Rated 4.5 out of 5 by 15
Rated 5 out of 5 by SkiMom Wonderful Sun Screen for the High-Humid Climate
I bought this for my mom (who still lives in Thailand) about six months ago and she absolutely loved it. She rides her motorcycle to the big exercise field everyday and she said not only it protected her face from the sun ray; it also protected the strong wind from damaging her skin while she's riding her bike as well. It's also a perfect consistency for her since she lives in a high-heat & high-humidity like Thailand; it's very light and doesn't make her face sweat. I bought her the second bottle and she recommended me to try it as well, and so I bought the third bottle for myself and really liked it except it's very dry on my face, which I think the Colorado climate is too dry for it, but it worked effectively!
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ogle12 Not Greasy
I love this sunscreen. It took me a while to find it but it is great. It does not feel greasy and is very light weight.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sunny321 Nice and light
Not to greasy or heavy. Like that it doesn't have a strong odor.
Rated 5 out of 5 by sbsunkiststargazer Best sunscreen ever
This is probably the best sunscreen I've ever used! I have fair, sensitive skin. This sunscreen is light, it doen't irritate my skin and doesn't smell like sunscreen. It is a real value because you actually need very little.

That disconnect could soon change. Universities where graduates are having trouble getting jobs risk losing business, while those that are nimble and responsive stand to gain, said Matthew Sigelman, CEO of Burning Glass Technologies, which provides spidering services to colleges.
"Schools that can make sure their graduates do well are seeing a meteoric rise in their standing," he said.
One of those is Boston's Northeastern University, which employs an "experiential learning" approach that requires undergraduates to work in real-world settings for up to 18 months. More than half go on to full-time jobs in those places, and more than 90 percent are employed or in graduate school within nine months of earning their degrees.
Northeastern has also been using spidering technology for more than three years as it expands to satellite campuses in Seattle and Charlotte N.C., where real-time "help wanted" listings have revealed high demand for workers with training in finance, taxation, and project management (Charlotte) and science and technology (Seattle), but a dearth of qualified workers.
At its Boston campus, Northeastern has been mining data to find out who is hiring and for what jobs, then seeking out the top employers to find out what type of graduates they need, said Sean Gallagher, senior strategist and market-development officer.
Like most other schools, Northeastern previously used state and federal government labor data. "The inflection point, from my perspective, was the economic downturn in 2008. After that, you could see that these forecasts were entirely out of date," said Gallagher.
The intense focus on preparing students for the workplace has driven a 46 percent increase in applications to Northeastern over the last five years.
Based on real-time labor-market information, the Lone Star College System in Houston will close three programs next fall, in aviation management, hospitality management and computer support.
The community college found that employers prefer four-year to two-year degrees in the first two cases, and were outsourcing work in the third in order to lower labor costs. But the school is adding programs to train oil and gas drillers and CT-scan technicians, for which there is burgeoning demand.
Cabrillo College near Santa Cruz, Calif. thought its program in medical assisting was doing well -- until spidering technology showed there wasn't much hiring going on and a survey of recent graduates confirmed that fewer than 30 percent had found jobs in the field.

Differences between String, StringBuffer and StringBuilder in Java
String in Java
Before looking difference between String and StringBuffer or StringBuilder let's see some fundamental properties of String Class in Java1) String is immutable in Java: String is by design immutable in Java you can check this post for reason. Immutability offers lot of benefit to the String class e.g. his hashcode value can be cached which makes it a faster hashmap key and one of the reason why String is a popular key in HashMap. Because String is final it can be safely shared between multiple threads without any extra synchronization.
2)when we represent string in double quotes like "abcd" they are referred as String literal and String literals are created in String pools. When you compare two String literals using equality operator "==" it returns true because they are actually same instance of String. Anyway comparing object with equality operator is bad practice in Java and you should always use equals method to check equality.
3) "+" operator is overloaded for String and used to concatenated two string. Internally "+" operation is implemented using either StringBuffer or StringBuilder.
4) Strings are backed up by character Array and represented in UTF-16 format. By the way this behavior can cause memory leak in String because same character array is shared between source String and SubString which can prevent source String from being garbage collected. See How SubString works in Java for more details.
5) String class overrides equals() and hashcode() method and two Strings are considered to be equal if they contain exactly same character in same order and in same case. If you want ignore case comparison of two strings consider using equalsIgnoreCase() method. See how to correctly override equals method in Java to learn more about best practices on equals method. Another worth noting point is that equals method must be consistent with compareTo() method for String because SortedSet and SortedMap e.g. TreeMap uses compareTo method to compare String in Java.
7) toString() method provides String representation of any object and its declared in Object class and its recommended for other class to implement this and provide String representation.
8) String is represented using UTF-16 format in Java.
9) In Java you can create String from char array, byte array, another string, from StringBuffer or from StringBuilder. Java String class provides constructor for all of these.

Girls...I like the first name Alyssa and am pretty set on it I have a million middle names I like such as Alyssa Kate (my oldest son's fav), Alyssa Claire, Alyssa Grace, Alyssa Jayne & Alyssa Gabrielle to name a few..lol. I also love the name Aubrey and I think I like either Aubrey Jayne or Aubrey Claire the best but I actually like the name with most of the Alyssa combos as well..lol. And last but not least is Olyvia I love that name too I had a dream about 6 months ago I had a baby girl and her name was Olyvia Evelyn (Evelyn is my grandmothers name) so it's on my list :)

for a boy be aware that Zander is the top boys name I have heard lately. Its getting really popular. If you are ok with that it is a cute name. I like Wyatt because its different, not something you hear often. I think Wyatt Andrew is my favorite.
Girls I like Aubrey best because its the most unique as far as popularity I think. I think I like Aubrey Claire is my favorite.

