Student Testimonials
“I thought, 'Why not save some money?' If I am going to get the same class for a fraction of the price, there was no point in going somewhere else.”
– Guest student Robert Pontius, of Wexford, transferred credits from BC3's 2023 Winter Session to the private four-year university near Pittsburgh from which he earned two bachelor's degrees in the spring.
“I am looking to get credits made up, and compared to there, BC3 is a lot more affordable for a winter course. Knowing that the credits transfer over, I am going to make sure that I do the more affordable option.”
— Guest student Lauren Bowser, of Worthington, transferred credits from BC3's 2023 Winter Session to the public four-year university near Philadelphia that she attends and has registered for BC3's 2024 Winter Session.
