall, its a good school to just do your 2 years in and get out.Paul The Pigeon

I took Acting & Gymnastics classes growing up as a kid @ KCC; along with taking other performing arts enrichment classes @ Brooklyn College also while growing up, although Brooklyn College wasn't affiliated with my high school like KCC was. KCC has a great campus for a CUNY two-year college (one of the nicest in the CUNY system being right on Manhattan Beach) and is also the partner CUNY institute with my High School alma mater, Edward R. Murrow whom it operates the CollegeNow! program with. I spent my Junior and Senior years at Murrow taking KCC college-level courses taught by both Murrow faculty, and visiting KCC faculty (at Murrow) as well as commuting to the KCC campus from Murrow for additional classes that could only be taught on-site @ the KCC campus. It was EXTREMELY academically enriching to be able to enjoy a college level curriculum whilst still being in High School; and that was due directly to KCC's collaboration with my high school. My GPA went up as a result of the CollegeNow! program during my last two years at Murrow as did my SAT scores. I have KCC to thank for that. 👍👏👏👏👏Ben Schaeffer

Kingsborough CC has a very nice entertainment program, well-run and well-sited, with both indoor and outdoor venues. This year's 4-part post-pandemic return to their July outdoor series has been a real winner for the 3 weeks of it so far, with decent weather enhancing the winning combination. Performers have commented on how well-received they are when they come to perform there, from an enthusiastic staff that really respects their art, to receptive audiences. That reputation has allowed audiences to see a number of top-notch acts more than once there, as the artists appreciate that respectful treatment. There have been other events there, all of which were interrupted by COVID since it came around, so there will be needed time to get those back on track. There are cautionary protocols in place even now: those attending must provide proof of vaccination, with masks optional. Not sure of masking will or will not be required once the indoor events resume, but it certainly appears that the staff has kept up-to-date with everything necessary.N H Tanner

Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Donna Marjorie Donzella. I was a student at Kingsborough Community College in the fall of 1992. I was in the pre-nursing program. On November 3, 1992 I suffered a terrible fall that left me in a coma. I was in a coma for five days… Glad I survived and since then have published two books.Donna Donzella

I really can’t explain what I went through with the staff, so unprofessional and the attitude is horrible I always try to be as nice as possible but the way they treat people is awful. They literally screamed at my mom who does not speak any English for not having her vaccine card with her although she had picture of the vaccine but her phone was dead they yelled at her and did not try to help her enter the building at all. Once I came and approach them they was talking to me with awful attitude and yelling at me!!!!! although I respect the policy but they always could help in situation like this making everything 10X harder and unprofessional behaviour. Please Lehman collage train your employees and staff it’s just seem that they was not train at Enough to deal with people!!A

One of its kinda school Historic place as it is more than 100 year old school CUNY’S most iconic campus so far As building is quite old, construction is going on still it’s worth taking a walk here Lush green gardens and beautiful library plus awesome walkways and old concert hall and other buildings. Library staff is too friendly and easy going and so is the library too They have open tables with solar panels which is awesome Lots of environmental hazards are there which can be dangerous. Work need to be done on that for sure else it can have some dangerous results Overall a good place to come and seatTaksh Shah

Lehman College is a 4 year college. Offering over 50 majors in Biology, Accounting, Environmental Science, Journalism and more. Affordable tuition and an amazingly beautiful scenic campus. Staff is professional. For information regarding Financial Aid, Deadlines and General information contact college or visit their website. Located near public transportation.Natasha M Jordan