I like Zander, but spelled Xander. I do agree that it's getting really popular, but if you love it, I would go for it. I like Wyatt as well (it's funny, I just replied to another post about the name Ruby and said I had a friend whose DD is named that. The same friend also has a DS named Wyatt!) As for girl's names, I would go with Alyssa Jayne (I like the "y" theme) or Aubrey Claire. Olivia is pretty, but the "Oly-" spelling reminds me of Olympia Washington. A great city, but it just looks too close when you're looking at it written down. JMO, though. GL!

I like Zander, but spelled Xander--although I actually prefer Alexander and then Xander as a nickname rather than a formal first name. Wyatt is cute but definitely getting very popular. Of your girl choices I like Aubrey Claire the best.

I give two tumbs up for Wyatt, I actually have a Wyatt Mason, and he loves his name.
I love Aubrey and Olyvia for girls, Olyvia was the name I had picked out for a girl, but then DH's cousin had a girl and named her Olyvia so I can't use it now if we ever have a girl. I wouldn't have problem using it if we didn't see them very often, but we do and our kids go to school together.

Thanks for all the responses. I still love the name Wyatt and we had been set on that for a boy in the beginning. I will probably go with Wyatt Andrew (Andrew is DH's middle name)
But I'm really hoping that I dont have to worry about a boys name and I get to pick my girls name. :)
I already thought if I ended up with Twin girls like my DS#1 predicted I'd name them Alyssa and Aubrey..lol
I'm loving Aubrey Claire too...and Alyssa Claire and Alyssa Jayne..lol I can'te decide. Ds#1 is insistant this baby IS a girl and he's already decided her name should be Alyssa Kate..lol. He even yelled at his little brother for calling her Alyssa Poop...lmao! It will be either Alyssa or Aubrey though....unless something else strikes me. I just can't wait to find out what I have in there..lol :)

With This Ring Bridal Guide and Wedding Planner 2013
A How To Guide For The Perfect WeddingJanuary 13, 2012
Wedding Day Transportation Options Abound
Couples have many decisions to make regarding their wedding ceremony and reception. One of those decisions concerns transportation to and from the special event.January 18, 2011
Beautiful Wedding Day Tresses
What bride doesn't want to be heads above the rest in terms of her wedding day 'do? The trouble is, many brides-to-be don't take adequate steps to ensure their wedding day tresses will be up to par, including doing a practice run and being confident with their stylists. While your hair may look picture-perfect in your mind, getting through the wedding day with hair intact takes some time and effort – and the planning process doesn't start a week before the wedding, either.January 18, 2011
Most Popular Honeymoon & Vacation Destinations
For many couples a honeymoon is just as important as the wedding ceremony. These couples seek the best in a vacation destination – and understandably so after surviving the stress of planning a wedding.January 18, 2011
Honeymoon planning how-to
With all the work that goes into planning a wedding, it can be easy for couples to overlook their own honeymoons. But in the middle of all those seating arrangements and reception hall negotiations, couples also need to plan and look forward to the rest and relaxation that awaits once the wedding has come and gone.January 18, 2011
Creative, Budget-Friendly Tips For The Big Day
Today, more couples are looking beyond standard wedding packages and exploring customized, do-it-yourself options. According to The Wedding Report, couples spent 10 percent less on their big day in 2009 as compared to 2008, and spending from 2007 to 2009 fell by more than 30 percent.January 18, 2011
Tips for couples about to marry FINANCES
When two people decide to get married, they're not only combining their possessions, but they're also bringing together unique ideas about personal finance. These ideas may bring challenges to the relationship and should be discussed beforehand for the best start to the marriage.January 18, 2011
Realize the wedding of your dreams with planning
There are a few things about weddings that cannot be predicted or controlled, such as what Mother Nature will do on the wedding day. However, there are many items that are well within the control of the bride and groom. Proper planning can help ensure the wedding of their dreams. One of the best ways to ease wedding-day nerves is for the couple to get organized and begin planning their event the moment the engagement period begins. The earlier preparation starts, the better the chance that vendors will be able to provide what's needed, or that changes can be made when unforeseen events pop up. By making a list of things to do, couples can allot time in their schedules for each task, and they can feel a sense of accomplishment and relief each time an item is checked off the list.January 18, 2011
Before you tie the knot...
Speak to anyone who has been married for years, and you will find that communication is the key to a successful relationship. However, many couples enter marriage without really knowing their spouses, or how they feel about certain beliefs, hopes, aspirations, or even financial concerns. After the glow of the wedding is over, couples who haven't discussed these important topics may find that stress or arguments arise from miscommunication or misunderstanding.January 18, 2011
Traditional & non-traditional ways to celebrate a wedding
Some couples want to celebrate their weddings in traditional fashion; others want everything to be unique, new and exciting.January 18, 2011
Scent-sational ideas for wedding favors
Hunting down the perfect wedding ensemble, negotiating seating arrangements with squabbling relatives, honeymoon flight reservations that change on a dime – how did something that should be so joyful become so stressful?January 18, 2011
Wedding music pointers
Brides and grooms have a few options when it comes to the music played at their ceremony and reception. Live musicians or DJs are often the entertainment of choice. When hiring the entertainment, there are some important things to keep in mind.January 18, 2011
Invite only — pare down your wedding guest list
Couples are faced with many decisions when planning a wedding. One often overlooked decision concerns the guest list. Ideally, couples would love to invite all their friends and family to share in their special day. Realistically, however, budget often dictates just how many guests a couple can invite.January 18, 2011
Surviving your wedding expenses
The average couple will spend between $20,000 and $30,000 on their wedding, a figure that does not include additional expenses such as an engagement ring or honeymoon. For many, that is 50 percent more than they have actually budgeted for the occasion. Underestimating wedding expenses can lead to financial distress even before the marriage has begun.January 18, 2011
Wedding cake trends this season
The multi-tiered cake is a favorite wedding tradition that's often presented at the end of the night. The happy couple takes a slice and enjoys the first piece.January 18, 2011

