    Tips for prospective students

    make sure to go to class; the professors are great, and if you don't go to class, you can miss some really important stuff!

    Food and Dining

    the on campus food is really good, though it can be a bit pricey. the cafe isn't run by the college itself, but an outside company. loading cash onto your flcc id card to eat in the cafe is a smart idea, because if you use that rather than cash or a credit card, they take off the tax.
    What to do for fun

    there is a lot of stuff to do around canandaigua. kershaw park on the north end of canandaigua lake is just a 5-10 minute walk from campus; during the warmer months, they open a beach with lifeguards (it only costs $1 to get in) that has a huge building with changing rooms, bathrooms and a snack bar. there are tons of sport teams on campus, and games are free for students.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    the honors house, where all the honors classes are held is a great place. the place is set up with a couple of lounges with big, overstuffed couches, a kitchen that is always stocked with coffee and tea for students and professors, and all the classrooms are set up so everyone sits in a circle, rather than rows.r
    Clubs and Activities

    the club life is huge, with clubs ranging from victory (a christian club) to the z.a.s.c. (zombie apocalypse survival club) and everything in between. clubs often do a lot of fundraising during the fall and early spring semesters to raise the money to go on trips later in the spring.

    finger lakes community college is a great college. it is especially great for those looking for minimal distractions and are looking for a college where they can stay focused. this community college is a great place to begin the first two years of your college education then transfer to a 4 year college if you chose to.
    Tips for prospective students

    prospective students should decide whether or not they will transfer to a 4 year college after they are done with their 2 years at flcc. if this is the case, i would recommend researching and planning for a successful transfer. if the school you are thinking of is not a suny school, they have until their second year at flcc to decide where they would like to go.
    What to do for fun

    at flcc, there are plenty of places to dine. there is a mall that is about 15 minutes away, and there are also other small recreation places to enjoy such of a movie theater and a bowling alley.
    Clubs and Activities

    at flcc, there are clubs for just about any hobby.

    finger lakes community college is a great place to start your education path in college and earn a degree. they have campuses in 3 different counties making it easy to find classes that fit your needs and schedule. so far, my experience has been great, along with my success!
    Tips for prospective students

    if you are still in high school, i'd recommend taking any college courses that your high school may offer because that's what i did and i came into finger lakes community college with a semester already done. if you're looking for an affordable college, flcc is the one. it's a great place to start out and the course and degree selection is immense.
    Academic Rigor

    a lot of people say that community college is not as hard as other colleges, but i don't believe that is true! a lot of the courses i've taken through flcc so far have been tough but a good challenge. these courses are no different then those in state schools.
    Dorm Life

    currently, i don't live on campus because it's close enough to where i can commute. although, i've heard from my friends who live on campus that the dorm life is fun and that you can make a lot of good friends here.
    Food and Dining

    the cafeteria at flcc has a wide variety of foods, pretty much anything you could want. the chefs make everything as you order it, so everything is always hot and fresh. you can personalize any sandwhich, or meal. literally, anything you could want, you can get down at the cafeteria at flcc. their hours are good for a quick snack or a meal, almost anytime.
    What to do for fun

    on campus there is a stage where concerts are held at during the spring and summer. there are also many trails around the campus where you can walk around with friends or just hang out. also, a little off the campus there are many shopping centers and eateries. a major mall and casino are only 20 minutes away. there are many things to do around here!
    Bang for the buck

    community college is a great way to get an education and degree because it is cheaper then a lot of the state schools but still offers the same great education!

    Tips for prospective students

    Well I haven't been there yet, but i have researched them and it's seems like the place I want to be. For future students just go and visit. Don't wait 'til you have to take the placement test to go and see it like i did, just go.