If I could, I would easily give York a ZERO RATING! NOTHING against the professors I’ve come across, but the school, policy and registrar/bursar staff and policy are ridiculous. I have been charged, during the pandemic I might add FULL. I clearly withdrew from summer classes and was literally ONE day passed the 100% refund date. After, I spoke continuously with bursar who kept sending me back to registrar. ALL professors assisted in submitting documentation showing I DID NOT CONTINUE in the ONLINE courses. Although I submitted required, and accurate paperwork documenting the WHY I could not complete the summer session, this greedy school is charging me ONE HUNDRED PERCENT for courses that their own records reflect that u withdrew from. Again, let me reiterate this was at the time of a Pandemic. I am now not able to register or do anything until this balance is paid. I think this school is deplorable, too much of the staff is unprofessional and not helpful At all! They’re dismissive and there is never any considerations or flexibility offered. It’s so much more-For the upcoming college youth- there are many schools to choose from within the CUNY system- I would advise, save yourself possible headaches and anguish and choose Somewhere else to attend!Bridget Cros

If you can, avoid this school. Majority of the staff are unprofessional, lazy and do not seem to take their job seriously. Imagine emailing your professor and days, or even up to week plus passes by with no response. Some professors to avoid, Darrell Morris- extremely unprofessional acts as if he's paying us to be there and not the other way around. Does not actually teach anything, except the one time he was being evaluated. Does not respond to emails. Never comes on camera. Samuel Olagun- jeez where do I begin. Just do not take him. Arrogant, condescending, rude, unresponsive. Evan Owens- spent most of the semester focused on his graduate work than our class. Gave the same grade to everyone in our group project even though 2 people did no work. They earned a free A. Overall the school is a nightmare and I am so happy that I have never had to step foot on this campus. They act like they are doing you a favor instead of their jobs. There's a few decent professors like Professor Presier, but they are few and far in between. Believe what you hear and come across about this school and the staff.Crystal H

Lovely campus and easily seen from the street. The school is close to public transportation. The campus houses a high school and an elementary school. The grounds can use some work and some more public art installations. The cemetery is gated but plenty of history ardorns the head stones. The indoor exhibit of The Tuskegee Airmen is worth visiting the campus. The stundent art galley is the best. Ask security for accessibility for people with disabilities. Security at the gate will ask of I. D. He is very pleasant and awesome with directions. Most staff/faculty are helpful too. Better to get assistance from the more experienced staff. They are quite knowledgeable. The food is pricey for college life, but the chicken Marsalis, peas & rice, Mac & cheese and green beans with show string beans cut carrots was a tasty pleasant delight. The logistics of the buildings are identified in letter quadrants to help navigate your way through the buildings. For example 1B 106 would be on the 1st floor in the "B" section. The Art department is quite amazing.MsLisaLive NYC Local Guide

The college has won multiple awards from the CUNY system as well as other institutions for its ability to grant Associate's Degrees at an impressive rate and to foster continuing education at senior colleges. With a respectable teacher-to-student ratio, significant public and private funding, and a central location in New York City, the learning experience has been covered by many publications and studied by experts. However, BMCC also suffers from a large rise in remedial education, lack of freshman retention, and overcrowding. Due to its larger base of capital compared to most other two-year colleges, expansion of new campuses during the rebuilding of Fiterman Hall was possible. Several trailers are still used as classrooms to this day in order to help expand capacity. Internal programs have also been created or expanded to help with academic advisement, provide online access for registration, transferring to other colleges, and job placement. A diverse student base, some of whom had immigrated to America shortly before enrolling, also makes tailoring a viable solution difficult. Improving the retention and graduation rate as well as the increased financial and academic burdens of a remedial program still remain a considerable problem. The Center for Career Development (CCD) provides students with comprehensive career planning services. Its professional career counselors assist students in making informed decisions about an area of study; research occupations that match their personal interests; write a resume; practice interviewing, and help them prepare as candidates for internships and employment. Students also learn to clarify their career goals, develop effective communication and interpersonal skills, conduct job searches, and develop a digital portfolio for employers to view as evidence of their skills, accomplishments and professional qualifications. In addition, CCD partners with New York Needs You, the New York office of America Needs You, to host career-oriented events and seminars to bring industry insights to its students.Nesar Ahmed