You know the drill. You're on line at Starbucks, you order a mocha cookie crumble frappuccino from the barista, give him or her your name and wait impatiently for it to be called out so you can grab the last available armchair.
Or not -- at least if you're a Brit lining up in a London Starbucks. There, locals resent giving up such classified info, according to a BBC News story titled "Will You Tell Starbucks Your Name?" "I am not looking to make friends when I go into a coffee shop. I just want a drink," the English actor Arthur Smith told the BBC. "I don't want to go clubbing with them."
If you're vacationing in London, there are plenty of ways to deal with this scenario, whether or not you want to go clubbing with your barista. You can give a fake name; you can say your name really is Skinny Cinnamon Latte; or you can behave like you do every day of your life at your local coffee shop and use your given name. The following are some strategies to employ if you want to be an insider, whether you're in Philadelphia or Toyko.
Cheesesteak Ordering in Philadelphia
Watch a cheesesteak expert in action; you'll see that ordering is a super-efficient process. First comes the cheese: "Prov" (provolone), "Wiz" (Cheez Whiz) or American. Then, the big decision, "Wit" or "Wit-out" (with or without fried onions). "Wiz wit" = cheez whiz + onions. "Prov wit-out" = You've got this one.
You can either practice your orders on your family or take advantage of one of the countless helpful detailed websites on the subject. Rick's Steaks (owner Rick Olivieri is a "third generation steak master") even has an Order Like a Local feature on rickssteaks.com where you plug in the details of what you want and it tells you exactly how to say it.
In-N-Out Ordering Around the US
As the amazing In-N-Out burger chain expands from its L.A. home base across the country (there are now locations in Utah, Nevada, Arizona and Texas), their secret menu is no longer so secret. Especially because it's listed right on their website as Not-So-Secret Menu. That secret menu has six variations on the burger, including 3×3 and 4×4 (the number of beef patties and American cheese slices) and the now-classic Animal Style (instead of a raw onion slice, you get caramelized onions; you also get your burger fried in mustard and a bunch of extra pickles).
In fact, there are several more actually secret menu items (Animal Style fries!). Kenji Lopez-Alt ate his way through a bunch of those options for Serious Eats, including the Flying Dutchman, which is a 2×2 with nothing else.

NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo's education plans please — and worry — local school leaders
School district leaders in the region are intrigued by education proposals Gov. Andrew Cuomo unveiled in his State of the State address last week, such as providing state funding to better serve underprivileged students, but they remain wary about where the money will come from.
"To help close the achievement gap, we must ensure that our students spend more time learning," the governor said on Wednesday in proposing a competitive grant program to encourage school districts to lengthen their calendars.
Cuomo's points about lengthening the school day and year to address low test scores and graduation rates among poor and minority students in many ways mirrors an approach the Rev. James Childs, a member of the Kingston school board, has been advocating.
Last month, Childs proposed expanding the elementary school day through a flexible scheduling approach that staggers when certain educators arrive at school. That way, he said, teachers would not have to work extra hours, and children who need services like physical or occupational therapy would not have to be pulled out of core classes.
That approach, which would have to be negotiated with the Kingston Teachers Federation, would help the district respond to the fact that many students do not get the academic support and encouragement they need at home by giving children more time with adults in school, Childs has said.
The governor's speech indicated such a plan is the kind he wants to see in grant applications.
"Quality extended learning time requires school leadership and unions to re-imagine the way the school day is structured and how instruction is delivered, and to negotiate agreements to maximize the impact of more instructional time," Cuomo said.
Childs on Friday said both the school year extension and Cuomo's proposal to provide grant money to expand the state's universal prekindergarten program from 2{ to five hours per day for high-need students have merit. Kingston teachers, meanwhile, have highlighted research that shows students in poor families tend to lose more ground over the summer than their more affluent peers and that impoverished students tend to come to school with fewer reading experiences than other pupils, leaving more educational ground to be made up.
"The problem I have is we can talk a lot about vision, but when the budget comes, we'll find out if the vision is there," Childs said.
Childs, like many other education advocates around the region, does not want to see regular state aid converted into competitive grants for specific new programs at a time when districts say they are struggling to make ends meet. Continued...
Charles Khoury, the superintendent of the Ulster Board of Cooperative Educational Services, said he, too, is expecting more clarity about what the government has in mind when Cuomo delivers his 2013-14 budget proposal to the state Legislature. He said the budget request by the state Board of Regents "leaves no room for competitive grants" at a time when teacher pension costs are expected to increase by about 25 percent and health insurance costs are expected to increase, on average, by 8.5 percent.
Converting regular aid into competitive grants could create a scenario in which rural districts without art, music and sports programs have to compete for money to expand prekindergarten, Khoury said.
Rondout Valley school district Superintendent Rosario Agostaro noted New York state does not currently mandate kindergarten but the governor plans to "somehow fund pre-K."
Targeting the grants toward high-need students could give big cities like New York and Buffalo a leg up on winning grant awards, but Khoury said districts like Kingston still could have a shot with strong applications, depending on what the rules are determined to be.
Agostaro was interested in Cuomo's proposal to use competitive grants to create "innovation zones" designed to encourage districts to better utilize technology to enhance learning, particularly in light of Rondout Valley's focus on expanding science, technology, math and engineering instruction. Depending on eligibility, Agostaro said his district would apply for funding.
Agostaro said he was disappointed that the governor did not discuss mandate relief for schools in his speech, which came just weeks after the governor's Mandate Relief Council voted down 51 of 65 requests for help from local governments and school districts in what once was billed as an effort to give local governments better flexibility to operate under the state-mandated tax cap.

