The rewards of college are not just what happens in the classroom. It’s
also about the incredible opportunities that open up when you become part of
a diverse community of dreamers, thinkers and doers. At Bloomfield College,
you’ll discover there’s something for everyone. This culture is
especially championed by the College’s student government, which is dedicated
to supporting and strengthening a student-centered institutional community.
A random sampling of the student groups
and organizations at Bloomfield - which
number well over 30 are represented
by the student government - These organizations provide just
a hint of the incredible breadth, richness
and diversity of activities available
through the College.
For instance, the Capoeira Club practices
an incredible blend of Brazilian music,
dance and martial arts. Harambe discusses
Black history and educates the community
on Black issues. The Producers & Artists
Club collaborates to produce live music
and recordings. The Residence Life Council
promotes programs for residential students.
And On-Point is a student literary
magazine that focuses on multicultural
issues.
There are also academic honor societies,
social clubs, arts organizations, volunteer
groups and professional associations.
In short, if you want it, it’s
here.

A
Home Away From Home
A great majority of Bloomfield students commute, so the Senator for Commuter Students in concert with several commuters play a major role in the life of the College, particularly in making sure that the needs of commuter students are well met. Study areas, lounges and computer workstations throughout the campus have been designed specifically with commuter students in mind. A special commuter breakfast program also brings students and administrators together on a regular basis. And refreshment and snack services are fast, convenient and economical.
Living on Campus
Bloomfield’s residence halls and theme houses accommodate approximately 300 students. First-year students and students who live beyond a reasonable commuting distance comprise the majority of campus residents. If you live on campus, you’ll quickly become part of a close, family-like community. And you’ll discover plenty of opportunities to socialize through events developed by the Office of Student Affairs. Among these are movies, lecture and leadership-development series, campus-wide festivals featuring live music, and trips to Broadway plays, concerts and museums. |
