    Butler is a great and affordable school. I have attended three semesters and have only encountered one difficult instructor so far. So long as you pay attention in class and turn your assignments in on time you will pass your classes.

    Campus Safety

    campus safety is great. If anything happen an immediate mass text goes up so students know not to come to campus etc.
    What to do for fun

    There are lots of things to do for fun. Of course there is the sporting events and sometimes they put together little fun activities for the campus to engage in. Very fun!

    Great for these types of students

    High School graduates, returning adults
    Bang for the buck

    Butler Community College is a great school to get some of your pre-requisite classes completed. While the tuition is less expensive the education is still up to par. It is a great place to get your feet wet without draining your wallet.
    Food and Dining

    Don't get in a habit of eating vending machine food! The Andover campus has a great snack bar in the student union with a variety of foods that will keep your stomach full and your mind sharp. In ElDorado there is a great cafeteria that has a good selection and great cafeteria to take a break and chow.

    Tips for prospective students

    Use the tools that the college has to offer. Go to events sponsored by the college or organizations and meet people. Even if you are shy just go grab a cup of coffee/hot cocoa and see what is going on at the school. The more you go, the more you will see familiar faces and that will open up a world of conversation and relationships that can greatly benefit you and your education in so many ways. Just stay involved and stay focused.
    In three sentences

    I think that Butler Community College is a great starting point for a variety of students looking to further their education. Students who have just graduated high school and are entering college for the first time are able to see what it takes to make the grade and experience the real world of navigating your education and a college campus without the intimidation of a large university. Returning students, like myself, are able to merge back into the flow of student life while balancing work and a family.

    Campus Safety

    The campus in El Dorado, as well as, the campus in Andover seem to be in tip-top shape with posted safety tips and rules. There are always officers on campus willing to lend a hand if needed.
    Greek Life

    Greek life?? What on earth does this mean? Are you asking what the Greek culture and religious practices pertained? Do you want to know in depth how they feel the world works and which gods they thank and pray to on a daily? Perhaps... you'd like to hear some of the most vital tails of their Greek Mythology? Once the question's validity is known to me... I will write a 4,000+ word essay on the subject for you. :)
    Clubs and Activities

    There are, as you could've guessed, a wide variety of clubs and activities to keep the students pre-occupied with more sparks of interest and distraction from some of the manual labors involved in class.. such as studying, reading, writing.. etc. Any individual would be capable of finding and extracurricular activity that would be worth their time, effort, and concentration.
    Great for these types of students

    Students know which fields they will most likely succeed in based on their own individuality. I don't believe there should have to be an instruction manual for something as simple as this... unless of course I had know idea WHY I was trying to attend college in the first place. Obsurdity
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    None that are known to me, besides not being able to smoke cigarettes on campus anymore as of 2014.
    Bang for the buck

    Hmmm... here we go... more talents and hobbies. :) -Flag Spinning -Swing/tap/line-dancing -Bodywork/airbrushing for common/rare automobiles -English Major with Honors -CNA (Certified Nurse Aide) for 7 years now -Single mom with one beautiful daughter -Professional (Licensed) Tattoo Artist -Professional Lifeguard Certifications with AED training and Bloodborne Pathogens knowledge
    What to do for fun

    What do I like to do for fun? Well, there is a large list of hobbies and talents that I enjoy on almost an everyday basis. To name a few of them: Play women's volleyball, ballet, enter art shows with MANY different art mediums, write essays/poems/lyrics/plays and reading. I am a firm believer that books still pertain the ultimate guide to knowledge over internet sources and most new technology. I really enjoy working in the medical field and I am anxious to continue to my own road of never-ending learning of the human body and interactions with it.
    Food and Dining

    I keep a disciplined and persistent healthy diet. Therefore, most of the intake I have while in between classes does not usually involve what they serve in the cafeterias or snack machines. However, I must say, there are still a variety of options for healthy protein snacks that are always made available.
    Dorm Life

    Unfortunately, being a single mother, I did not get to experience the life of a college student residing in a dorm room. I reside in my own home that is 15-30 miles from BOTH campus locations. Though, I would've really liked to understand this particular experience that college-life offers.
    Academic Rigor

    As noted in the first category of this questionnaire, the air of the college hallways had a strong impulsive feeling of destiny, accomplishments, and new beginnings. The classrooms are highly competitive boxes of knowledge with pupils ready to absorb whatever the professor gives that day.
    Tips for prospective students

    Research at least eight different colleges in your surrounding areas. Make sure to separate each college from the other and make a list of pros & cons for each college you're looking into for your career choice. Most importantly, remember that the quicker you turn in the paperwork... the quicker your applications, scholarship/grant/student loan money is processed and accepted or denied to you. Making sure everything meets their deadlines is critical.
    In three sentences

    Butler Community College has the best psychology professors and lecture classes. Their students are spontaneous and sociable in the hallways that seem to greet every day in class with a positive sense of self-confidence and endurance. The staff made it a personable experience when first starting the beginning steps to the endless signatures, schedules and stressful deadlines.