The inaugural season of "Gift Wrapped Museum" begins Friday, Dec. 21, at the Southern Ohio Museum on Gallia Street in Portsmouth with eclectic musical performances and last minute gift ideas.
"We are really excited to be able to give back to our community," Museum Director Pegi Wilkes said. "We hope everyone can come out, for at least part of the day, and share the museum with friends and family. The festivities were selected with all age groups in mind."
Doors open at 5:30 p.m. for Roger Jerome presenting a one-person show based on the works of Charles Dickens. The show begins at 6:30 p.m., and patrons are invited to stroll through the galleries and mingle with fellow lovers of art.
A member of both British and American Actors' Equity Associations, Jerome graduated from the University of Birmingham in England (B.A.), the University of Sussex (M.A.) and the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London (Honors Diploma). He was an elementary teacher, an actor and a college lecturer in the UK, until he came to the USA in 1988. Since then, he has taught at several colleges throughout America, acted professionally and devised a number of successful solo shows.
Roger has also directed a number of college and community theatre productions. His acting is strong in characterization and impact, and his educational work is founded in a commitment to creativity and a respect for the creative process. Since 1996, he has developed his acting work, both in professional companies and with his one-person shows.
The John Simon Band, featuring the talents of John Simon, Tommi Stanley, and Aaron Wolfe, will also perform during the day. The band is best known for its commitment to preserving the area's heritage.
Known for his annual Sorghum Festival, Simon has been an avid musician for most of his life. His "Appalachian with dignity" approach to music carries through into his everyday life. Simon has also taught countless students, from children to university students, and authored several books focused on aspects of Appalachian culture.
Stanley comes from a long family heritage of traditional Appalachian music. Following in her mother's footsteps, she is a singer, songwriter, and fluent performer of many traditional instruments. Besides being a well-rounded musician, Stanley is also a country dance/square dance caller.
Also performing at the museum is Portsmouth musician Steve Free — a nationally and internationally recognized recording artist whose style of music has labeled him the "Appalachian Jimmy Buffet." He has won eight ASCAP Awards, received a Platinum Award, and Charted 14 songs on The National and International Charts, including his "number one" song "Just a Baby Boy", which is becoming a worldwide Christmas song. In 2008, he was awarded The State of Ohio's Governor's Award as "Individual Artist."
Dr. Stanley Workman will also be a the museum on Dec. 21, leading Christmas carolers. Workman is the co-founder and artistic director of the Southern Ohio Light Opera, the Director of Music/Organist-Choirmaster at the 2nd Presbyterian Church, and currently serves as instructor of voice and Director of choral activities at Shawnee State University, all in Portsmouth, Ohio.
For more information and performance times, contact the museum at 740-354-5629 or visit them online at somacc.com.

Categories Comments Campus Safety safety patrol is always looking out for students and there safety. they enforce rules and aren't rude about things, they do it in a respectful manner where you get whats acceptable and whats not on campus. not only that but they are rather student & faculty friendly witch i appreciate a lot.
Clubs and Activities i'm not in a club but from what i see on campus they have events for us at the student center. just the other day a lady was singing italian music, it was pretty interesting. they've also had a comedy club in witch i enjoyed very much.
Bang for the buck classes are cheap and effective. food is at a great price, enjoy your food & enjoy saving your money! renting books at the book store is also cheap, i really love that option about bergen community college.
Food and Dining the food is great, especially the wraps! the breaded chicken fajita is my favorite. they also have a subway where you can enjoy a fresh sandwich. they also have a pizzeria witch in my opinion is very good!
Dorm Life no dorming at bergen community college!
Academic Rigor its great, the academic rigor is effective. the teachers are always there to help you with your questions & for resources there is always the library or the student center. also the conveniences of teachers making them self available through online courses are another great factor!
In three sentences bergen community college campus in paramus, nj is beautiful! not only that but the teachers are great at explaining the curriculum. also the student center is a great place to sit and study, a nice learning atmosphere.

Categories Comments What to do for fun Not much to do for fun except hang around with your friends. You could also join an organization of which they are many to choose from. More than likely, you can find one or more groups, clubs or activities that interest you.
Food and Dining This campus has a large selection of foods and stores you choose from. A few examples include Dunkin Donuts and Subway, in addition to the few cafeterias distributed in several locations. We also just got a brand new student center so there isn't a location that is too crowded.
Dorm Life This community college does not have any dorms to live in.
Academic Rigor Depending on your major, some classes may be harder than others. More specifically, the math and science courses truly challenge you. These are the ones I know from personal experience that will actually make you sit down, study, and learn in order to understand and pass the course.
Tips for prospective students If you want to attend a top university and become someone, you have to put forth the effort and study. Don't blame your low grades on professors hating you or being unclear because if others are passing the class, then the problem is obviously something you can fix by yourself. Just because it's a community college does not mean you can breeze through it. Use it to prepare for the university you want to attend.
In three sentences Bergen Community College is a great school to attend in that you learn about as much as you would in an actual University for less money. The only negative thing I could say is that maybe the professors baby some of the students too much. As long as you are willing to learn and put forth effort, you'll enjoy learning in Bergen Community College.

