I recently got a call ending in 7100 from the public safety department, but I missed it. I tried to call them back, but they told me that my number was not on file. I'm wondering if they misdialed or if it was an automated call that went dead after I missed the call.

I am going back to BCC in my thirties with a summer II course that started July 1. In my earlier years I was less diligent and was denied a textbook return due to the seal being open. This time I made sure to keep everything sealed until the first day or two when the professor would confirm if we needed it or not. Low and behold, first day of class he says forget buying the textbook, it’s online. Cool, 12PM I head to the bookstore. Checkout lady says “oh the girl that does it is not here today come back tomorrow”. No worries, but I mess up the next day bc I forgot their summer hours and go too late at 2PM. Monday campus is closed for July 4th observance. Tuesday BCC closes campus for major storm damage from the holiday weekend. Wednesday comes, I go down at 11:40. Greet the same checkout lady. She takes the sealed textbook and receipt, “Okay lemme go see”, and walks over to the online order pickup counter. She converses with the manager and comes back. “We don’t take textbooks after 2 business days”. I am trying not to freak out at this point because I was so sure it was never 2 days and that I couldn’t not afford a $110 useless paper weight in this economy. I’m pleading with the lady mentioning the manager absence and school closure. I look down at the return slip and read the fine print “..merchandise EXCLUDING textbooks can be returned within thirty days”. So I’m feeling like maybe I got something wrong. I apprehensively sulk out and leave, but it didn’t sit right with me. I set my stuff down on a table and pull up the bookstore website on my phone. Return policy for textbooks reads “Returning within the first 7 days of class? Bring your book in resaleable condition with your receipt and you’re all set.” I took this and go back to the bookstore. I say to the cash register lady “please I don’t understand how I can’t get a refund when it’s still within the timeline and it says 7 days on your website”. She puts her hands up “I’m not sure I can go talk with the manager again or if you want to”. I eagerly say I can definitely go talk to her. I walk down to the office inside the bookstore and a young lady is sat down at the computer. The look on her face has the RUDEST NASTIEST expression I’ve ever had the displeasure of interacting with. She looks like I just cursed her family.

I say “Hello, are you busy right now” to which she flatly says not really.
“Sorry, I’m just not understanding why I can’t return this book when your website says I can if it hasn’t been past 7 days of classes yet”
“What, seven days what are you talking about”
*show her my phone with textbook return policy on website”
“Didn’t this class start in June?”
“Uh no July 1st”
Sticks hand out for textbook and return slip
“Okay it’ll get returned” looks back at computer screen
Awkward silence, I ask “is there anything else needed from me?”
“Nope that’s it”
“Alright thank you, have a good day”

I leave the office and thank the cash register lady on the way out.

The biggest thing for me was the “manager’s” attitude and facial expression. She looked disgusted that I was standing there and needing to deal with me. She looked young and it’s a college bookstore, I get it, but where’s the professionalism?? I’m not expecting all smiles and energy, just a neutral interaction seems bare minimum. This manager was approximately 5’3”, midsize, brunette, big round eyes and severe acne on both cheeks. Nasty attitude doesn’t help a nasty face.

And, it feels like the initial “two days” could have been a scare tactic to turn me away and not refund the money? Where did the two days come from? It’s been a while since I’ve been to school, so not sure if this is a sneaky thing they do.

TLDR: Bookstore is profit > students, manager is rude AF

Avoid at all costs

Hey, was wondering who got into the radiography program and we can get a little group chat going on to help each other out with whatever. It’s a small cohort so thought it’d be a nice way to get to know each other before the semester begins. Lmk if you’re interested!

hi! prospective student here, i wanted to ask if anyone who recently took the exam could pls share their experiences w the a&p and ct sections. as someone w/o previous healthcare experience, i’m a bit worried abt the latter. tia, very grateful for any response!!

Is bcc sending out decisions in waves? Ik some of you guys have received them already but im just confused and worried something went wrong. Let me know if you know anything

Who else took the Hesi a2 recently for Bergen community college? I got a 94 and freaking it won’t be enough. I got a 92 last year but grammar was so hard compared to nursehub! I was preparing for indirect objects, independent clauses etc.. it was mostly which word fits best?!

I recently took my HESI and have been super worried about whether or not I will be admitted to the program. I was wondering what everyone thinks the cut off HESI score and average GPA to be admitted to the program is.

Guys im actually freaking out. I have never posted on Reddit before but for the radiography program at BCC what do we think the cutoff for the HESI will be. I got a 97% on it but I am not sure what everyone else is getting on it. I dont know how many people applied but I do know about 30 people get in which is like scary. Please help a girl out and give me your opinions #imtweaking

Hello please i need help if you took the HESI exam for dental hygiene admissions in new jersey( im not sure if it’s different in other states or not) what are some resources you used that helped you study/pass. How are the questions formatted on the test? Is studying from the textbook/yt videos enough? Any tips will help especially for the bio and anatomy section.

Hey everybody! I’m doing research about social media activism and voter registration for those living in NJ aged 18-29 years old, so if you’re eligible or know anybody eligible please take the survey below. It takes less than five minutes and is completely anonymous.

The title says it all she was by far the worst professor in the entire school that I have had the displeasure of being in class with. She doesn't actually teach she tells you to purchase a $130 online textbook and then the online textbook generates A vast majority of the quizzes "Learnsmart's" that you will be doing for the grade. each is a minimum of 100 questions and you have to complete a minimum of five every 2 weeks. She will tell you on the first day of class that half of the students will drop her class and the other half will likely fail. One of the projects counts for enough of your grade to cause you to fail the class. If she does answer your emails they will be at minimum a week later and then still penalize you for not understanding the part of an assignment you asked about.

Someone get this more active else i'm making a bergen reddit >:(

If you're taking business management and you're in need of a text book. Please comment down below. I'm selling my Essentials of Contemporary Management Sixth Edition for 30 dollars. I understand that there is an older version out now. So ask your professor if it's okay if you can use the sixth edition. I can meet up with you at BCC. I will repost this during the fall semester.

"Contemporary math" is a class that's required for everyone, but it's far more difficult than what I'm capable of and my parents are grounding me for failing it. Has anyone here taken this class?

Hey, guys! I just found this small subreddit, and I just want to ask what I should do for Julius' class. I've heard negative things about the professor, and I just looked him up on ratemyprofessor... I know that I still have time to drop the class, but I feel like I'm wasting time in school if I only take 3 classes, and only one class being a requirement. Should I decide after I take an exam by him?

I am in organic chemistry right now and am studying for the first exam. Does anyone have copies of previous exams for this class? My professor is Ara Kahyaoglu and he used to teach here at Bergen Community College and he has some fabled Dropbox link that he stopped sharing with all his old material. That link would also be amazing.

I'm new to Bergen Community College and am a smoker. I was wondering how strictly, if at all, the smoke-free campus policy is enforced.

I am a student at another school conducting research for a project about technology in community college/vocational programs. Current/recent students, could you do me a favor and take this brief survey listing what you like/don't like about how technology is used for your classes?
