    Campus Safety

    There is only one entrance to the campus itself, and that is always attended by either the front desk clerk or a security guard. It is across a courtyard from the public library, so there are a lot of loiterers, however. The parking lot is well-lit at night and patrolled by security guards, so you don't have to worry while getting to your car.
    Clubs and Activities

    There are no clubs or extra activities at CCC.
    Great for these types of students

    Recent high school graduates, people with a GED, and adults seeking to better their life are very common at CCC. Also, over 90% of the student body is Native American.
    Bang for the buck

    The staff at CCC really care about getting you the best education possible. The monitor your grades to make sure they don't drop, and make sure you can graduate on time. Through the CCC2NAU program, you can transfer to Northern Arizona University quickly and easily, but you can get up to 2 years of college under your belt for less than 1/4 of the cost of a university.
    What to do for fun

    In and around the Page area, you have Lake Powell, a beautiful desert oasis with white sand beaches and lots of boating and watersports activities. Iconic sights abound, including Glen Canyon Dam, Rainbow Bridge, and Tower Butte, just to name a few. Less than a four hour drive away are the Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, Zion National Park, Monument Valley, Flagstaff, Arizona, Brian Head ski resort, and many more. The view from anywhere in Page is panoramic; you can see Navajo Mountain and the Vermillion Cliffs from almost anywhere in town. If you want to go to college somewhere scenic for cheap, this is your town.
    Food and Dining

    Since the Page campus is commuter-only, there is no food but your own. However, the restaurant in Page are great. There is everything from authentic Thai food to Texas barbecue. During the tourist season, you have your pick of fast-food and fine dining.
    Dorm Life

    At the Page campus, there are no dorms. The small student body makes finding friends easy for anyone, but extremely optional. For the commuters, everything is about getting into class and leaving as soon as you have taken care of your business there. If you want to be social, that's available too, but nothing requires you to socialize out of the classroom.
    Academic Rigor

    Depending on the instructor, classes are fairly relaxed. You can put all you have into a class, or you can go with the flow. This school is for nearly everyone, and your teachers will accommodate your learning style.
    Tips for prospective students

    Just get your foot in the door! The staff are excellent and friendly. They will help you with anything you need; all you have to do is ask. They want to help you succeed, and they love seeing you happy as you achieve that.
    In three sentences

    CCC is a great way for a recent high school graduate to get ahead in life. It is flexible and affordable. It is also fantastic for adults looking to improve their prospects.

    What to do for fun

    There's clubs with the college. Outside of the college there's tons of outdoor activities to be discovered, and that's how Flagstaff is seen as overall is an outdoor activity place.
    Food and Dining

    There are vending machines and a grill on campus but with a few minutes drive the choice for food and dining expand.
    Dorm Life

    No dorm.
    Academic Rigor

    Within your chosen degree plan, after your prerequisites majority of the classes are focused on that degree.
    Tips for prospective students

    Apartments can be hard to find around the beginnings of each semester so its best to start searching immediately.
    In three sentences

    CCC is the perfect introductory college or in pursuit for a 2 year degree. Their advisors are very helpful in selecting the degree path that's right for you, and also, when choosing your classes that fit your schedule. The advisors are nice and quick about answering your questions and setting you on the right path.

    There are cameras all over the campus so leaving vehicles unlocked around here isn't really a huge issue.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    The location is gorgeous. Were in Flagstaff so of course its going to be beautiful.

    What to do for fun

    I again, do not live at the main campus. Being in Flagstaff, the nightlife and such is incredible, plus there is so much outdoor activies centered at the colleges. Take advantage!
    Food and Dining

    I do not attend the Lone Tree Campus, but when I have visited, the food and options available has been great! Many options and varieties!
    Dorm Life

    There is no dorm at my location, but what I have heard about the others is great!
    Academic Rigor

    I have pushed greatly beyond what I thought was possible, and gained so much confidence! Push yourselves!
    Tips for prospective students

    Apply early! If you are paying out of pocket, get the ball rolling 3 to 4 months ahead! You can do payment plans with as little as 10% down! Also, wait till the first day of class to order books. Lots of teachers decline using the books listed, so wait! Also, order books at Amazon, Chegg or Ebay (safely). The amount you save on books is incredible!
    In three sentences

    Wonderful in giving me an adequate education, while keeping it personal. You gain networking experience and educational experience, while not sacrificing one on one time with professors and students. I have enjoyed my time here greatly!

