    Will learn a lot

    The majority of my friends attend GCC and they have found that they learn a great deal from their professors, both in and out of the classrooms. The professors generally move at an acceptable pace that is tolerable for all students.
    Will enjoy being here

    Although students may not get to enjoy living on their own in a dorm setting, the campus is beautiful and the faculty does much to keep it in such pristine condition. All of the advisors are extremely helpful and are always available for a walk-in consultation. They are always courteous on the phone and do everything in their power to make sure whatever issue you may have is resolved.
    Bang for the buck

    Although many students attend GCC on the NJ Stars program, even those who must pay the full tuition will find that it is not a hefty cost. At around $2000 per semester, GCC offers an education that cannot be beat.
    Tips for prospective students

    Do not be afraid to ask your advisors questions, they have most likely heard it all before and will be more than capable of answering any inquiry you may have. As for that matter, do not be afraid to ask fellow students for help either. Everyone has a general sense of compassion and helpfulness.
    Great for these types of students

    Great for students who are not ready to leave home yet, as well as students with frugal families that are looking to get a prime education for a small amount of money.

    Am learning a lot

    I am currently a student in Gloucester County's Teachers 2000 Program. The schedules for this program are a bit different than those of a regular full time student and as a result it is hard to find teachers willing to teach a. very early or b. accelerated courses. We tend to have very good adjunct teacher or very poor ones. I guess it is simply luck of the draw.
    Am enjoying being here

    The school itself does have a lot to offer, from athletic programs, to clubs, to on campus jobs and activities. More often than not there is something that a lingering student can get involved in and really enjoy. The school size is large enough where you have the opportunity to meet a bunch of new people, yet small enough that you can see some of your high school classmates in passing. Just like any school it has not so great people and great ones as well.
    Bang for the buck

    I can not complain about the cost because I am member of the NJ Stars program, so basically I attend for free. The cost for a regular student is not too bad however, and with little to no help I can imagine one would be able to swing the cost with the help of the school's payment plan. As far as Bang for the Buck I'd say your best bet would to go onto ratemyprofessor.com and take a look at who is teaching the class and their reviews. The better the teachers obviously the more you will get for your money. Try your best to build your schedule around the better educators, so that you can have the best educational experience possible!
    Tips for prospective students

    Prospective Students should be aware that they must look out for themselves especially with graduating and transferring. Even though the school is not huge, you can still get lost in the cracks. Some times it even seems as though the councilors are overwhelmed with the number of students they are responsible for. So, stay on top of your own plans, and do not be afraid to as questions.
    Great for these types of students

    GCC is great for students who are not quite sure what they want to do, or what college they'd like to attend. It provides a relatively inexpensive opportunity to continue education while working and still living at home. I took the opportunity to find the right 4 year school for me, and now I feel confident to move on without the pressure that is placed on the typical high school graduate.

    Gloucester County College houses some prestigious degrees such as their nursing programs. However if you are pursing a degree in Computers look else where. Their lack of hands on training and updated material is shameful.
    Tips for prospective students

    Attend classes, never miss and be sure to do homework even if it is not graded.
    Academic Rigor

    Most of your teachers are helpful and understanding. They have a free tutor center to take advantage of as well. With any college you will run into some who don't work to well with students.
    Dorm Life

    GCC does not provide on campus dorms it is a community college.
    Food and Dining

    Although I have only eating at their actual cafeteria once, they do have a chick-fil-a. Which most people tend to enjoy. They do have options and a pretty good sized seating area.
    What to do for fun

    GCC has sports such as baseball, wrestling, track, tennis etc. They have a wide range of clubs and other actives to get immersed in.
    Bang for the buck

    Being a community college it provides basic courses to get an associates or certificate programs. With the flexibility to eventually transfer the tuition is low costing.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    None that I am aware of.
    Great for these types of students

    Anyone trying to peruse a degree at a low cost, or preparing to transfer to a 4 year university.
    Clubs and Activities

    A decent amount of clubs and actives for a community college. They are however very active.
    Greek Life

    No Greek Life.
    Campus Safety

    Good Security always lively, with emergency buttons located around campus.

    Am learning a lot

    I've loved every class and professor. Always thorough, always making sure every student is up to the pace. Same education as anywhere else, but I think the teachers care a lot about their students. It shows.
    Am enjoying being here

    I really am enjoying GCC. Close to home, low cost, and friendly faces. What more can you ask for in a school ?
    Bang for the buck

    It's a community college, so of course classes are going to be worth it. But the school offers so many extra programs. For example - every week a free yoga class, daily tutoring, career help and guidance. Tons of clubs for whatever your interest. The school has a lot to offer. And almost all credits transfer to other NJ schools.
    Great for these types of students

    All.

    Am learning a lot

    Although I have only been here a week, I am impressed with the integrity of the professors. They are determined to get the students educated, and I am happy that I made the switch from Montclair to here. I am excited to go to school, rather than dreading each day, and this is a first for me.
    Am enjoying being here

    Compared to my old university, GCC seems to have golden streets. I am so happy that I am here because I see all of my old friends from high school, and it is close to home. Everybody that I have encountered on campus has been friendly, and it has been a while since I have experienced this.
    Bang for the buck

    GCC is cheap, and it is very nice. I do not see trash on the ground, or things written on the desks or walls. It is very well-kept and the professors each do their job beyond expectations. There is always someone there to help you along the way if you need it, and I am very thankful for that.
    Tips for prospective students

    Go to the college that you feel is right, and definitely remember that Gloucester County has a lot to offer. I feel that GCC offers the same services as any university that I have visited or attended, and it is much cheaper. It is not really the 13th grade that everybody from high school talks about, because there are so many people going to GCC. Gloucester County does not only consist of the people in your high school, so you are able to meet other people in the county.
    Great for these types of students

    If you are undecided as to what your major should be, then GCC is a great choice. Most of the time, students pick a university that is known for having a good program with the major that they are interested in. If you are unsure, then there is no use in wasting the money to go to a four-year college. GCC offers everything and anything that you can imagine at a four-year school, but without dorms. It is perfect if you want to stay close to home, but don't want to live at home, because you could possibly get an apartment with the money that you are saving.