What to do for fun Go to student life, join clubs, just get involved lol
Food and Dining Subway, Italian food, & Dunkin Donuts
Dorm Life Nonexistent
Tips for prospective students Visit your professors during their office hours, TIME MANAGEMENT IS HUGE!!!!!!!!!!, if you want to get good grades and have a life this is crucial, make a schedule, if you're struggling with a class(specifically math) go to the tutoring center they're really helpful, get involved in a club and check your school e-mail (there may be some interesting or useful events that you might miss out on on otherwise)
In three sentences The professors are very nice and will help you out as much as they can if they see you make an effort. The classes aren't difficult but require a lot of time to get done. Also, there is always some event going on somewhere on campus.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students The safety of the BCC campus is very qualified. You can always look for an emergency button if needed. The campus staff walks around and there's also a safety station you can approach should you need assistance.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus The Finance Club, along with others club, will help you interact with people of all ages and walks of life. You will learn more about business, investing, and complete projects that'll help you with management later on in life, whether it be a money-related project or a simple life task.
Bang for the buck Believe it or not, the vending machines are the best thing you can look forward to during break. When my professors say we can for a 5 minute break, I always find a good snack to fill my break time and keep me satisfied.
What to do for fun You can sign up for the swimming pool or enjoy the gym. You can go to the library and read several interesting books or enjoy going on the computers in the lab. You can even sign up for the golf or soccer team and enjoy the various sports programs.
Food and Dining The food is truly delicious. Anywhere from sandwiches to gourmet lunches, the selection of different foods is really magnificent. The staff at the lunch room are always helpful and courteous.
Dorm Life Though BCC currently does not currently offer a dorm, it would certainly be enjoyable to dorm here. The diversity makes for a great atmosphere here, and I believe students would really interact well with each other.
Academic Rigor The academic rigor is exceptional for a community school. There are several programs such as Accounting, Health, Business, Computer Graphics, Nursing and other popular programs. The curriculum is on par with large and popular universities, so the education you get is really worth your time and will improve your knowledge and academic standing.
Tips for prospective students With more than 14,000 students enrolling in some sort of educational program, BCC can be the path to your future. The school offers Associate in Arts (A.A.) and Associate in Science (A.S.) degrees. Consider a transfer program for a four year school. Take your studies seriously and you will excel. The path to your future career and employment is in your hands. Consider signing up for some online classes as well as on campus to fully experience the education at BCC.
In three sentences Bergen is a state of the art school among community colleges. The environment, atmosphere, and curriculum is on par with established universities. This school offers the best transition to a four year financial institution.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students If you are undecided on your major or do not have the money to go to a four year school, its a great way to complete the basic requirements.
What to do for fun The Garden State Plaza is just around the corner where you can watch movies or go shopping. They also have many student activities available throughout the year and offer discounts.
Food and Dining The cafeteria has a good selection of foods to choose from.
Dorm Life Live at home
Academic Rigor People underestimate Bergen because they think that its just a continuation of high school when in reality its at the same classwork level as a four year school.
In three sentences A very diverse school. Its great since it has many different options. Has a major or trade for anyone.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students Bergen Community is great for any students. It is so diverse and accommodating. If you are a parent, working, older, younger, whoever you are, it is not hard to get involved in a class at Bergen.
Tips for prospective students Get involved, take a tour, go to orientation. Some people I know complained about not getting to know anyone, but a lot of those people didn't take initiative to join anything. Taking a tour is always good , or just checking out where your classrooms are BEFORE the first day of class, because that can help you to not get lost & cut down on your stress.
Bang for the buck I'm attending Bergen Community with the NJ STARS scholarship program, so it is very cost-effective for me. Because of that scholarship, the only costs I have each semester are my books and fees. The bookstore could definitely be a little bit cheaper, but from what I've heard, that's how it is across the board.
Am enjoying being here I was nervous about going to community college when most of my friends were going out of state, but I have found friends and clubs in which I can take part in. I find many classmates outgoing & friendly, especially in my honors classes, but in other classes as well.
Am learning a lot A lot of people I know think that a community college will give you an inferior education, as opposed to a 4 year institution. This past semester I took an Introduction to Human Services class and I learned so many new things. A friend of mine at a private college in Massachusetts was taking a similar class and I knew everything she was talking about, because Bergen had already taught it to me.

Categories Comments Bang for the buck Like I said, classes are good if the teachers know what they are talking about. If they don't though, which is slightly the majority, they're not worth it.
Food and Dining Cafe is good. Wide selection.
Dorm Life There is no dorm life.
Academic Rigor Offers challenging courses if the teachers know what they are talking about.
Tips for prospective students Take your classes based on rate my professors and not just by chance. Also get your courses done with and transfer out ASAP.
In three sentences It's a good school for the courses offered and teachers, but the administration doesn't care much and the workers can be very rude. Some teachers are great while others have no clue what they're talking about.

Clubs and Activities BCC have many clubs and activity. you can join them all. even they have video game club. otherwise you can find put how you can make your own club
Great for these types of students so far all students i met are educate. i have no problem with no one :) you just should enjoy life :)
What to do for fun for fun you should join some club, or just shill in class if the teacher shills too :p but other than that join some sport or clubs specially if you like video games :)
Food and Dining i don't eat too much fast food, but from what i heard is really good. a little expensive for my taste but still is worth it :)
Dorm Life BCC don't have dorms, but you can rent appartment close by and is chip
Tips for prospective students go to orientation, go ask people for direction. be there a day before you start classes, so you will know your classes room. the building is so big that you might be lost at first. for that come couple times till you know your classes otherwise you will get absents and loose points. join clubs so you can have fun or any sports
In three sentences BCC is one of my best choices i ever made. I am going for general classes than transfer to other school. is cheaper that way cause im only spending 1500 for all my general than spending 8000 just for my general classes in the school I want to go. other than that, the classes is the same like any other college or university. but probably i will change my major and finish in BCC. cause in my situation i can only afford for this college and the habitat is great :)

