Categories Comments Great for these types of students Good idea for students who want to stay close to home, are not sure what major they wish to choose, and/or trying to save money.
Bang for the buck Chesapeake is not very expensive, and includes oppurtunities on campus for academic success, and learning/improving life skills.
What to do for fun SGA hosts numerous events on and off campus from moon bounces, mini-golf, movie night, and trip to NYC.
Food and Dining Food is average and on the expensive side. Myself, along with other students tend to pack a lunch, as there are two microwaves for use. There is also a Subway across the highway that students will go to for lunch.
Dorm Life There are no dorms.
Academic Rigor Not extremely instense, as I can still skate by in most classes, but there is a fair amount of work. It varies depending on your professors. Be prepared for occassional large projects.
Tips for prospective students Do not underestimate Chesapeake because it is a community college. Go in with an open mind, work hard, and do not be afraid to ask for help.
In three sentences Small campus with many oppoutunities for success. Most professors will take time to get to know you. Excellent transfer advisors to prepare you for transferring to a four-year school.

Categories Comments Greek Life I am a member of Phi Theta Kappa, and we have a meeting every week.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus There is a little Chinese pavilion that was donated to the college from Chine.
Bang for the buck The classes are hands-on and smaller, so a student has a better chance of feeling comfortable and able to pay attention more.
What to do for fun There are constant fun events going on! I have come to campus when there was moon bounces everywhere! There has been days I have seen students playing Frisbee on the lawn and invited me to play too. There are many clubs to join. The computer lab is open late and has many computers if time needed to spent.
Food and Dining The food is not 5 star, but they have the essentials and also daily specials that are delicious (especially on a empty belly).
Dorm Life There are not dorms on campus
Academic Rigor The teachers often give extra credit work to do outside of class which takes time because it can be more challenging than the work in class.
Tips for prospective students - Talk to your teachers so that they know you are a serious student - Do extra credit work - Homework is to be taken seriously - Watch the due dates - Take notes in class - Be on time to class - Ask questions
In three sentences Chesapeake Colleges offers down to earth teachers that are friendly, understanding, and very helpful. The classrooms and facilities are bright and lively which is a great environment for learning. The campus is small enough that you feel comfortable and can get to class quickly.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students If you are an athlete and want to go somewhere where they take their sports seriously, this is the place. We work hard, travel a lot, but still have fun. The teams are family.
What to do for fun Fun is what you make it. I don't have a lot of time for entertainment since I have classes and lots of practice for my sport. But there is shopping, movies, restuarants, nearby and of course parties that you create:)
Food and Dining Since there are no dorms, I live in off-campus housing and am responsible for my own food and dining. Easton is about 15 minutes away and there are tons of restuarants etc...
Dorm Life I live in off campus housing as an athlete, there are no dorms.
Academic Rigor Some of the classes are difficult but that's to be expected, it is college. The classroom size is nice, not big.
Tips for prospective students Be prepared to be out in the middle of nowhere. There aren't a whole lot of things to do, so if you can't make friends and entertain yourself, this is not the place for you. As an athlete, I stay very busy so it's a little bit different.
In three sentences I rate Chesapeake College as a B+. I love the open area, small campus feel: It's a great JUCO especially for people coming from a small high school, plenty of opportunity to adjust to college life and for athletes they have a great sports program.

Categories Comments Food and Dining The food is pretty good and not super expensive. The cheese steaks are to die for.
Dorm Life There are no dorms.
Academic Rigor Every student that I have met that sincerely tries their best has not failed even one single class. The professors are always ready and willing to help all the students that ask for help. There is also a honors program that allows students to be in a much smaller class and allows us to work with other students that sincerely care about their education.
Tips for prospective students Never give up. Don't be afraid to ask for help.
In three sentences This is a great school with strong academics, athletics, and student life. It also is a very clean and beautiful place to learn. It is a school where everyone can go and feel at home at.

Categories Comments Campus Safety There are always the guards riding around on golf carts. I've never seen or heard anything that made me feel threatened.
Great for these types of students Great for students returning to school after a while. Most of my classes are about 50 50 on right out highschool students, and returning students.
Bang for the buck It's cheap which is good but sometimes you get what you pay for with certain teachers.
What to do for fun Um basically nothing.
Food and Dining Food is delicious. A little on the pricy side but for the amount you get and the quality it's worth it. Plus the cafeteria workers are super nice.
Dorm Life There aren't dorms.
Academic Rigor Some classes are harder than others but most aren't that challenging.
Tips for prospective students Get a rain jacket, it's always raining. Get to the school twenty minutes, at least, before your class starts to try and find a parking spot.
In three sentences Chesapeake is a good school for anyone looking to transfer or get their Associates. In some classes the level of skill needed is a little ridiculously low for my liking. The atmosphere is pretty friendly and it's not a big school.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus I don't know about any traditions.

