   Getting in

   How it compares

   With 2,515 universities in the United States, Blue Ridge Community College sits in a very crowded higher-education market. Its profile is narrower than a large university because it offers 15 foundation-level programmes, which may suit applicants looking for a smaller subject range rather than a wide research-focused selection.