edit, update: ended up coming to the conclusion that because all of this uncertanty and my bad living situation I am dropping out, I did all I could, was not met halfway by anone but professors unless I begged here. do not go here if you're poor. Just, no. I can't take it anymore. I've tried to explain my situation to this school multiple times, and I'm left to struggle on my own. I am starving, housing insecure, financially unstable, and unable to make ot to class or properly study because of financial struggle, inability to be alone a place quiet to study because they won't house, and depression. In the end they want to fail you out so you can pay them fees later, I guarantee. I'lll gladly take my review down if it's actually a thing they decide they really want to help me with, only after I have been actually helped, and not as in, money grant to help my situation I never recieve, or new housing program email I apply for and am swiftly rejected because I am not enrolled just enough just yet due to circumstances that are once again not entirely my fault because when I applied here I intended to be taking 16 credits not 7. A joke, an absolute waste of my time and so so much heartache.Jens Åhlund

Very diverse. You can see all kind of people over here. Most of the students and staff are friendly. Environment is good. Friendly neighborhood. If you are hungry, you can find all types of food around the building. It has 26000 student. It also has a big cafeteria, big library, big quiet study place for study and a lot more . All in all this is one of the best college.S M Shuvo

WORST.SCHOOL.EVER!! I hope they close down for good VERY SOON! There's no motivation or inspiration at all in this school whatsoever. The counselors and teachers are horrendous!! For every 5 teachers there, only 1 teacher is decent! They hold back their students far too long from achieving their true potential and don't even get me started on the atrocious time consuming and full of adversity enrollment process!! If you're still stuck taking a remedial/non credit class; instead of being able to register online LIKE IT SHOULD BE FOR EVERY STUDENT, you're instead forced to go all the way to Valhalla to register for classes EVERY semester until you've passed ALL their pointless non credited classes! Very excruciating and appalling for any student! Their counselors are always putting down students, not one can potentially uplift you when it comes to succeeding in school. This school is entirely all a scam. They will give you classes that do not pertain to your major and leave the big fat F on your transcript if you fail it, even if you're a Math and Science student that was given a social worker class that has absolutely nothing to do with your program!!!Toki Sing

Miserable place. Professors don’t care. They have people who don’t speak English teaching the math department. Those in the financial building are miserable, uninformative and rude. Nobody communicates!! Financial Tells you one thing and the counselors say something different. Totally unorganized and made my college experience a miserable one. They prioritize minorities and even questioned me on why I’m not on financial aid. Teachers WILL fail you if you don’t agree with their POLITICAL views. Community college is supposed to be affordable, but they manage to shake you down for every little penny. Save your time and money and go somewhere where they actually CARE about student success.Dev Langer

I was pretty skeptical about going back to school during this plandemic and now that I’m back in school, I wish I would’ve saved my money. The website says lab classes will be conducted online but it’s actually remote. If you want to pay full tuition for a partial education, then this is the place for you. The people who work in the administrative building specifically the Bursar’s office don’t care. The administrative building is physically closed so the only way to communicate is via email. I have been emailing the manager of the Bursar’s office, Marcia, for weeks to no avail. No one cares, they just want your money. A money sucking machine.Schneia Robinson

I do NOT recommend this school! Honestly I was excited to go here and looking forward with completing this course. I went here for the EMT Basic Program. Let us start from the beginning. On the website they have a price of how much you would pay, but when you get there they tell you something completely different. Then they say the offer financial aid for EMT or payment plans, but when I asked to do it they said they don't do financial aid yet it says it online. So I offered to do a payment plan and they said that I couldn't, so I said okay then I won't attend. All of a sudden it's ok we can do a payment plan, that should've been my cue to not attend. Next the clinical person David, is really unpleasant. He talks to you as if you are beneath him, he is just rude. The course is rushed, if you did not go to school before or have a degree like myself, I don't recommend. The pace is too fast and they teaching is all over the place. Third they have this computer course online which is basically the computer reading what's in the textbook out loud. Unfortunately, that is why I failed because I missed two readings that had little quizzes in them. Which made no sense to me because I like to read the book myself than off the computer. Also, because of that they gave make up courses and two exams to take and said if I passed it, they would allow me to pass the class. I PASSES THEM AND THEY STILL SAID THEY COULD HELP. All the want is your moneyyyyyy!Ri. Marie

