Am learning a lot
It's a great learning environment. Thing to remember is , don't be afraid to ask questions. If you don't then you will be stuck. NO ONE IS GOING TO LAUGH AT YOU. Heck, they might've had the same question.
Am enjoying being here
It's very fun and there are many clubs to join. Like the Spanish club for instance..There are a variety of things for extracurricular and even work study!
Tips for prospective students
1. Prepare. Even if you think you packed a pencil, go a head and pack another. You don't want to come to class without one.
2. Review your schedule. This is good so that you aren't missing classes because you forgot where you were supposed to go
3. Take notes. This is very important because a lot of the teachers will tell you whats on the test and sometimes will even let you use your notes in a test. Notes also are key when studying.

Did learn a lot
The teachers were full of knowledge and really wanted to help you learn the subject at hand. If you were serious and worked hard, they were willing to meet you halfway. My teachers did a great job.
Did enjoy being here
Except for some administrative troubles, was a great experience. My counselor was there for me (I was in a scholarship program), the teachers were helpful and it was a pleasant place to go.
Bang for the buck
You learn a good bit for your dollar, and it's a great starter college.
Tips for prospective students
1. Keep on the ball with the paperwork. Administrative problems can happen.
2. Get a good counselor. College isn't something you do alone.
3. Talk to other students about the teachers. Teachers can be hit or miss in some cases.
4. Work hard and don't hesitate to ask for help.
Great for these types of students
Students that want to do their transfer degree before going off to university.
Students that need retraining or more training in their career.
Students that want/need a two-year tech degree.
Students that want/need a certificate.

Am learning a lot
The instructors that I have had are very good at teaching. They try to make sure that the material they teach is well presented and understood. They welcome questions to make sure the material is understood.

I don't like the idea of having to go back to school, but now that I'm here I am making the best of it.
Bang for the buck
I think it's worth the money. If you are there to learn.
Tips for prospective students
Go there with an open mind and a willingness to learn.
