I have no words to explain how grateful and amazed I feel for being able to study in this institution. They try to help you with everything, they make it easy and affordable. Staff, professors, students, volunteers, thank you so much, for giving me the opportunity to study in this country.

I havent even made it to scheduling and this is already the most trouble Ive been given by any academic program. And Ive went to better programs. Im stuck due to a terrible work accident that has left me 100% physically disabled until my surgery soon. I will not be recovered until mid 2025. Due to this I had to relocate a while back to my hometown to have help being taken care of. I cant stop my life. I have to continue with my credits. I cant work. Im a liability. I cannot study ON campus for an unknown amount of time. On top of that I have been diagnosed and treated by a psychologist and clinical psychiatrists for autism and ocd with learning disabilities. I have had so much trouble for months just trying to get to an advisor. The school lost the electronic transcript I paid for. It took months to get that squared away. It was escalated so many times and no one could find it though I have proof that it was received by them. Every day is a new day of hurdles. No one Ive spoken to seems to be on the same page with anyone else. Everyone has their way of doing it and its usually not working then the next person says thats not the way to do it and it keeps going. Mind you, I was warned by others that its not a simple process getting started here. Its hoops and hurdles and then they scramble the last week to fit you in places. I finally was given an advisors number. I left a message. They did not respond but sent a personal email and it felt rude, short, unhelpful, and basically a big fat I cant help you. That was David Beckman. I desperately expressed the issues back and how hard its been and how I just need to get my classes together and I cant go in person and everything for me is 4 steps behind compared to able bodied and intellectually abled students. I still havent heard from anyone in the disability office there. I explained I cannot do math online and have had to drop it in the past. Im terrible at it and it has to be done in person so it HAS to wait but everything else should be no problem to get started and whatever obstacles can be overridden. I know because better universities agree. Freakin Columbia told me it could wait while working on my cybersecurity until I can get in person and be able to live in a math lab with on campus tutors and professor hours to get through it. My mind does not work that way. I cant just do it. I have tried numerous times and cant afford to fail out over and over but he was upset that I reached out to him wanting to know who sent me to him. It was one of the MANY people who you speak to over the phone at bctc. You cant keep up. Even when youre not calling them, they have someone calling you who has no idea the struggles youve been having wanting to know why you havent set up your classes yet. Im sorry but I dont have an hour to keep repeating this situation to each random caller. Thats how I keep ending up with a different answer to my issues every other day. I have no one to just go through this with me and help me get to where I need to be. I thought an advisor was that person. Another person I spoke to who works for the college personally apologized for that advisor and said they were going to get me scheduled with someone else. That was all it took to get an appointment with an advisor after months. Its weeks out and pretty much, nothing can go wrong at that appointment as we wont have time for that. Not quite sure how Ill go about making sure everything is done in time. The page on disabilities is so confusing beyond anything Ive read academically. I dont have tests. I was diagnosed as an adult. Ive been medicated. I can get letters, sure, but testing? I was treated in NYC and was told there is not proper adequate autism testing for adults but I was diagnosed without a doubt and given medications for symptoms. As well as OCD/ADHD which overlaps a bit. Either way, if you can go somewhere else, just do so. Im seriously considering saying forget this and going elsewhere where Im not such a problem.