I should have read ALL of the reviews on this "school." I was really super excited about coming here but they are all about the $$ and don't care about your education. The clinical clearance coordinator, David Izso, is NOT friendly at all. He called me multiple times about a vaccination that I had to wait to get due to doctor appts being booked out and was talking to me if I was a child. Very unprofessional. They terminated me on a Friday, 4 days before the next semester, and a holiday weekend for failing ONE class after allowing me to take a makeup final for another class knowing I was already going to be terminated. They booted me off my portal, I had no access to ANY grades, my agreement signed through the school email, or even access to the other portal where I was messaging my professor. I have friends in nursing SCHOOLS in NYC that are allowed to pay and makeup a class failed after the first time. This school, no. They want me to apply again to just take more money from me. They hounded me everyday to pay my balance but when you want to speak to someone in regards to grades they just send you to voicemail and terminate you. I do not recommend CAHE. Save your $$ and do your research just like most of these reviews say.Brianna Tetefsk

I graduated from the paramedic program yesterday and I wanted to just share some information with anyone reading this. I joined the Full-Time Paramedic program and have had a wonderful experience. The program is rigorous but I found the course load to be very doable. The program leadership (David Skolnick and Joel Abraham) really works with each individual student to ensure they are able to succeed and become competent prehospital providers. They had many opportunities to do clinical rotations at various agencies throughout NYC and upstate NY. About 1 quarter into my program, they updated a lot of their equipment as well. Overall, I am very happy to have been trained by CAHE and highly recommend it to anyone looking to join become an EMT or Paramedic.Shulem Rosenbaum

I found this location for CPR BLS for the Nursing program to be extremely good. It was very easy to find it, and the instructor was there before time opening. She walked me through the cafeteria and after I got a (free) delicious coffee, we proceeded to the lectures. This was my first time obtaining a CPR license . The lectures were very interesting and I was excited to apply to knowledge to the mannequins. After all, i would recommend this to immigrants like me- the process was very clear and i walked out educated on CPR BLS.Milos M

Best ACLS/BLS course I ever took. I needed to schedule a course asap because I had expired on both certifications. Booking through the website was easy. Candice is an amazing instructor. The course was straightforward and to the point. She reviewed the content I struggled with. Candice is very knowledgeable and I will be returning for my recertifications.Emily Dominguez

The facility is conveniently located in a beautiful setting. I enjoyed the hospitality features, such a comfy space to learn in. MY instructor was Everything, patient, informative, direct and a bit funny. She made me feel confident about ever needing to give BLS to anyone. I also enjoyed the dolls. Thanks!BxLori

The instructor was very knowledgeable and professional. Answered all my questions and concerns. Would highly recommend him to my friends. Thank again!!Emelyn Fabian

CPR was very informative. I would recommend this instructor to anyone. I will definitely come back when it’s time for my recertification.T Riley

Timer EMT was a wonderful course ! The professors and instructors are top notch and consider you family once you commit to saving lives as they do. It’s a great learning experience, they encourage you to be the be the best person you can be alongside teaching you integrity, compassion, and hard work. Monte Posner has been doing this for many years and he’s on top of his game and his brilliance is unmatched when it comes to saving lives. I highly recommend you take this course. When you finish, you’ll be an outstanding EMT, you’ll be part of a BIG FAMILY that’ll support you all the way through your EMS career.Marc Palacios