Categories Comments Campus Safety Bergen Community College is very strict when it comes to the safety of their students and faculties. BCC is also a smoke-free school, and there are many Public Safety officers who drives around the school campus to make sure everything is alright. In busy area of the school, they have a crossing guard that stands there the whole day making sure students can cross properly without any danger. The school also has a surround CCTV that monitors parking spaces, walkways and the building for any suspicious activities. The school itself is very safe and you will feel safe whenever your are attending BCC.
Clubs and Activities Bergen Community College offers a broad variety of clubs and activities for students to come and join. The clubs are not boring at all, I've visited every single one of them and there are always a lot of fun things to do and they are very welcoming to new comers! Some clubs are - chess club, drawing club, pottery club, automotive club, diversity club, anime club, poetry club and much more than you can imagine!
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus Bergen Community College will usually have a blood drive for students who are willing to donate blood to those in need. It's been a Bergen tradition to help the community and mold students to have kindness in their hearts and learn to help others and not be selfish. Give what you can give.
Bang for the buck The tuition fee is very affordable compare to other schools. The location is great also, it's not in a busy area but in a relaxing environment. I, myself chose this school because I don't want to end up paying a lot after fulfilling my Bachelor's Degree in Business. I would like to use my hard earned money to help my family, not to waste it all paying back my students loans. Overall, Bergen is a great BANG FOR THE BUCK!
What to do for fun There are many things to do in Bergen Community College. They have a swimming pool open for students who wants to swim. An open weight room for muscle builders and a gym for anyone to play basketball, volleyball and other indoor sports. In the field, they offer golf, football, tennis, basketball court and a track. Often the campus will have karaoke days and such.
Food and Dining Recently, Bergen Community College has expanded their campus to offer more variety of food and dining. Over at the cafeteria, they have a salad bar for vegetarians, Nathan's for meat lovers and other foods while in the new Student Center offers a pizzeria and Dunkin' Donuts. The food are excellent and much more cheaper than outside food.
Dorm Life There is no dorm in this school.
Academic Rigor You learn the same thing you would learn on a four-year college but in much easier and cheaper version. The professors will take their time teaching their students and they do not expect everyone to get it all in one time, thus they offer a lot of extra help. Some academics are very competitive in order to prepare you for your transfer school.
Tips for prospective students Don't ever feel that it is a shame to attend Bergen Community College. A lot of parents that I encounter always compliment me with my choice of school because it is a smart thing to save money while earning my degree. You will realize that BCC is a great school after attending it for a few days. You'll love it and feel more comfortable learning with other students.
In three sentences BCC is a great school for students who plan to do their per-requisites first. The tuition fee is affordable and learning is easy because there are many helpful professors and clubs such as TUTORING CLUB that are willing to give up some of their time helping you with your studies. Overall, BCC is a school that can help you and earn your degree at the same time.

Categories Comments Campus Safety There are always public safety officers around- although their primary job is to ticket smokers. I'm not sure how they handle real security threats, because I haven't even heard of one occurring. They definitely make their presence known though.
Dorm Life Pretty sure dorm's are for abroad students only? Campus life is satisfactory. There are a lot of places to eat, meet people, and hang out.
Academic Rigor The classes are very interesting and interactive. I never had any teachers who overloaded me with work. Overall, I enjoyed the work that was assigned to me and did not see any major issues with any class.
Tips for prospective students If you're using financial aid, you are pretty much a last priority to this school. Spend your first weeks of every semester waiting on line every morning to find out why you aren't on class rosters and cannot attend your classes. By 3 weeks into the semester, they should finally be willing to help you, HOPEFULLY by then it isn't too late.
In three sentences The teachers have mastered getting students involved and keeping them interested in classes. I enjoyed all my classes, even those I didn't expect to like, and all my teachers were great people. HOWEVER- their faculty fails- it is IMPOSSIBLE to get a hold of anyone or get an answer to any of your questions!! I've spent entire days on hold, being transferred to different offices, walking from office to office just to go home with the same unsolved issue!

Categories Comments Campus Safety I personally have never seen any issues on-campus and Campus Police are constantly patrolling around campus to monitor any suspicious behavior. SMOKERS BEWARE: BCC is a non-smoking campus and you will receive a citation if caught.
Greek Life No Greek Life On campus
Great for these types of students Those who live In-County/State and want to stay close to home, want to use it as a means to transfer to a 4-year program, or can not afford another colleges much more expensive tuition.
Bang for the buck If you live In-County and In-State, the subsidized rate for this school can absolutely not be beat. Some parts of Campus (West Hall) are newly renovated and absolutely pristine and beautiful.
What to do for fun There are a ton of social clubs and intramural sports groups that meet year round that you can join to meet new people or just relieve some stress after class. There are also bulletin boards posted around the school that have upcoming activities and social events that are going to be happening on campus.
Food and Dining In the cafeteria there is a Pizzeria, Salad Bar, Hot Food Buffett, along with a fully operation Nathans and Subway. There is a lot to choose from and it is all made fresh on a daily basis. Pricing isn't too ridiculous either!
Academic Rigor Depending on the level course you take and the program material, there are various levels of difficulty you will see. Bergen Community College is one of the most well-reknowned Community Colleges in our country and is home to a wealth of fantastic educators.
Tips for prospective students Show up at least 30 minutes early to each class to allow ample time for finding a parking spot! This is my number one comment to anyone choosing to attend BCC. Finding a great parking spot at BCC is like finding good pizza in the Mid-Western USA: It happens, but you really have to search! Another great thing to practice is making sure you register for your classes as soon as you possibly can. Class spaces fill up very fast as soon as enrollment begins. Be proactive and punctual and you will succeed no matter where you are!

