    I am a current student and I enjoy CFCC very much. The teachers (for the most part) are amazing and I have found my time to move very quickly. We have a VA lounge; which is solely for Veterans and/or their dependants, with myself being a dependant. I give CFCC a 5 star rating.
    Tips for prospective students

    Be prepared. Have a list of questions ready when you enroll, no matter how mundane you may believe the question to be if you don't ask you'll never know. Think of questions that cover everything from financial aid, to online classes to work study...etc.
    Academic Rigor

    I give it 4 star's only because your classes are only as hard as you make them. If you are committed to progressing with you education then you should have no problem. BUT that doesn't mean that you won't have a class that will completely blow your mind. Just be open to learning and enjoy all of the different personalities that surround you.
    Dorm Life

    There are no dorms at CFCC, but there are plenty of downtown housing in walking distance to the school.
    Food and Dining

    There are plenty of places to eat around the college and the cafeteria has very good food at a very reasonable price.
    What to do for fun

    There are plenty of organizations and clubs to join. Also if you are into the club scene then there are plenty of places to check out in the downtown Wilmington and surrounding beach areas.
    Bang for the buck

    I believe that I have definitely gotten my moneys worth; if I could repeat this experience again...I would
    Clubs and Activities

    There are plenty of clubs for every subject possible and if there isn't one then you can find out the proper protocol and start your own club.
    Campus Safety

    No issues that I can recall.

    CFCC is a great community college,located in a great city, great area of the city and has a variety of majors to choose from. The website is very informative and you get quick responses if you submit questions. I have enjoyed the small classrooms, which made learning more personable.
    Tips for prospective students

    Research the area as this is strickly a coastal town with lots to distract you from your studies. Have in mind what you want to major in and determine if this is one of the top schools for that program as it does feature a few.

    Cape Fear Community College is great to work with, provides excellent teachers, and has two great campuses. In the heart of Wilmington, Cape Fear Community College is surrounded by great places to relax and spend time.
    Tips for prospective students

    Try checking out the North Campus of Cape Fear Community College. It is a very new, nice facility.

    Though they're quite rigorous with their teaching, the professors at Cape Fear Community know how to work with their students.

    There is no dorm life, and I'd say that is pretty good.

    Downtown Wilmington is a great historic place to learn about history. There is an abundance of restaurants, and quite a few clubs associated with the school.

    Students who are looking to save money getting a two-year degree or are looking to transfer are going to like Cape Fear.

    north campus cafeteria 3 stars. downtown 2 stars lunch has gone down spring 2012 semester. the atmosphere is why i gave 4 stars. if, you attend downtown you can eat outside in the courtyard. north campus has a nice cafeteria, or you can eat outside on any bench.
    What to do for fun

    live in the northern part of the county and enjoy taking my dog for walks at the new smith creek park. there is a small pond perfect for kayaking or canoeing. wonderful walking/biking trail goes all the way around the pond. plenty of benches to sit on, if you need a break. several doggy stations available with trash can and plastic baggies for the throwing away waste. ample parking. covered picnic area, restrooms and playground are in one area.
