Firstly, congratulations on becoming a college student and welcome to BMCC. There is some advice for incoming freshmen at BMCC. The first one is you don’t need to spend too much money on textbooks. Instead, you can rent your digital textbooks from the school book store or you can go to the library to borrow textbooks and scan and print them. There are computer labs in different buildings for students to use. The second is you can join in the Impact mentoring program at BMCC, you can be a mentee, and you will have a mentor to help you and support you success for the semester. Next, BMCC has a lot of services you can use. For example, the Panther Pantry offers free food for students who are facing a food emergency and financial problem.