Categories Comments Campus Safety Security is very well manage in this campus.
Great for these types of students International students and those who are not sure about their major.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus Bergen is the only community college that has the biggest business club.
Bang for the buck This school is what you make of it. If you choose to take more challenging professors and work hard to be in the Honors program, you can get a great education here. If you want to have an active social life and volunteer, join clubs, as there are plenty of them ranging from ethnic clubs to academic clubs. You can find many great professors, too.
What to do for fun The facilities and courses are superb! Pool, gym for working out, track and field, baseball, tennis, labs, lecture halls, restaurants inside, univeristy like library. Makes me excited go and learn!
Food and Dining Kind of expensive for a college student.
Academic Rigor Professors care about student and their education.
Tips for prospective students This is the best 2 year college if you are not sure about what career to choose.
In three sentences Bergen is a pretty good place to earn a college education, or at least start it off. Very diverse demographic wise. Also a very friendly environment.

Categories Comments Campus Safety The campus police are kind, and extremely helpful. I'm friends with a few of them, and they are always eager to help. They are also very quick to respond to emergencies, such a fight, or a student in need of immediate help.
Greek Life I think we have a sorority, but I'm not part of it!
Clubs and Activities I'm Vice President of the American Sign Language Club, and it's a great place to go if you're learning ASL. I've been to a few PRIDE meetings, and, again, they are very accepting and fantastic. There is a club for everyone!
Great for these types of students Any! Bergen is a very diverse school, there are people from every race, religion, and sexual orientation. There are quite a few Deaf students that are wonderfully patient with the hearing students learning ASL.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus Not that I know of, and I've been here for three years...though there is a gazebo, and that's pretty cool!
Bang for the buck I have only rarely been dissatisfied with the professors at Bergen. The fact that there is a free tutoring center is amazing, and the tutors are usually great quality. The books are a bit expensive, but that's everywhere, I suppose. The Library is very large, and I love it!
What to do for fun There are many clubs to join at Bergen. Being co-founder and part of the E-Board of the American Sign Language Club (The Silent Speakers) is wonderful. You make your best friends at the clubs, and have so much fun! The school oftentimes take trips to see plays in the City, or see sports games. Honestly, there is something for everyone, as long as you're willing!
Food and Dining The pizza is delicious, no complaints there. Dunkin Donuts in the Student Center is not only staffed by fantastic people, but the coffee is made well, and I don't know what I would do without it. There is a cafeteria upstairs, and the Mexican food, paninis and wraps are good, but the Nathan's is too greasy for my taste; the Subway is okay, but I would stick with the pizza and paninis.
Dorm Life Bergen doesn't have dorms.
Academic Rigor I wouldn't say that Bergen is overly exhaustive when it comes to academics. True, studying is important and vital, but the teachers are wonderfully understanding. Try your best, and I'm sure you'll do well.
Tips for prospective students Don't be afraid to ask for directions; students here won't bite. Join a club! You'll meet your best friends there, and be able to take part in wonderful activities and opportunities to grow. Study hard because your studies are important, and take even the silliest classes seriously. College isn't about how well you take to that which interests you, but how you take to new (even silly) studies! Take your time here seriously. Bergen is wonderful, but the time passes quickly; I know I will miss this school.
In three sentences Bergen has helped me become the person I am today. If I had never gone here, I might never had discovered my passion for American Sign Language and the Deaf Community. The students and (most of) the teachers are wonderful; 5 out of 5.

Categories Comments Campus Safety There are public safety guards everywhere on campus. They help you when you need something and the parking is safe too. If you don't have your car sticker you are getting ticketed
Greek Life I'm not in the Greek life so I don't know much about it
Clubs and Activities All sorts if clubs to join. There is student government association, environmental, pride, African heritage, anime club, art club and much more.
Great for these types of students There is a vas variety of students at bergen. Everyone is able to go no matter what race, gender, or sexual orientation.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus They sometimes have a flee market type setup where vendors sell things. They also have welcome week where they do games and fun activities the first week of he semester.
Bang for the buck One year at bergen with books cost about $5500. Depending how many classes you are taking. The books are a bit pricey but if you rent the books which are also used you save a lot! You can also sell the books you buy. It's not much but it's something. They tend to give half the amount of what you bought it
What to do for fun Student center a great place to hang out with friends before or after class. They have trips off campus to sport games and broadway shows.
Food and Dining There is a huge cafeteria where they have all types of food from subway sandwiches to sushi to a large salad bar. They also have tex-mex section and a panini warp section. They also have Nathan's hotdogs and in the student center there is pizza and Dunkin donuts
Dorm Life No dorms at bergen community college.
Tips for prospective students If you know what you want to study Bergen community college is a great start. Has the best professors of New Jersey and you are able to save money.
In three sentences The professors are great! Classroom sizes are small and the teacher student ratio is good.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Bergen Community College is a very safe campus inside and out. There are always men from community safety walking around and outside patrolling the area.
Clubs and Activities As mentioned before they have such a great variety of clubs and activities for everyone.
Great for these types of students Bergen Community College is great for all students, it doesn't matter if your a new graduate straight out of high school, if its a second career or your going back to take a couple classes it is great all around.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus I enjoy the school library very, not only is a very big and has an enormous volume of books and videos everyone is so kind and helpful. I also like the study in their studies rooms that they have situated in the back of the library.
Bang for the buck This school is great when it comes to getting an amazing education along with great prices. Now a days there are not many things that you can get that will benefit you as much as an education with such decent prices.
What to do for fun Bergen has many different groups and activities that all students regardless of race,gender,sexual preference disability etc can enjoy as a big family.
Food and Dining The food at Bergen is average. I wish that they had more healthier choices for us watching our figures or just trying to eat a more balanced options of food.
Academic Rigor I am currently in Bergen`s nursing program and I can say the school pushes you to be your absolute best. The school really shows you what kind of student you can really be.
Tips for prospective students Utilize all the resources the school has to offer. There are so many different options and people always waiting to help you plan your goals and reach them.
In three sentences I truly believe that Bergen is a great school with many different doors that all kinds of students can open. Also the school is great for students trying to find themselves in the world of academics.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Very safe campus. No issues.
Greek Life None
Clubs and Activities For a community college, student life is phenomenal. All clubs receive great funding and allow for awesome opportunities. The Torch (Student Newspaper) pays writers and editors.
Great for these types of students Hard working students with full or part time jobs.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus None.
Bang for the buck A great way to save two years worth of tuition. At about $5k a year, you will save a great deal that can be put towards transferring and finishing your degree at a four-year university.
What to do for fun Clubs and activities.
Food and Dining Standard campus food, (Dunkin' Donuts, Subway, Nathans) nothing to write home about. If you have a car you will likely travel off campus for food.
Dorm Life No dorms.
Academic Rigor If you give effort, the coursework should not be overtly difficult. If you are looking for a real challenge, make honors courses. They are stimulating and often taught by the best professors.
Tips for prospective students Stay strict in regards to coursework and scheduling. Pay attention to your degree evaluation and you will graduate in two years. Make the best of clubs and activities as they are rewarding, help with making friends and connections and are great on transfer applications.
In three sentences Bergen Community College is first and foremost underrated. Students often attend with the mindset that the college is for those who didn't try in high school. However, as with all things in life, BCC is what you make of it and I have seen many people succeed due to hard work and with help from the college.

