    Great for these types of students

    Just get involved and dont be afraid to make friends. Be social
    Tips for prospective students

    Never be afraid to leave your comfort zone. Everyone is friendly and out of their comfort zones so it is a fun time for all!
    Bang for the buck

    Its very cheap, its very reliable and the only time someone would feel threaten is if they have absolutely no money but then there is financial aid and the financial aid office works well with everyone!
    Am enjoying being here

    Being at Butler or BUCO is a great fit for me. Its cheap but teaches me the lesson of saving my money for things rather than just randomly spending it all. Its given me the lesson of we can always have fun on campus for very little cost. i feel more at home somedays on camp than at my own home!
    Am learning a lot

    I am learning so much here! i'm learning that college is more than just reading a lot, writing papers, and sleeping a little as possible! I've gained so many more friends and i will never forget the ones i have made since i've been here. Everywhere i go on campus i learn more about the college's history and i've never felt more at home. i learn that the education is very good! My instructors are very calm, cool, and organized! i will never forget the things they have taught me!

    Great for these types of students

    -Students looking for fill General Ed Requirements -Students who like smaller class size and one-on-one attention -Online students
    Tips for prospective students

    -If you are transferring, know where you are transferring too, and ask an adviser to help you plan out what courses you need to take. -Ask around about teachers. -Attend class; most teachers have an attendance policy, and not being there may really affect your grade.
    Bang for the buck

    This is a great place to start. I have got all of my General Education Requirements and have saved some much money. I love the small class sizes and have yet to deal with a teacher that I cannot stand. I have also taken an online class and like it a lot. I was able to save lots on gas and had more flexibility with my homework.
    Am enjoying being here

    All the professors are very friendly and try to get to know each student. I take all of my classes at the Andover campus. The student area is very nice and is great for doing homework in between classes or just chilling. The cafe in the student area is pretty good and reasonably priced.
    Am learning a lot

    This fall is going to be my second year here. I love the small class sizes which allow teachers to help students one on one. Almost all my teachers I have had are willing to sit down and work on something.

    Academic Rigor

    Classes at Butler Community College are challenging, but are also interactive. The professors will sometime involve themselves in their student's education in their class. However, it is important for students to do their part and work toward their grade because the class work, requires full attention and participation.
    Tips for prospective students

    As in any post-secondary school; it is important to enroll, look for scholarships and meet with a counselor well ahead of time. If there are student with procrastination problems, they will have to fight against it because unlike high school, there are repercussions for unwise actions. Note taking is also a big part of classes, as professors will sometimes take information from the class lectures and use them in tests. As the days progress, that information might start to fade, that is why it is crucial to take notes in class.

    Butler Community College is a great experience for any student planning on furthering their education. The staff is friendly with professors that work for your success in their classes.