I took my basic level emt class with Monte. I would 100% recommend it to anyone who is interested. I was recommended to give his class a try and feel in love with the career. It’s a great learning experience. Staff is super nice and eager to help. I’ve always felt comfortable in class. If I was struggling in a topic there was hundreds of ways Monte helped. Either setting up time after or before class to go over topics I had issues with, or even set up webinar. The online work is EXTREMELY helpful! Definitely use the online text book !Amber Black

I took this course two years ago and it was honestly the best decision that I’ve ever made. Monte is such an incredible instructor and creates a very comfortable, fun and safe learning environment for everyone. I’ve learned so much from him and all of the other great instructors here. They really go the extra mile to ensure that you’re well prepared to pass the state exam and to work in this field. I’ve had such amazing experience here and I highly recommend this course!siarrah jensen

First I would like to thank all the instructors in Code One for teaching me and preparing me for this EMT lifestyle. I am currently working at Empress and I was beyond prepared because of Code One. I'd like to start by saying as like every school they have minor flaws which can simply be fixed but overall there is nothing I wouldn't change because if it wasn't for John constantly telling me it's in the book I would have never opened my book, I would of failed my state exam because everything you need to know is in the book. So John Diaz I thank you for constantly repeating it's in the book, I thank you for always having extra resources when I needed it, I thank you for always drilling in our heads that's going to be on the test just so we can remember it and I thank you for simply teaching me. I'd like to thank Anthony Rivera because if it wasn't for him I wouldn't be an EMT right now. There was times I came in wanting to quit. There was plenty of times I was just overly stressed and couldn't handle it but surely he did not give up on me. He would have me come in early or even stay late just to make sure I understood the criteria. So Anthony Rivera thank you for taking the time to help me. Lastly, Code One deserves 10 stars, they actually care for each and every student. They take the time to teach you, you just have to make the effort to want it. They have enough instructors to teach you so you won't ever feel as if you not being taught. You can always call them to help you over the phone when school days are off. You can also buy your equipment , Emt pants and boots for really cheap. There's always parking in the area. There's food in the area. The best EMT schoolkimberly gallipoli

I was apart of the 1st accelerated batch and I must say I was very satisfied with the program. If you want to learn and you’re serious about your education then this is school for you. *** Back story, I did this program in the middle of a pandemic. I lost my job and the last 2k I had to my name I used it to enroll and do the 6wk accelerated course. I was broke but I was determined to finish, pass my state and seek employment. If you’re lazy, immature and have no interest in learning then don’t waste your money because this isn’t a piggy back program. All the instructors were very professional, knowledgeable and helpful. Law and Roman are the absolute best with skills, Ed is very knowledgeable as well and he was very helpful in ensuring you understood the material. Will is tough but he’s also quite hands on and willing to help. The owner, Jon is very friendly I’ve gone to his office more than once to seek assistance if I didn’t understand or needed help and he never said no. Always willing to help. Everyone at this institution that I’ve come into contact with I can tell they’re top notch and passionate about EMS. If you need help, ask, they have resources to help. Failure isn’t an option. If you were doubting this school take this as your sign to call, walk in for a visit and sign up. You won’t regret it. Btw I finished at the top of my class with a 96avg. I’m now NYS certified and passed my NREMT.Kacey Witter

Great school. I wasn't doing great and my average was low but they helped me a lot. John Diaz is a great instructor and very understanding, so are Dave Roman, Aaron Law, and Ed Martinez. Show them everything you got and they'll help you a lot. They're tough on the students? Hell yes they are but at the end of the day, everything pays off. If you fail this course, is because you didn't work hard enough. Yet, if you fail it and decide to go back, look at it as an opportunity to get more prepared. The key is to show them you are really trying, do your best, practice and they'll work with you. You'll not get dropped just because, you'll get dropped if your average is low and you're clearly not trying, but even if you're average is low, they'll work with you. Just don't make the mistake and underestimate them, they're very nice people but they'll fail you if you take the course as a joke. Especially John and Dave, they're nice but keep your jokes to yourself because they're all business.Jayden Torres

