Flag Review - Rating:
- I'm in the nursing program at BCC, they got some great teachers and a pretty clean campus. Also, the tuition if far lower than other schools. I would highly recommend this school for future nursing students, in fact I think its a good school for the other programs they have too. My very close friend goes here as well and she loves it as well.
