    Am learning a lot

    I just finished my first semester in college and I must say that I have learned a lot, not only in my classes, but also about myself. College is very different than high school. It is more of becoming an independent student. It is more of learning about yourself and what you can offer to the world.
    Am enjoying being here

    I must say that I love college already! Cosumnes River college has a very friendly environment. Teachers and students get along really well. Safety of the students is the priority. The campus is very nice especially in the Fall when the leaves changes color. There are also stores and restaurants near the campus. What I really enjoy is being able to meet people with different ethnicity.
    Bang for the buck

    As a community college, it is way cheaper than other schools. They have a lot of financial aid available for students. The only negative thing is that the books are overpriced in the student store (Bookstore).
    Tips for prospective students

    Education is very important!
    Take your classes seriously!
    Be ready to become independent in your studies!
    Make friends!
    Have fun!
    Great for these types of students

    Anyone is welcome!

    Am enjoying being here

    I enjoy the campus as well as the online learning environment.
    Bang for the buck

    You will receive a top level education at community college prices.
    Tips for prospective students

    I have attended most of the local colleges in the Sacramento area and Cosumnes is one of the best for many reason! It's a relaxed environment with a very diverse student body. This is a great choice for working adults returning to college. It's very easy to get to off the freeway and it has ample parking in a very close vicinity to all areas of the campus!
    Great for these types of students

    Cosumnes is a great choice for all student. This is a perfect option for working adults returning to college. It's very easy to get to off the freeway and it has ample parking in a very close proximity to all areas of the campus!

    Am learning a lot

    As I am attending Cosumnes River College, I am definitely learning a lot. I know the classes that I have took here are building my general knowledge and helping me work towards my major. I have learned so much about different cultures, philosophies, amazing writing techniques, art, and much more. I love the teachers because they are so enthusiastic about the subjects they teach, which makes learning so much more fun and interesting.
    Am enjoying being here

    I really am enjoying being here because of the atmosphere that the school creates. The school is very diverse, and people are willing to work in classes with people all around the globe, which is very important to me.
    Bang for the buck

    It is definitely worth spending your money. The only complaint I have is that the books are very expensive at the bookstore! Other than that the classes, campus, teachers and environment are totally worth the money.
    Tips for prospective students

    Work hard, concentrate, stay focused and have a goal in mind!
    Great for these types of students

    I think it is great for all students, but especially great for students that like small classrooms and are always ready to learn new information!

    It is a great school to get your general education. Counselors make transferring an easy process. Also, it has many clubs and activities to keep you social.
    Tips for prospective students

    Make sure you set your educational plans with your counselor. Never slack off, your grades are very important. If you need extra help, do not be afraid to ask. Always put school first, your friends and bosses will understand.
    Academic Rigor

    II gave this four stars because anything can be hard if you don't put anything into it, but if you always try your best, and put 100 percent into your work, then you'll do just fine.
    Dorm Life

    There's no dorms! It's a community college. I gave this a five because you can do whatever you want in your own place!
    Food and Dining

    The cafeteria has a wide rage of food, but I gave it two stars because there's only one meal that actually taste good to me, and it's the buritos. They also sell vegetarian food. everything is also over priced! They even make people pay for paper plates. Also, the lady who makes the sandwiches does not clean her station. It in very unsanitary!
    What to do for fun

    I've been here for two years and there is absolutely nothing fun here!
    Bang for the buck

    Students can apply for grants and other aide. There is the Bogfee Waiver, EOPS, and the Lending Library. The Bogfee Waiver pays for a certain percentage of you units, EOPS loans you free textbooks, and gives you a $150 dollar voucher to the bookstore, and the Lending Library loans free textbooks also.