    Butler Community college is great. It's a close knit environment where no one feels left out. You are not just a number because the students/teachers take time to get to know one another. Help and encouragement is giving freely so all can succeed.

    Clubs and Activities

    There isn't much of a variety of clubs to join.
    Food and Dining

    I just tend to get snacks here, with the occasional lunch. The food is basic, nothing fancy. There are plenty of options for eating in El Dorado.
    Dorm Life

    I don't live in the dorms, therefore I can't really give any information about them.
    Academic Rigor

    There is a good selection of core classes to choose from, from English to Chemistry, Literature, Algebra, Biology, and many more.
    In three sentences

    It's great to get the necessary core classes completed here more cheaply than a four year university or college. The classes are small enough that you feel comfortable with your classmates and instructors. The college feels like it's own little community where to instructors care about your learning.

    The Bear Necessity cafe has excellent food!
    Dorm Life

    I don't live in the dorm. Some of my fellow students do and they seem to be getting along just fine. I have heard that dorm students are well taken care of.
    Academic Rigor

    Some curriculum is difficult, but it is because most teachers really want you to know the material. As long as you stay on task and keep up, it really isn't that hard. I always take my books with me, so I can study when I have a few extra minutes.
    Tips for prospective students

    You should be prepared to study. Come to class ready to learn. The curriculum can sometimes be tough, but the instructors want you to really know the material.
    In three sentences

    Butler Community College is a close, convenient college with satellite locations and online classes to make it easy to attend. I have had great success with every teacher I have had so far, they have our best interest in mind. I appreciate that Butler is an affordable choice for continuing education.

    Bang for the buck

    If you live in El Dorado, unless you need to go to Walmart or something, take the back roads everywhere. There's no lights and the speed limit is faster. Also, if you don't have to, just walk around. The town is small enough that almost everything is a 10 to 15 minute walk from the campus.
    What to do for fun

    Most people go to Wichita for the weekend and hit up the local clubs there, also there's little coffee shops everywhere, and there's a ton of fun events on campus.
    Food and Dining

    The secret is in the ranch, I don't know what they do to it but its AMAZING lol. But its all pretty standard food in the cafeteria, also there's a little diner called Bare Necessities with the best cheesy bread you will ever eat!
    Dorm Life

    I wouldn't know about the dorm life. I commuted from home, so I've never stayed in them. They're pretty fun from what I hear though.
    Academic Rigor

    It's just like a couple of steps up from high school, if you just took you average standard classes. But if you took more rigorous classes, then it'll be just like if not a little harder than high school work.
    Tips for prospective students

    Go for as many scholarships you can, you can get a scholarship incredibly easy if you just go and find them, such as the foundation scholarship and a number of activity scholarships. Also, don't forget to have fun, and get to know your teachers! It'll help out in the long run.

    In three sentences

    Butler is a nice jumping off school. I'm specifically using it for transfer credits to get to my real dream school. Reasonable tuition, different atmosphere than high school, but a good transition as it is very similar to a high school setting.

    Bang for the buck

    This is a great place to start. I have got all of my General Education Requirements and have saved some much money. I love the small class sizes and have yet to deal with a teacher that I cannot stand. I have also taken an online class and like it a lot. I was able to save lots on gas and had more flexibility with my homework.
    Am enjoying being here

    All the professors are very friendly and try to get to know each student. I take all of my classes at the Andover campus. The student area is very nice and is great for doing homework in between classes or just chilling. The cafe in the student area is pretty good and reasonably priced.
    Am learning a lot

    This fall is going to be my second year here. I love the small class sizes which allow teachers to help students one on one. Almost all my teachers I have had are willing to sit down and work on something.

    Its very cheap, its very reliable and the only time someone would feel threaten is if they have absolutely no money but then there is financial aid and the financial aid office works well with everyone!
    Am enjoying being here

    Being at Butler or BUCO is a great fit for me. Its cheap but teaches me the lesson of saving my money for things rather than just randomly spending it all. Its given me the lesson of we can always have fun on campus for very little cost. i feel more at home somedays on camp than at my own home!
    Am learning a lot

    I am learning so much here! i'm learning that college is more than just reading a lot, writing papers, and sleeping a little as possible! I've gained so many more friends and i will never forget the ones i have made since i've been here. Everywhere i go on campus i learn more about the college's history and i've never felt more at home. i learn that the education is very good! My instructors are very calm, cool, and organized! i will never forget the things they have taught me!
