I don't know why everyone drinks Gin in Batavia. Whenever I go in a bar close to this college, it's only Gin-I-See.
This is an excellent college. I've been inside the campus probably 5 times, I've taken one class here (but I was just sitting in and not taking the exams), and I've spent a decent amount of time here, though mostly a couple of years back.
It's definitely the heartbeat of Batavia when it comes to education. It's a destination for a lot of the locals and a springboard to better things.
I used to visit this college when I was playing concerts in WNY for the first time, and my good friend and producer was a student here. I'd often pick him up here, or we'd hang out here, and through knowing a teacher I was able to sit in on some classes... and it was a nice, rural, leafy campus very close to the Thruway (Interstate 90). He had mostly positive experiences there and I got a good impression of it. The standards weren't as high as he wanted, nor as I expected, so for that reason it scores 4. However it's an excellent Community College on most levels and is a much cheaper path to getting degrees than the ones that will leave you heavily in debt. read more