    Intimate class settings allows hands on time with professors. Caring and helpful professors enhance the accessibility of class subject. Interesting and diverse student body.
    Tips for prospective students

    Cosumnes River College is a great stepping stone to a 4 year university, utilize the counseling department to ensure you're on the right path.
    Academic Rigor

    It is up to you to decide how challenging your college experience will be.
    Dorm Life

    No dorms.
    Food and Dining

    Excellent cafeteria conveniently located next to bookstore and cashiers office, many different foods to choose from. Not to mention the various restaurants located near campus.
    What to do for fun

    Join a sport, hang out in the quad, and meet new and interesting people.
    Bang for the buck

    My main reason for going to Cosumnes River College is because of the cost effectiveness of the education. With financial aid and a bog waiver classes are virtually free which really takes the sting out of having to tackle tough classes.

    Great for these types of students

    Determined.

    CRC has excellent professors and courses. I feel that I have received a quality education and am prepared to transfer to a university because of my experiences here. The smaller campus also allows more access to staff and faculty members, as well as to services that help students reach their education and career goals.
    Tips for prospective students

    Select classes that are appropriate for you, but do not be afraid to challenge yourself.
    Utilize all of the services the college offers you, such as counseling, library, etc.
    Your education is being paid for, whether it is by you or someone else. Go to class, pay attention, and do your best. Take it seriously. Just because it is a Community College does not mean it can not get you far.
    Plan and organize, especially in regards to your courses and your attempt to graduate. Be attentive to deadlines, graduation and major requirements, etc.

    Academic Rigor

    There are many transferable courses that challenge the student; however, there are also plenty of very easy classes meant for lower level students. Take the classes that challenge you and that you feel you will actually learn something from, not those you will fly through just to get credit. CRC has much more to offer than that.
    Dorm Life

    There are no dorms because it is a community college.
    Food and Dining

    The cafeteria is appropriately sized for the campus and offers a variety of food options for a decent price.
    What to do for fun

    Students can join clubs and other organizations, participate in events, attend performances, etc. I think there is much more going on around campus than student's realize. Get involved!
    Bang for the buck

    Though prices are rising, it is difficult to complain when students can take the same classes they would at a university for a fraction of the cost. Bookstore prices are over-priced, though, since they are attempting to make a large profit.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    None that I can think of.
    Great for these types of students

    Students who are unsure about their career goals, students who may not have the finances to attend a university at the present time, and/or students who prefer a smaller campus environment will find CRC to be a great school for them.
    Clubs and Activities

    Though I have personally taken part in any, I have heard of many cubs and activities on campus that students seem to enjoy.
    Greek Life

    None.
    Campus Safety

    There is a police station on campus with campus police patrolling regularly. There have been a couple of incidences where the campus has not been safe, but the police are very good about attempting to keep it safe. Because it is a small campus, this is relatively easy to do.

    it's a pretty good school, just have to work around the financial side of it and on average, there are a lot of cool teachers. there are quirks about the classes and schedules but overall, a good school.
    Tips for prospective students

    my tips are to be patient and if you are on the waiting list for a class, stay on it, show up for that class until they tell you they can't add you. chances are people won't show up or they will drop like flies. another thing is if you're not sure what the class you picked is about, go to the first day, listen to the lecture about what you would be doing and then make your choice.
    Academic Rigor

    there are a lot of teachers there who do care, so don't let the bad aspects, outweigh the good. over all, it's a good school and there are people there who want to help if you just ask.
    Dorm Life

    i only put a one star because i live in elk grove and commute by bus, so i don't live in the dorms.
    Food and Dining

    i haven't actually ever eaten there, unless you count vending machines.
    What to do for fun

    there are many, many clubs available to join on the first week, i believe. i think it goes on to the second week. there are shopping centers not too far from the school.
    Great for these types of students

    oh, if you're a film major or theater major and in the area but don't want to go too far, then crc might be a good fit for you. there are so many theater programs at crc, excellent teachers. as for the film, in the los rios district, crc, is the only one who has any film programs.