Food and Dining The food has a tendency to be greasy and over priced, but the staff is wonderful!
Dorm Life Well, if we actually had dorms, I'm sure they would be at the same caliber at the classrooms and offices.
Academic Rigor Chesapeake College is a great stepping stone. It will help transition you from high school to college level work in no time.
Tips for prospective students Make sure you keep up on your work and try not to fall behind. Some teachers are forgiving, while others will fail you. Make friends and get involved. It looks really good on a transcript and it helps the staff get to know you better.
In three sentences Chesapeake College is a small, close-knit community, 2-year college that will do almost anything to help you succeed. Helping with work-studies, free drop-in tutoring, and help for students with special needs is their goal. They get on a personal level with the students, even getting to the point of helping them get jobs outside of the college.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students Athletes, part-time students, people returning back to school, job holding people
Tips for prospective students Use your time wisely when you get to college you are going to need a lot of it. Get all the money you can before school starts. Try talking to current or former students on what the school will be like. Study, study, study and do all your work. Work ahead when possible and stay in contact with teachers.
Bang for the buck The price is reasonable but can be a little overwhelming if you aren't in a state to pay or finances take a turn for the worst. Scholarships are available for studenst they just don't offer student loans.
Am enjoying being here There isn't much to do out here, unless you play sports or have a job. The environment is perfect for school though.
Am learning a lot This college has taught me a lot of things that did not know or has taught me things that i need to do better. The most important thing is that college is nothing like high school.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students This campus is great if you want to still live on your own and still receive an education without a high tuition. It is also great for all types of people with different talents. With the flexible class time ,attending Chesapeake College allows you to still maintain a family life, a job, all while bettering yourself
Tips for prospective students 1. Try dual-enrollment while in high school 2. meet with and adviser 3. plan your courses in advance. 4. Stay focus 5. Never base your teachers off of what you hear
Bang for the buck The scholarships that this school offers is great. Many people get full scholarships or close to having everything paid. Because it doesn't include room and board you are not wasting any money. All of the money that is paid is going directly to your education,
Am enjoying being here The atmosphere is wonderful. The people are friendly and all have goals. They are there by choice and not by force which makes this campus better. I formed many friendships on this campus. With the different organizations, there is something for everybody. Although, a small college, the people here have a big heart. They are always doing community service activities and helping out the local counties. In addition, I like the seminars in which are held on campus ranging from help stop smoking, to ways to study and time management.
Am learning a lot The teachers here really know how to teach different learning styles. I have taken online classes as well as regular classes. Every class. the teacher is always available by phone, email, or visit to provide extra help to us students. Most of the teachers even give you their personal home and cell numbers and allow you to call WHENEVER you have a question. In addition, the quality of the learning material is on a college level, and the teachers just don't let you slide. They actually grade the work and help you with your mistakes to make you a better student.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students Athletic, Social, and Friendly
Bang for the buck You get a lot of education for the amount that you pay. You can pay a lot higher college bills to go away for college, but you still get the exact same information, and you do not have to pay for room and board.
Am enjoying being here Everybody who attends this school is very friendly. They are all willing to help if you do not understand. You can meet many new friends and form study groups if you all do not undersand something. There are plenty of places around campus that everybody could meet.
Am learning a lot Every teacher that is employed at this school is willing to sit down with each student and explain things if they do not understand. They will find research to prove their explanations are correct.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students This school is great for students who want to live off-campus and have a job. You can manage your classes and social life very easily. Chesapeake is also great for those interested in nursing or education.
Tips for prospective students If you are considering going to Chesapeake, you should meet with an advisor early. This way you can have a set plan for exactly what you want to accomplish while attending.
Bang for the buck Chesapeake is a very affordable school. You can buy used books to also help lower the price, and at the end of every semester the bookstore will buy back your books.
Am enjoying being here Being at Chesapeake for two years was a great experience. You are able to transition smoothly from high school into college.
Am learning a lot The teachers at Chesapeake are very helpful. They give you many different materials to help you study for tests and learn the information better.
