    Did learn a lot

    Yes, I learned alot from CCC when I attend it during the 90's

    Did enjoy being here

    Yes I did, CCC was like a family to me when I was studying at CCC.

    Bang for the buck

    CCC offers student on campus jobs while taking courses.

    Tips for prospective students

    I, surely recommend CCC for others.

    Great for these types of students

    CCC is an equal opportunity to all races and it sure proudly open to all.

    Colby has done nothing but helped me with every question I've had about admission to financial aid, all the way to taking online classes. Every person I have talked to has been so friendly and seems to really enjoy helping me with all of my questions or concerns. I am excited to get started for and represent Colby Community College on June 4th, 2012.

    Tips for prospective students

    Don't procrastinate and get all of your application materials in promptly and on time.

    Academic Rigor

    The teachers are great, I know the courses will be tough, but all the instructors have told me numerous times to talk to them if I have any questions.

    Dorm Life

    I did not live in Colby.

    Food and Dining

    I have not eaten on campus.

    What to do for fun

    I am taking Colby's outreach nursing program in WaKeeney, KS. Things to do for fun here is go to the dirt track races, hang out with friends, and go see movies in Hays.

    Bang for the buck

    College is expensive, yes. Colby has seemed to make it all worth it for me so far! I am very excited to get started. I have felt like I wasted a lot of money at other colleges, but so far I am happy with every cent I have given to ColbyCC.

    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    I am taking the outreach nursing program in WaKeeney, and most other schools don't do the outreach programs. It is so awesome that Colby is doing this for surrounding communities, because some people don't want to move from their home towns.

    Great for these types of students

    This school is great for traditional and non-traditional students.

    Clubs and Activities

    The outreach programs don't have clubs and activities that I know of, but I know the campus has a lot of different things for students to do.

    Tips for prospective students

    Colby Community College is for students who want to aquire an Associates degree or just want to take some courses to transfer to a four year school. It's a great school to get started at.

    Academic Rigor

    Some courses are challenging but there are courses that aren't as hard as they could be

    Dorm Life

    If you can afford it, live in the new dorms. They are more modern, updated and spacious. The old dorms have very close quarters.

    Food and Dining

    After eating cafeteria food for almost a year, it gets old. This is because they tend to serve the same food every once in a while. There is a variety, but not a whole lot.

    What to do for fun

    Go to the bar, watch athletic games, hang out with friends, bowling, movies, shopping, museum, swimming

    Bang for the buck

    This college is located out in the middle of nowhere. However, I have learned it's not the location that matters but the people. It's because of all the friends I've made that college life in the middle of nowhere is bearable and even fun.

    Great for these types of students

    Those who are just starting college, in a sport (athletic scholarships!!), want a small college, and who can't afford to go to a four year school.

    Clubs and Activities

    Circle K, Band, Sunflower Singers, Student Government, Equestrian Team, Academic Bowl Team

    Greek Life

    Phi Theta Kappa, Phi Beta Lambda, Alpha Rho Tau

    Campus Safety

    One security guard on duty during the day. If there is a threat on campus, the college will do all they can to keep the students safe.

    Colby is awesome place to learn. The faculty is always willing to go out of the way to help each student succeed. A marvelous community college.

    Tips for prospective students

    Pay attention in class, Teachers always share part of their personal life. If you can remember these things, the teachers know you are paying attention, they may work as extra credit when you need it most.

    Academic Rigor

    The schedule is tight but using your time wisely you can still have time for yourself after the work is done. The teachers do have a conscience, even if they don't show it.

    Dorm Life

    There are no dorms in the Norton outreach campus.

    Food and Dining

    All food is off campus. Attitudes and Town and Country are the only family dining. Of course there is alway Pizza Hut, McDonald's, and Subway.

    What to do for fun

    Norton has a pool open from Memorial day til Labor day. Sebelius Lake for fishing, boating, skying, and swimming. And there is always Norton Theater/

    Bang for the buck

    Get to know the clinical staff if you are in the nursing program. There is always a chance to get more hands on for clinicals

    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    The Norton Campus is moving, as of July 2012 we will be in the newly renovated building just for the Nursing program in Norton.

    Great for these types of students

    Nursing students at the Norton campus have a far better chance of observing an operation.