Categories Comments What to do for fun There are lots of club activities, so if you want to have some fun join one of those and you probably wont be bored. Other than that things can get pretty boring, anyways is a community college after all.
Food and Dining I love the food in the cafeteria, I just wish there was more variety,
Dorm Life Sadly there is not Dorm at BCC but there is a lot of activities, so you never get bored.
Academic Rigor It all depends on the teacher, I know that the science and math teacher are like really into trying to get you to know everything. They prepare you for a higher level, so they're expectations can be pretty high sometimes. P.S- Avoid at all cost Mrs. Heignhbaum, she is a calculus teacher, if your really good at math and love to be challenge then take her because she will make you work your butt off.
Tips for prospective students Choose class carefully because you kind of get caught off in the freedom of how easy is to choose classes, Trust me it happen to me and I regret it a lot. Get together with a guidance counselor and tell them what's up and everything you need and what your plan is after bergen and the will help you. Get involve, there are a lot of school activities and use the student center for assistance in any class like math, science and english, there is a lot of help if you need it.
In three sentences Bergen Community College, is a great college for those who wants to transfer to a four year university. The Staff and Transfer counselors will help you in everything you need. Bergen community college is very diverse, so you get to meet lost of people with different culture background which is great!

Categories Comments Campus Safety Public safety is really nice if you talk to them, just don't let them catch you smoking anywhere. $200 fine.
Bang for the buck It's inexpensive and the credits transfer anywhere.
What to do for fun It's a really social school and there are clubs everywhere, hang out in the student center, there's something going on everyday.
Food and Dining Satisfies; wouldn't do it all the time but it's there when you need something.
Dorm Life Unless you want to set up a tent, or do an overnight at the space center, there are no sleepovers here.
Academic Rigor Keep your head up and don't fall behind, the grades will come easily.
Tips for prospective students Get into the school of honors, hands down it's the only place you want to be in bergen. The professors are great, the opportunities are endless and you're surrounded by the best and brightest students on campus.
In three sentences This school is really what you make of it. When you take the extra steps and become involved with the activities and especially if you join the school of honors, it evolves to the kind of college you want to be in. The professors are sources of inspiration and knowledge that are just waiting to share; that extra step to talk to them will make your time worthwhile.

How life has changed for Jamie Donaldson, the golfer who was advised to stop playing the sport after suffering serious back trouble.
For the second time in just over six months, the 37-year-old Welshman has beaten a field which included Rory McIlroy - and the latest one had Tiger Woods there, too. While the world's top two missed the cut at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship, Donaldson added the title to his Irish Open victory last July and then spoke about his "years in the wilderness".
"The low point, probably in '04, was when I would be scared of stepping off a curb just in case my back was going to go," he said.
When one doctor advised him to call a halt to his career, though, Donaldson was having none of it.
"I couldn't hear that - that wasn't what I wanted to hear," he told Press Association Sport last night, after collecting the £278,172 first prize. "To be honest, as soon as somebody says that, you just go and see somebody else."
That person was London-based spinal rehabilitation specialist Jon Bowskill, and he gave Donaldson a programme of core stability exercises that enabled him to resume playing.
"It's a bit like riding a bike really. Once you've done them for so long you're training balance muscles that you never had before.
"I haven't done any for quite a while now, but I think there will become a point where I actually need to.
"At the moment it's not broke, so I'm not trying to fix it."
Donaldson's triumph at Royal Portrush last summer came in his 255th European Tour start and six years after he had had to return to the qualifying school.

I prefer boutique hotels, but I was coming to Charlotte for less than 24 hours to visit a store in the area, so I decided to stay at the Hampton Inn.... For me, the location was perfect and I'll definitely come back here when I have to visit the store again. The hotel itself is cute, and from what I've heard a Hampton Inn like no other. I had a jacuzzi tub in my room (which I didn't use) and they had a complimentary breakfast in the morning, which was simple and nice. The staff was very helpful sending me in the right direction the next morning and setting me up with a cab service. At the end of the day, it fit my needs for this trip and made my visit easy. від Leigh від New York, NY 21/04/2013
