I love Baton Rouge Community College because it is the perfect step in between transferring from high school to a university. It is also a great school for business degress and technical jobs. I would say this school is a great stepping stone nomatter what field you are going into and the tuition is very affordable.
Heather from Baton Rouge, LA
This a perfect school for someone who has a busy life, wants a great education, and does not want to be around a large group of people. The classes and teachers are mostly straightforward. The classes are also very intimate, so you don't have to worry about getting left out.
