Categories Comments Great for these types of students A great alternative for the cash strapped and for someone who doesn't quite know what to study. The program changes are free, unlike the 4 year schools that charge you if you make too many changes.
Tips for prospective students This is an awesome school with three campuses and great staff!!

Categories Comments Great for these types of students Students low on cash Students who need more personal attention and help from teachers
Tips for prospective students Stay involved. Germanna has a lot of activites for the students enrolled there. Some are just for fun but a lot are very beneficial to you. They keep you well-informed and taken care of as long as you stay in the loop.
Bang for the buck One of the main reasons I chose Germanna is because it is such a great deal for your money. It is much less expensive then a lot of other schools but the education is not cheap. You still receive a high-quality and respectable education.
Am enjoying being here I thoroughly enjoy being at Germanna because it has a very personal atmosphere. Classes are no larger then 30 students so each student gets the attention and assistance that they need. It is not overwhelming and very comfortable to adjust too.
Am learning a lot All of my professors at Germanna make themselves very available and approachable. There are also numerous tutoring services available that are accessible to everyone.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students All students would benefit from Germanna, the college will help instill good study habits and a schedule that is flexible for older students with families.
Tips for prospective students Begin registration for classes as early as possible, take the placement test during the summer and meet with a counselor to discuss your goals, degree program and transfer options.
Bang for the buck Germanna is well priced and has options available for most financial situations.
Am enjoying being here I enjoy going to Germanna, the professors and faculty members are wonderful and truly care about students.
Am learning a lot Germanna Community College is great place to start your journey in academia. As a student you are in charge of how much you will learn from your studies . Depending on how much time you are willing to invest in your classes, you will either gain knowledge and grow or sit back and do only what you need to do to pass the class.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students This college is great for students who are trying to go down the cheapest route possible for college or for those who aren't quite ready to leave home but want to get started with school.
Tips for prospective students Get involved as soon as you can. The different clubs around campuses can be hard to pin down but once you meet someone who is involved or go to a first meeting, you'll find that the atmosphere is great the students really do care about their clubs.
Bang for the buck A GREAT way to start your college career so long as you qualify for in-state tuition. I only spent a couple thousand dollars each semester which is WELL below any four year school.
Did enjoy being here I loved being at Germanna because I was so involved with everything. The trick to really enjoying any college experience is to get involved with activities that really hold your interest. If you can't find any, start your own or try something new. I loved that Germanna had so many events going on even though it was a community college.
Did learn a lot The professors were generally pretty good. They all knew their subjects fairly well and really wanted to help students improve themselves. I ran into a few bad apples but they're few and far between.

Categories Comments Campus Safety The campus is really safe. Nothing ever happens at Germanna Community College
Great for these types of students Its great for students who do not know what they want to do because it gives a broad overview to those students who cannot figure out if they want to go to college or where they want to go to college or even what they want to do in college.
What to do for fun For fun you can go to the movies, go bowling, or go shopping at the mall.

Categories Comments Campus Safety For the most part, it is safe, just watch who you make first with. Some students may still carry the high school or 'badass mentality. All in all, it's what you make of it.
Greek Life None
Clubs and Activities The are plenty, but I was no part of any after the first semester. The Adventure Club is pretty great though!
Great for these types of students Working students, Transfer students looking to build up their GPA, High School students that either can't afford a university, or are making up for a bad High School GPA, etc.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus No traditions that I know of.
Bang for the buck I paid for my entire eduction working part-time. It is definitely worth the money if you are too busy saving money to attend a bigger university.
What to do for fun Meet people, a few sports programs are in the process of starting, etc. The campus isn't too big at all.
Food and Dining It is only a walk away from plenty of fast food restaurants and eateries. (Chipotle, Sonic's, Famous Dave's, etc.)
Dorm Life No dorms.
Academic Rigor It's not too hard if you apply yourself. Most classes go offer the foundations no matter what the level was, so that was a pretty good perk.
Tips for prospective students Everyone is accepted, but don't get in and just flunk out. It's pretty bad because the classes aren't all that difficult. There is plenty of immaturity there though, so I cation you to look for those who actually do their work, or you might ruin this opportunity for yourself.
In three sentences Germanna is a great transition college for those who can not afford to attend a university, or are trying to build up their credentials for a better university to transfer to. Some teachers seem to really care about you, and some other's just their check. But overall, if you are undecided in which career path you want to take, most degree programs are flexible enough for you to get a feel for whatever your niche is.

Tips for prospective students If you take Student Development 100, which is required to attend the school, you should learn more studying tips, etc. Getting a lot of rest before class is always a good thing. Getting a good breakfast will also help with being successful in your classes.
In three sentences It's very close to home so it's convenient. I think the campus is fairly pretty and the administration is really helpful and friendly. I just wish the Stafford Area Campus was more spacious.
