Bucks County Community College — Attraction in Newtown Township

My home school is Penn State Abington, and I decided to take some summer classes here a couple months ago. The reason being is because it would be cheaper, and they would transfer directly into my home institution so I could graduate faster. Well, once upon a time I used to go to community college of Philadelphia. Not for long because I dropped out to work and travel, you know, take a gap year, live and figure out my life, mature and grow up. But when I came back, the people at CCP were very much so judging and unhelpful. I see now, no matter what community college you go to, it's all the same. I have yet to meet another school with people that are as caring and kind as those at Penn State Abington. Although the facilities and parking are great, and the teachers are too, the people who sit in the offices are just as crappy as the ones at CCP. It makes me wonder if they have a brain? I recently received the most hilarious letter ever! That my financial account is deactivated because I didn't supplement them some kind of paperwork, when that wasn't mandatory because I was a GUEST STUDENT. And well, that if I didn't pay them what I "owe" they would take legal action against me. The reason I put owe in quotations and ask whether they have a brain or not is because I paid for my classes in straight up cash, IN FULL, before classes even started for the summer! I have receipts to prove it, and get this, at the bottom of the letter it said, "as of the time of this letter your current balance that you owe is $0.00." See my point? Why even send it? Do you guys have a brain? Maybe you guys need a turnover some of those workers and give them to students who graduated and actually want and need the job. They'll probably won't be as lazy as some of these folks to actually read what is being sent before it is sent out. I've never had so many problems, and never had my questions answers, and so much dodging in my life... oh wait, I did, it was at another Community College. Needless to say, besides some of the workers, it is a...

I've seen quite a few negative reviews here and I believe they are unfair. The grammar and spelling on the negative reviews should be taken as an indicator of students that clearly failed to learn.

I've taken approximately 80 credits at Bucks. I returned to school part-time at age 30 and just graduated (Fall 2015) with an associate's in engineering after about 5 years. I worked full-time throughout and took between one and three courses a semester.

I would say that my experience was mostly positive. The typical school bureaucracy applies- financial aid and adviser sign offs and such are a necessary evil. I had to do those things the same as any student.

I would say that my professors were genuinely interested in my progress and did whatever they could to help me. I'm so thankful for Christine Delahanty (and her husband), "Doc" Klein, Stephen Taylor, Dr. Kumarage, Dr Ram, (now Dr.) Ryan Fealy, Doreen Cornell, and numerous other professors I've had over the years. Each of them contributed to who I am as a person and I'm so thankful that they were at Bucks and were invested in their students!

My advice to prospective students- you will get out of your education what you...

Isn't a 5 star college but very impressive for a community college. Buildings keep getting renovated which is very nice to see and know that the college is moving forward. Staff is friendly and nice, in my experience with college I haven't had a single problem with college rather than my own, or with students that just trash the place. Starting with spitters next to benches between main buildings and ending with "cool guys" who pot out cigarettes on"No Smoking" signs. I can easily disagree with the review saying that the college don't put you on the path of success for first two years. Its not a school for teachers to baby you around and tell you what to do. You attend a college so take care of yourself and stop blaming everything else, I chose all my classes for myself and didn't have a single problem with my success. If you don't know what college to attend after school, Bucks would be one of the best budget ways for you to go. Classes don't cost that much and if you have FAFSA you will be golden.