    cosumnes river college is a great school to attend. they offer as much help as you need and it is available at reasonable times. i am glad to be attending and having set goals of transferring from this college.
    Tips for prospective students

    it's really important that you take advantage of the help provided. they offer tutoring labs and counselors are available to help you with classes. they'll help guide you through your college years and set you on the right path, whether you are transferring or getting your associates degree. also, get involved on campus and familiarize yourself with your professors.
    Academic Rigor

    this is only my second semester attending crc and so far so great. last semester, fall 2011, did serve as a challenge because of family problems but it did not stop me from giving my best. my schedule was open and allowed me to focus on homework and/or study. the classes were fairly easy despite some factors.
    Dorm Life

    i stayed at home and that was a bit challenging. there aren't dorms provided at crc so i give the dorm life one star.
    Food and Dining

    there is a good selection in the cafeteria and at reasonable prices too. they offer salads, drinks, pizza, variety of sandwiches and soups, burritos, etc. the only downside to the menu is that it hasnt changed, so i give the rating a four.
    What to do for fun

    at crc, you can participate in school events. there are different activities held such as club sign ups and promotions, student ambassadors welcome students the first three weeks of school and offer free food and other things, and there is also other events held.
    Clubs and Activities

    clubs are offered at the school that allow students to come together with other students they can relate to according to the club. for example, i recently signed up for the poetry and expressive writing club. other clubs offered are athletic leadership council, cartooning club, entrepreneur club, society of ethics and justice, film club, drama club, etc.
    Campus Safety

    there is always security available on campus and the campus police are very reliable.

    In three sentences I feel like this is my favorite campus from all four Los Rios Community College District even though I have only attended Sacramento City College. This school over various clubs for whatever you are interested in and has a strong community. I recommend this college for more of the focused and calm and collected minded student.
    Tips for prospective students

    For students planning on attending CRC I would recommend meeting up with a counselor with your career goals. I would also recommend coming to the campus before you attend to get a feel for the atmosphere to see if it fits your attitude. I would also recommend not getting distracted by friends or new people you meet it is hard to get classes and harder to get them a second time.
    Food and Dining

    The surrounding area of food is great although majority of it is fast food. There are nice places to eat at around the campus, plus the campus cafeteria has nice food too.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    On campus there are a lot of events for students of all types of ethnicities which makes for a better community.

    Am learning a lot

    The Professors here know their stuff and enjoy what they teach. That goes a long way toward a student's ability to learn. The college is fairly small and the departments only have so many full time Professors. The closer atmosphere adds to the learning experience.
    Am enjoying being here

    I very much enjoy being on my campus. Its a vibrant campus, always featuring speakers, cultural events and music and theatre productions. The campus has plenty of nice, scenic areas to settle down to do homework and the atmosphere is really active and friendly.
    Bang for the buck

    College is always expensive but there are plenty of opportunities here to get discounts, waivers and financial aid. Also, this particular school district has been really good with their money and so we have some of the lowest prices around.
    Tips for prospective students

    If you're going to come here and pay for your classes, do the work and earn the grade. Don't waste your school's, your Professor's or your own time for nothing.
    Great for these types of students

    This campus is a mix of all kinds of people. It's a pretty open, friendly campus and anyone would fit in here.

    Great place to get familiar with your major. The professors are great and the campus makes learning easier for students. Learn from each others perspectives on things. I am math tutor at this college and I learn a lot from the students themselves and their problems. My major is math and learn a lot from students.
    Am enjoying being here

    I spent my first year here and I must say I am really happy. This campus feels like home to me because there are really nice people to talk to and can help me as a friend. Meet interesting people, join clubs, get involved with the community, why else is it called Cosumnes Community College. I spent my fist year here and it was great full with enlightenment. Security is top notch, campus is very open and nice for recreational use. The library is an excellent study area for all students. The professors here are wonderful and show you things you never knew before in the subject they teach. Diversity makes this a excellent school as well. Everyone from Filipinos, Asians, African-Americans, White, Mexican,etc. This school is too cool for me! HAHA!
    Bang for the buck

    Wish they could do better with money. Books are just too expensive. There's textbook store I go to every time instead of the bookstore at Cosumnes River College.
    Tips for prospective students

    Never give up on your goals in life.
    Perseverance and focus is required for some courses.
    Study groups are recommended.
    Get tutored.
    Great for these types of students

    Great for all students. Diversity makes this school really cool. Don't feel left out because students would have similarities with you.
