Categories Comments Campus Safety Stay away from drugs and alcohol. These items can destroy a promising future. Life is too short too miss out on everything available to you.
Greek Life I am an American. Here everyone can have the opportunity to succeed. You just need to do the work and make the effort.
Clubs and Activities I am involved with AAPC. I go to movies and I like to travel. These activities help clear out cobwebs and allow me to get a fresh perspective on things.
Great for these types of students Libraries are a great place to meet other students. When online it can feel isolating. You can feel so good meeting others that are just like you.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus Exercise and a healthy diet make learning easier. A long walk can be refreshing and is a great way to brainstorm ideas.
Bang for the buck Online learning is less expensive than traditional college. The school provides the tuition and books.
What to do for fun Get out into the sun as much as possible. Time away from your studies is important for success. Enjoy the little things and you will go far.
Food and Dining Healthy food is best for the brain. Snacks high in vitamins and protein are a must for proper brain function and the retention of lessons learned.
Dorm Life No dorm life. I am able to live in my own apartment. I am the captain of this adventure.
Academic Rigor Do the homework. Put assignments at the top of your to do list. Studying is the key to understanding.
Tips for prospective students You need dedication and perseverance. You need computer savvy and the ability to ask help. Talk to everyone; instructors, representatives, and peers.
In three sentences I love being online. Classes are exciting and educational. I am learning a lot about who I am and everything that I am capable of.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Entering any Briarcliffe Campus one should always feel safe as our security is top notch, and staff is well trained in how to react in times of emergency.
Clubs and Activities One interesting thing about Briarcliffe college is that unlike many schools take pride in having one of the best USBC sanctioned bowling teams, having competed ten to fifteen sanctioned bowling tournaments per season since its creation including two tier one tournaments per season. Briarcliffe also offers many other sports including Baseball,Lacrosse, and Soccer. Another interesting athletics related event healed every year at Briarcliffe is the Student staff softball tournament, which is a great opportunity for both students and staff to get together and have some fun. Now say your not athletic you may be asking is their anything i can do? The answer is yes, I my self pride myself in saying I am not athletic and am happy to say that Briarcliffe is well accommodated with clubs for all sorts of people ranging from the gaming guild which is well suited for all us gamers and future game designers to Pride which is a LGBTQ supportive club which provides a safe space for LGBTQ and their straight allies to go and discuss LGBTQ related matters such as legalizing trans laws.
Great for these types of students Briarcliffe is great for a wide variety of students providing many majors to choose from, as well as activities for all types!
Bang for the buck Briarcliffe as I have stated before is top Notch, providing excellent services and everything you need to succeed. When I say that Briarcliffe gives you everything I mean everything. All your books for your classes are provided in your tuition at Briarcliffe so all you need to do is show youâ??re schedule and your set!
What to do for fun Briarcliffe College offers many clubs and activities, which you can find under the clubs and activities review.
Food and Dining Briarcliffe campuses like most schools provide a cafeteria full of multiple selections of food. The pricing for the food from what i'v experienced is fair and actually one of the lower priced school cafeterias that i have been to. Other than the school cafeteria Briarcliffe is conveniently located directly around the corner from a McDonalds as well as just a few minute drive from the Broadway mall, which also has a well diverse selection of food. The Broadway mall's selection of food includes subway, McDonalds, Chinese food, Arby's, Taco bell, and much more.
Dorm Life Due to its small campus size dorming is not provided at Briarcliffe campuses. Although the lack of student dorming may seem like an issue for some people, it should be noted that even with lacking of dorms on campus the school campuses are located in very convenient area for commuting as their are many opportunities for apartments and small houses which students can take advantage of.
Academic Rigor The challenges you may face while attending Briarcliffe College are minimal as their are services that are available to all students designed to help students succeed. The main challenge that the most students will most likely face would be related to tuition and other financial matter rather than a issue with producing quality work, as tuition is a bit high, although you defiantly get a very high quality education for the money you put in.
Tips for prospective students A few things to take into consideration before attempting application to the school would include knowledge of the attendance policy which states that students are allowed to miss no more than 25% of any given class per semester. If a student reaches the 25% mark, the student will be automatically dropped from the class. Another good thing to know about Briarcliffe College is that as a aid to all students the school offers tutoring through the learning center which is a great resource that all students should take advantage of to avoid any need to repeat a course due to failure to complete assignments and or to produce satisfactory work. Finally the last major tip that should be noted is that Briarcliffe College offers great services through student advisement which include, resume and cover letter critiques, mock interviews, on site interviews, and much more that can help you to get a jump start on your career.
In three sentences Briarcliffe College is most defiantly a inviting school. The over all atmosphere of the school is warm, and the small class sizes defiantly allows for a better relationship with individuals in your major allowing for you to make contacts that may be useful later on in your career. Likewise the size of the classes makes for a better learning experience as you will be able to develop a better student teacher relationship, which would be near impossible in a larger setting.

Categories Comments Campus Safety I personally never had any issues when visiting the local campus.
Great for these types of students As with all online programs, you should be a self starter and be prepared to work independantly with dedication and focus.
Bang for the buck If you feel time is money than this is the right place for you. The program moves really fast so you can get your degree much quicker than in a traditional learning institution.
What to do for fun As a retunring adult student I have not been involved in campus life so I have no feedback.
Academic Rigor A bit intense and demanding but I enjoy the challenge.
Tips for prospective students The best tip I could give future students would be to stay on top of deadlines and keep up with the work. Never allow yourself to fall behind becuase things will move too quickly to catch up later.
In three sentences Briarcliffe College provides an excellent online learning opportunity that is especially appealing to adult students returning to school for a degree. The instructors provide wonderful support helping students realize their true potential. The flexible schedule helps students meet desired goals quickly thanks to the two mini-terms conducted each semester.
