Why did you choose BC3?  I chose BC3 because it gave me the opportunity to live at home for another year, get a good education at a good price, and be part of a community.

My favorite part about BC3...is the community. I love how people are brought together in different ways on campus. 

Advice to prospective students: When deciding on college, evaluate your college options and identify your priorities. Whether you end up choosing BC3 or somewhere else, what matters is that you choose the place that works best for you academically, extracurricularly, and socially!  

Activities/Involvement: Along with being a student ambassador, I will be playing basketball.

If I could plan a perfect Sunday...it would look like going to church in the morning with my family, going out for brunch after, and then relaxing at home, maybe playing basketball with friends in the evening.

Jocelyn Repas

Hometown: Cranberry, PA

Major: Nursing (RN)

Why did you choose BC3? I learned about their amazing nursing program and the new state-of-the-art Shaffer School of Nursing they were building, and already knowing my desired major was nursing, I knew this was the college for me. Upon touring BC3, I was impressed by the clean and beautiful campus, the friendly staff and professors, the variety of opportunities provided, and the close-knit community.

My favorite part of BC3 is...How welcoming the environment is. I am one of the few students from my high school attending BC3 (especially the Main Campus) but it was easy for me to create connections with my professors and form friendships with my peers.

Advice to prospective students: Don’t let anything hold you back! Say “hi” to the classmate sitting next to you, utilize the many resources like tutoring and student success coaching, join clubs! Most importantly, focus your attention on your studies and create an organized schedule for yourself, and you will succeed.

If you looked at the songs that were on repeat on my playlist you would find...Mainly Taylor Swift songs currently, haha. But I love many different genres of music such as country, worship, pop, and rock and roll.

Major: General Studies

Why did you choose BC3? I had went on a bc3 tour in 11th grade with my school. I was told about the free tutoring, how easy it was to apply for scholarships, the smaller classroom sizes so you can really get to know your classmates and professors, the many events they have, and many more things. Since then I knew this was the right college for me.

My favorite part of BC3 is? The staff have been super helpful with getting ready and adjusting to the change.

Advice to prospective students: Definitely go on a bc3 tour and see if the school feels like the right fit for you! College fairs are helpful but seeing the campus in person and talking to students really helps you figure out if the college is right for you!
