    Am learning a lot

    To be honest I love this school. The professors are great and they are very willing to work with you based on grades. This is a great school for those new students that would like to raise their GPA up.
    Am enjoying being here

    It's a excellent school and it's really what you make of it.
    Bang for the buck

    If you're looking for a school that will help you save money and is worth paying for it's def WCC because they are willing to work with you to the extreme.
    Great for these types of students

    Its great for students that have a learning disability and also for students that are looking to benefit from their education.

    This school is awesome. They have very supportive staff, who respond quickly to your needs as well as some of the best teachers I've ever encountered. Their campus is also amazingly beautiful and I feel very welcomed there.
    Tips for prospective students

    Go for a walk round campus some time. It's lovely. Also don't shy away from online math classes, even if you aren't good at math. The teachers are very helpful and so is the tutorial center. Just be prepared to work and you'll be getting A's in no time.
    Academic Rigor

    They take their science classes very seriously, so be prepared to hit the book. That goes double if you have professor Casella but you will learn a whole lot.
    Food and Dining

    The cafeteria is awesome. They also have a cafe in the new gateway building that I've yet to visit.
    What to do for fun

    Hang out on campus or in the cafeteria during the week. You might spot someone singing and playing the guitar.
    Great for these types of students

    Young and old. People with kids or with out. Just everyone really.
    Clubs and Activities

    I'm looking forward to joining the future nurses club.
    Greek Life

    Ummmmm. I don't know if they have any of those.
    Campus Safety

    I've never encountered anything questionable happening here.

    Most of the professors for the science courses are very good and are willing to spend extra time outside of class to help you. The Science and math tutorials are also great resources, but they occasionally do not have enough tutors.
    Tips for prospective students

    See your professors for extra help as well as the science tutorial. Also, make friends in your classes who are doing well so that you can study in groups.
    Academic Rigor

    I found the science courses to be extremely rigorous, but that is because I have no particular knack for it. I cannot speak of other subjects.
    Dorm Life

    It's a commuter school. No dorms.
    Food and Dining

    The food is pretty bad and limited in variety. Even the coffee is so so.
    What to do for fun

    Not much on campus. Sports facilities are sub par, but the city of White Plains is close by and there's lots of stuff to do there.
    Bang for the buck

    You'll get your money's worth, academically speaking . The cost of a full semester course load at WCC is equal to one course at a private school. I have met plenty of people who are transferring to Ivy league schools.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    The Gateway Building is the newest addition to the school and has a very modern vibe to it.
    Great for these types of students

    If you want an Associates degree in something or want to complete your core courses before transferring to a four year school this is the place to go since you will save a lot of money. It's also great for people who already have a degree and need additional academic experience in order to enter another field or to apply to graduate school.
    Clubs and Activities

    I was in the Premedical Professionals Club and the Chemistry Club. Both offered catered lectures from people in the field and field trips. We went to the Pfizer Pharmaceutical plant in Rockland and saw how they make Centrum vitamins. We also had an expert in forensics from the Westchester County Medical Examiners Office show us how how he solved a few murders.
    Greek Life

    No frats or sororities that I know of.
    Campus Safety

    Security guards are always around and the campus is pretty much empty at night since there are no dorms and night classes end at around nine.

    Academic Rigor

    The campus itself is huge and very attracting. The teachers are very helpful and want you to succeed. I am glad i attended this school.
    Tips for prospective students

    Some helpful tips I would give to prospective students would be if you drive, to at least arrive an hr early to find parking. Also to attend extra-curricular activities because the students there are very friendly.
    Dorm Life

    there are no dorms on campus or near
    Food and Dining

    there are a couple of restaurants and fast food places around but you would need a car.
    What to do for fun

    I would highly suggest joining some clubs or you can hit the fitness gymnasium.
    Bang for the buck

    It's a community college so the price of tuition is very cheap compared to universities but you get a campus full of action and fun. There is always something to do there.
    Great for these types of students

    It would be great for those type of students whom want to complete an associates degree or those who want to transfer to a 4 - year school. It's especially helpful if you want to transfer to a SUNY school since its part of the SUNY schools most of your credits apply to any SUNY University.
    Clubs and Activities

    They have clubs ranging from Computer Clubs to Salsa (dancing) Clubs.
    Greek Life

    NONE
    Campus Safety

    They have on-site police and in my years of attending I have not witnessed anything drastic.

    Am learning a lot

    I'm in the Nutrition Associate's Degree program at WCC, and I love it! My teachers are so helpful, and I knew I could always get extra help if I needed it.
    Tips for prospective students

    Always get help from the teacher's if you need it, they're yu're lifeline in the class and they know what their doing. Also, try to find a few people in your class who you can study with, it helps to have friends in multiple classes to hang out with between long stretches of no classes.
    Great for these types of students

    Driven, self sufficient, hard workers, commuters
