Categories Comments Campus Safety smaller campus located in a smaller city so not a lot of crime. the campus does have security.
Great for these types of students students who would enjoy north country activities. students who would enjoy smaller class rooms and to be a name not just a number.
Bang for the buck fairly reasonable tuition, but goes up usually every year do to the economy.
What to do for fun concerts, skiing, snowboarding, hockey, boating, hiking, (typical north country activities).
Food and Dining great food from what i hear, but the meal plan is expensive.
Dorm Life didn't live in dorms but fairly reasonable from what i've heard.
Academic Rigor the criminal justice program was fairly good and not to academically challenging.
Tips for prospective students showing up on time and all the time is a big deal for almost all instructors at clinton. living off campus helps to save money.
In three sentences clinton community college is a small college and fairly inexpensive. some instructors are great, others not so much, probably like most colleges. clinton is a safe friendly environment for the most part.

Categories Comments Campus Safety The school is always monitored by the campus security. very personable individuals who you can easily talk too.
Greek Life I have not investigated the Greek life opportunities to give a helpful answer.
Clubs and Activities There is a variety of clubs available on campus. I was part of the Science Club which is affiliated with the National Science Teacher's Association. On campus there is a Club Fair were anyone can talk and start being involved in a club! A great experience to be had.
Great for these types of students Anyone who would like to enjoy a smaller community college/community with some amazing professors, students, and the Adirondack views.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus The Alumi Association building. A house that feels just like home. Anyone is welcome to use the building set aside on the outside perimeters. A living room with fireplace, a kitchen, and a conference room are available to use. Photographs of the school when it was the Hotel Champlain are hung around for viewing and appreciation.
Bang for the buck Very affordable. I was a part time sudent for the Fall 2011/Spring 2012 semesters taking chemistry and biology with the labs, and I was on a payment plan to pay out of pocket as I was working part time as well. The school (like others) have loans available.
What to do for fun A lot of outdoor activities such as camping and hiking, shopping around town, and best of all jumping in a car with a bunch of friends and going for a ride off the highway and find an adventure of some sort. Be sure to bring a GPS if you don;t know your way around.
Food and Dining Away from the chain restaurants; there are some delicious places to eat. Such as Arnie's, a time old traditional Italian place still owned by the family, Living Good's, The Pepper, an excellent Mexican establishment holding the name for the best margaritas in town (or anywhere I have been in my opinion). For anyone who wants to travel and explore; Lake Placid is not that far. As well as on Rt. 9 north in the Chazy area Up North BBQ cooking up pork and beef meals with homemade dishes. Of course there is The Happy Pike near Monty's Bay on the Lake Shore Road; everything being homemade and always fresh while sitting next to the Lake Champlain.
Academic Rigor A great opportunity to establish your academia. I enjoyed both my professors and their enthusiasm for their subjects of knowledge.
Tips for prospective students Be open to anything because any opportunity can come your way, and there are some amazing people at SUNY Clinton Community College to help you along the way to get where you would like to be.
In three sentences A smaller community where you can get more one-on-one time with teachers and instructors unlike other universities. Opportunity. An environmentally concerned campus with tons of activities and events in relation to one's interests.

Categories Comments Bang for the buck The price of tuition is hard to beat in these tough, economic times. They are priced fairly and offer many services for the cost.
What to do for fun There are many clubs available. The college hosts plays, concerts, and speakers on a normal basis.
Food and Dining There is a basic cafe style/breakfast/lunch/dinner area. The staff are friendly and the food is always decent.
Dorm Life I have never lived in the dorms, but have heard good things.
Academic Rigor The college is challenging, but with all the tools available to students, there is no reason anyone should have problems making their grades.
Tips for prospective students Be sure to take advantage of the helping staff. There are so many resources available and all you have to do is ask for help.
In three sentences The staff is always willing to lend a helping hand. There are numerous classes to fit any schedule and the schooling is flexible. The professors are understanding and caring of students, especially the adult students who have much going on.

Categories Comments In three sentences Clinton is a great school but the president is driving the school into the ground. I am at risk of not being able to finish my degree because of him wanting to lay off teachers and get rid of courses and majors.
