    Class size is small and therefore teachers can give more attention to students. The layout of CMCC is very simple and you can get from class to class easily. Signing up for classes is very easy with CmConnect.
    Tips for prospective students

    Talk to some students that have attended or are currently attending CMCC to see which teachers you should take classes with and teachers you should stay away from. Pick class times that you know you can make it to on time. Try not to miss classes because some classes are hard to make up.
    Academic Rigor

    CMCC has strict plagiarism rules and helps people with medical disabilities attend college. They also have good policies about showing up on time and making sure you attend class (each teacher has their own set of rules). Most of all, CMCC is all about respect and being truthful.
    Dorm Life

    Dorm life can be boring at times and there is not always a lot to do. Be sure to make friends in the dorms because it will make campus life more pleasurable. There are activities almost every night from 9 pm to 11 pm that help keep students active.
    Food and Dining

    The caf does not have a lot of options for food and is fairly limited. However, there are plenty of room and seats to choose from. The people in the caf are also extremely nice.
    What to do for fun

    There are basketball and soccer games on campus that can be watched. There are also activities at night that dorm students are able to attend. There are also fundraisers and drives that people can be involved in.
    Campus Safety

    CMCC campus life is very safe and there are hardly any endangerments. People can be sure that nothing will happen to them. Campus security and others work very hard at keeping everyone safe and do a good job doing their job with this.
