Even though this is a community college, the classes are still difficult and are essentially the same classes at four-year universities so don't slack off.

Even though it is a cheap community college DO NOT over look applying for scholarships. Don't listen to your friends who say you don't even go to a real school because in the future they will be paying back debt while you go on vacation.

Look up teachers before you select your class. Most teachers are fine but there are a few bad apples in the mix.

Do not order books until you are offcially notified by your professor what to have for the course. Some courses may say a book is required, but you find yourself not really needing to purchase the book at all.

When you want to choose a teacher, go look up rate my prof. They will have very useful reviews about the teachers, so make sure you get a good one. There is a tutoring center, use it often it is free.
