I am a Computer Information Systems major at Bronx Community College. I am planning to further pursue higher education by transferring to a four year school after I finish here. I fund college through financial aid like FAFSA and TAP, but find that the TAP is not user-friendly. I live with my parents so they really help me a lot, but I did have to quit my part time job to study, so I rely more on my parents than I would like to. My parents did not go to college, so I don’t always know what to do because no one before me has ever done it. I have trouble with class options, some classes only have online asynchronous and those ones are really hard for me because there is no teacher and no specific class time which has caused me to fail a class. Advisors here don’t really explain anything to you. However, a lot of professors here are really good and seem like they care. ASAP is also a good program; they offer the MetroCard which really helps. Our school needs to be able to invest more in infrastructure. The projectors don’t work in a lot of classes, the computers are really old and don’t work. There are always issues with the heat/air conditioning. In my first semester, we had no classes for two weeks because there was no heat. Some classrooms don’t have air conditioning, and the windows don’t open, so in the warm months, it’s so hot you can’t even pay attention.