My mom is 90 years old and suffers from crippling arthritis. She recently was diagnosed with an infection in her right knee and can not use it at all. We hired On Time to take her to a doctor''s appointment because they were equipped with what we needed to get her down 12 flights of stairs. My mother was very anxious until Mark and Marek showed up. They were absolutely wonderful ! They did such a great job and were so kind to her. They stayed with us the whole time. The ambulance was like new as well as the equipment which made for an easy ride. I would DEFINITELY RECOMMEND them and we would definitely use them again. They are on the expensive side but it was well worth it !Laura Purcell

I was transported by On Time in August, 2017 and the service were phenomenal! I was transported from Burlington County, NJ to Philadelphia, PA. Never have I felt more comfortable with my life in the hands of the Transport Team. It was a Nurse and an EMT. They were very polite, knowledgeable and compassionate. They reassured me that I was in good hands, everything is going to be okay and they took care of me. I would recommend them to anyone who is in need of great patient care as well as great service. Thank you On Time Transport Team!Precyous Wilson

Over the last month, I used your services 2 times. Both occasions the driver, Theria, was on time, friendly and had a way of making me feel less anxious with the surgery that I was about to have. Theria also brought me back after the surgery was completed. Theria is caring, thoughtful and a pleasure to be with. You are very lucky to have a driver of her caliber, humor and competency. Not everyone is as thoughtful during these trying times.Sandra OShea

I have a question: I saw your ad and I want to get the security guard training. But I do not have the requirements needed. I have been unemployed for several years; mostly had gigs but no real income. So, I don't have any current income taxes to show you. I have state ID, social security card. I am willing to pay for security guard classes? What should I do? Will you guys still take me?Larry Tenelanda

I'm happy I found this place. I'm going for the medical assistant training that starts on March. I thought they forgot about me but it just takes some time for the classes to start. I applied last year like around November. Best part is that classes are free. All I have to pay is 40 dollars for books and 17 for the kit. Thank you guys for helping people in need.Gabby's Life!!

I applied for a program, I got an email from a Shawn Gadsden asking for my documents, I than emailed ALL my personal information and its entirety by the due date. I haven't heard back from this place. Very unprofessional, my personal information with my social security number and no one contacts you back. VERY unprofessional.Lineiris Martinez

I first want to say how wonderful this school is. They are committed to make sure you pass everything. Monte is a great instructor and has been doing this for awhile. Lecture nights are very interesting and Monte shares his stories that he has had as a EMT. All the instructors on Saturday will make you very knowledgeable in skills. If your not comfortable in a area they will work with you to ensure you understand it better. You will dream of Trauma and medical assessments even after your done with school. Thank You Timer EMT for everything you taught me.Daniel Hughes

By far the best place to come to if you’re looking to join the field of EMS. The level of training you receive is second to none; and, you will have experienced, knowledgeable instructors who give in depth explanations that make learning simple. I highly recommend TIMER.Steven Yusufov

If you want to enter EMS you can't pick a better place. Twice weekly lectures in the evening compliment the skills component which are taught buy outstanding instructors on Saturdays. The program is thorough, fair and focused on skills.Michael Connolly

David is a seasoned EMT and a very knowledgeable instructor. The last thing you need after a long 12 hour shift is a boring class. Standby EMS training was everything but that. The classes are very interactive and they keep you on your toes. Standby EMS will be my go-to source for training and continuing education.Ray Garcia

David's knowledge and expertise really gave me great insight into some of the challenges and rewards as an EMT. He gave me great advice and insight that only an experienced medical professional would be able to give. A 5 star establishment easily.Daniel Fuks

David has gone above and beyond to support my son in his goal to become an EMT. He exemplifies the best in people working to make a positive difference in the community.Gail Mandel

Patents is always waiting 1-2 hours after their pick up time every single time for a clinic visit. I had to write this review since a lot of people read my reviews. They need new management is horrible and will tell dispatch to lie. Worse is their unprofessionalism. Horrible patient care.Joslyn Hampton

