Why did you choose BC3? BC3 offers the best and most affordable nursing program across
the whole state. I always dreamed of going to a 4-year college but after seeing the
welcoming, enjoyable, and engaging environment here, I knew this school was meant
to be. BC3 really does offer something for everyone!
My favorite part about BC3...is the Logan Cafe! I love getting coffee and snacks with
my friends in between classes.
Advice to prospective students: Just do it! BC3 offers something for everyone and
you will definitely appreciate the money you will save by going here.
As well as being a student ambassador, I am also a member of the Nursing Club.
If I could plan a perfect Sunday...I would have a Jeep Wrangler with the doors and
top off, coasting down the road with the music up, during the sunset with my friends.
If you looked at the songs that were on repeat on my playlist you would find...A little
bit of everything (except the oldies lol)! I love today's hits, country, pop, and
the hit 2000s music.

Why did you choose BC3? I originally attended a 4-year school and learned it wasn’t

cares about my success.
Advice to prospective students: Don't stress too much about picking the “right” major

is different. So just remember you’re not behind if you’re unsure of things.
