I recently graduated from Bloomfield College and it was truly the most rewarding and gratifying experience of my life so far. I enrolled at BC as non traditional adult student and from day one I felt welcome. The staff and professors especially the ones in the humanities and the English department are top notch. They helped me in order to graduate, they advised me and were able to reward me with scholarships in a time in my college career when I was ready to call it quits. Their encouragement helped me to obtain my goal which was to obtain a bachelor's degree in English. I come from an immigrant family and was the first to graduate from my siblings. Walking that stage on graduation day was awesome! Now I'm thinking of graduate school and will pursue a teaching career. I have to say though this was only possible because of my hard work and perseverance. BC has all the tools to help students accomplish their goals but is truly up to the students if they want to make the best of their college years. The professors are there to help you but only if you take the work seriously. The campus may be small but I like the fact that the professors and staff are approachable and friendly. College is a fun experience but one that also needs to be taken with seriousness and having a hard work ethic is a recipe for success.
