As a school district em

major at Blue Mountain

that attending a two-year

the shock of transition from a
very small school to a larger
one. Cost was also a factor
,in choosing Blue Mountain. I
found it less expensive and

its size, is able to give students

To the editor:
My name is Bill Markgraf
and I am in the process of
obtaining an Associate Degree
in general studies at BMCC. I
will use this degree when I
transfer to a four year school.
I came to BMCC because it
was about the only community
college in the state that had a
lot of agriculture in the curri
culum. I wanted to start at a
smaller school because I felt I
could obtain a better base for
my. education at a smaller
school. It's a place where I
could work closer with the
instructor and get more
"hands on" experience.
BMCC has given me this ex
perience and the chance to
grow and benefit in my field.