It astounds me about how little some of this school really cares. First, the Financial Aid department is a joke. Do you want to know when the last day to get a refund is? Wait in line for 30 minutes. Do you need something signed so you can mail it? That takes 5 days and pray they don't lose it, twice. Do you need your funds for books transferred to the bookstore, that takes another day. I registered for fall classes in June, and they don't start until September so why do I need to pay in full in July?!?!? If you don't pay 3 months in advance, your spot is gone. Now the professors. Some of them were good and I learned from them. The rest couldn't give a damn whether you pass or not. No homework? Open notes quiz? TAKE HOME EXAM? I thought this was college? How about when your professors don't post your grades in time so you can register for the next semester? Everything i just mentioned, all happened within my FIRST Year! If you want a mediocre, high school level Gen. Ed classes with fantastic inefficiency, Bergen is the place for you. If care about your education and want to keep your sanity, maybe take yourself elsewhere unless you can't afford it.LeoLicc

I greatly enjoyed my time here. They had so many programs available that it was surprising it wasn't a 4 year program. They even had a dental hygienist program. The teachers were always helpful. They had some type of collaboration with NYU where NYU accepted your credits so it would be easy to transfer to a prestigious school. I'll never forget my experiences in Bergen community college. I know at one time they were ranked one of the top community colleges in the country which I wouldn't argue in the sense that I've never had a better experience at any other school.Guy Zandler BSN, RN

Coming back to life after a long winter away. Bergen Community College reopened its doors to a new year and a new chapter in the history of great College welcoming back students and teachers for the first time in the year and seven months since the covid-19 pandemic struck with such a huge punch they closed the school for that year and seven months and had to put everybody on remote learning. That's felt like a revitalization of spring had arrived againChristopher Gagliardi

The college it self is very huge and clean I like there because the air is so pure, everything looks nice. Even in my posted picture you can make a conclusion that everything is okay outside and inside of the campus. They Securities 💯✌🏾are doing a good job and also helping students with directions and how to verify their cuny pass or how to get their clear-past.Y.B

I graduated from Riverdale Country School in 2011 and attended BCC from 2012 to 2014 after taking a gap year. This is the most beautiful of all the CUNY campuses. I earned my AAS in Education. Professor Stephen Powers helped me to get many internships, jobs, and into an Honors Program at Queens College. Love walking past the campus 🚶‍♂️Carlos E. Montoya Jr.

My college back in the day. CUNY tuition is still great compared to private university choices. Offering two year degrees that can Transfer to bachelor's degree within the CUNY system or SUNY. Better tuition rates equal less college loans and college debt. Check out CUNY or SUNY as options to lower cost education choices.kat Santiago

Ranks down with the worst of the institutions. When ever there is a problem (and there will be problems) staff do nothing other than point fingers and say "not my problem". Any one that plans on dorming there WILL be required to purchase a meal plan for the cafeteria for roughly $2000 per semester. If you don't use the entire amount, don't expect a refund. They won't give you one. Oh, it's in the handbook that it's "forfeited". Sure it is, unfortunately they don't let you know that until after they take your money.Scot Ruxton

I want to tell you for me being a older student , this is by far the best school I have ever attended. The staff, the students poor out so much love and support. I would recommend anyone to go to this school. This school doesn’t just say equal opportunity, they follow by it . I wish it was a 4 year school. The human services department gave me so much support that I’m in tears writing this review. Lacy was my mentor and made each day special. I want to thank DCC for the best school experience ever !!!!!Summa Scrub

Good college to go to, I've been going here for a couple semesters and I've really had a good experience here and just learning about life in general just from the people I've met. The pricing for courses is also really good on the wallet and most professors who teach here are pretty well rounded and down to earth. I definitely recommend this place to anyone just starting out with college and wants to save money, or is still figuring out what they want to do.Jared Tennant
