Bang for the buck	As of now, I am enrolled in Copper Mountain College and I do not have to pay for tuition. I am also receiving a grant, which pays for all of my books and supplies. So, I am making money by going to college!
What to do for fun	At CMC there are not a lot of activites and adventures to go on. The only things I know are trips that individual clubs and organizations do.
Food and Dining	Other than Bruce's Coyote Kitchen, which is like a small overpriced cafeteria, there are only a few vending machines to be found.
Dorm Life	There are no dorms or apartments provided through Copper Mountain College.
Academic Rigor	The academics are taken very seriously here. Teachers are professional and will drop any students that dont conduct themselves in an appropriate manner. They're are still very concerned about each students education, and are very easy to talk to about anything. All classes are challenging, but in the end I have grown so much and understand the the material well.
Tips for prospective students	Make sure you apply for the FAFSA whether you think you will get financial aid or not, because it always seems to work out in the student's favor.
In three sentences	Copper Mountain College has an amazing staff thatis always willing to help you and figure out your problems. The amount of Financial Aid I got was beyond what i expected, in a great way. I would reccommend this College to anyone who wants a quiet, small, hands on classroom.

What to do for fun	Absolutley nothing, and if so, they dont make the students aware.
Tips for prospective students	It is a good school, but if you can afford it I would attend College of the Desert instead. You may have to commute, but it's worth.
In three sentences	The instructors range from fantastic to terrible influences. I have found it very hard to get started here, because they dont provide enough information. I have heard, from many studednts, that it was a very frustrating experience trying to attend this college, but it is our only option.