    Campus Safety

    I love the campus security. The guys are super nice and understanding. They will help you out if you ever need anything like lock your keys in the car. I made friends with one of the older security guys, I forget his name but he was wonderful, if I ever got a parking ticket I would talk to him and he was very understanding and let it slide.
    Great for these types of students

    Great for students who live nearby or want the 4 year year degree but not at the cost. I highly recommend their nursing program if you are interested. It is amazing.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    The campuses are both small so there are not any unusual locations at either one. The only one I can think of is the LT campus is on a steep hill and when it snows you better make sure your transportation can make t up that hill or you're missing class.
    Bang for the buck

    I like that I can get the same education as a high priced university and only pay a small fraction of that. You really save a lot of money at this school.
    What to do for fun

    I am sure there are alot of things to do for fun at this school, I just personally have never looked into it. Its different than a university so probably not very much.
    Food and Dining

    They changed the dining in the school a couple times. But whatever they change it to the food is great! The only thing is it is far away from any fast food places if you want to leave class to get something to eat.
    Dorm Life

    This is not a university so there is no dorm life.
    Academic Rigor

    A lot of the classes I took for my program I felt I had wasted my money on and didn't learn from the teachers because honestly they just were not very good at teaching. But most of my classes taken here were awesome and were challenging but able to pass. The teachers want you to pass!
    Tips for prospective students

    My tips for prospective students would be to get to know the school. There are a lot of great clubs and organizations to be apart of. Make sure the school has the major you want and if you qualify for finaid. Never be afraid to speak to an advisor. I spent 50% of my time speaking to advisors and they were so helpful. I was the student that kept wanting to change her major.
    In three sentences

    CCC is an amazing college. The staff is so kind and always wanting to help. The environment is very relaxed and makes it easier to focus on your studies.

    The campus is pretty safe, there are cameras on a lot of the campus and the security is at the front of the campus.
    Greek Life

    I do not think that there are any sororities/fraternities on campus.
    Clubs and Activities

    I am not sure of how many actual clubs there are, but I know that there are quite a handful.
    Great for these types of students

    This college is great for students who are comfortable with small class sizes. I also would say that this school is for those who decide to return to school after taking some time off (in other words, there are several students who are past their twenties).
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    I was surprised that there are several dances, or balls, on campus.
    Bang for the buck

    The classes that I have taken here were good to take and were a lot cheaper to take than at the university, considering that a lot of the information is the similar.

    There are several clubs that you can join.
    Food and Dining

    There is a small cafe located on campus which has some satisfactory foods, but is a little pricey.

    Housing is not provided for this college.
    Academic Rigor

    Classes that are associated with majors are more difficult than the prerequisite classes such as Intro classes, but the instructors are willing to help you with any questions you may have. There are also tutors available in the LEC who can help.
    Tips for prospective students

    Make sure that you are taking classes that you need for your degree! There are several student advisers in the Learning Enhancement Center (LEC) that are there to help you choose and even schedule your classes.
    In three sentences

    Coconino Community College has a small student body, so you are able to have a one-on-one learning experience with your teacher. There are are several opportunities here for you to further yourself besides education, such as career fairs and clubs. If you ever have any questions or problems concerning your education, there is someone there to help.

    Except for dining on campus, I would give C.C.C. five stars.

    Food and Dining

    Off campus there are many great places to eat. On campus there is only one place for food and the prices are kind of steep.

    No personal experience! However, student housing is available for anyone who is attending C.C.C., you just have to apply.
    Tips for prospective students

    If you ever find yourself lost, as in you don't know who to ask or where to go, just take a minute to go to the student services desk, and they will either have the answer you need or will know who to ask. They are very helpful and if your not sure where to find them, you can ask at the security desk right inside the main entrance. They have maps and can show you right where to go.

    Tips for prospective students

    If you don't wanna be spending so much money for the same classes that you would be getting from a regular University, then a community college is the place especially since you can get almost every class that a University would offer, and the teachers have the same if not better experience than University teachers.
    In three sentences

    It cost very little for the same knowledge given at a University. There is no stressing, because most of the instructors are very helpful. Registering is very simple, and help for classes is very easy to get.

    the nightlife of flagstaff is comparable to much larger towns. there are many microbreweries and bars downtown to choose from. if you are like myself, and greatly value nature and/or outdoor activities you will never be disappointed. every single person that has come to visit me has found it easy to fall for the laid back, awesome lifestyle of this great college town!

    many places around town have great food. the old route 66 ventures straight through the heart of flagstaff. because of which, there is a perpetual flow of tourists who support the food and beverage industry, giving the native flagstaffonians a wide assortment of great food to choose from.

    Being at the college isn't too bad, but its not the best. I do, however, love living in Flagstaff and I have been blessed with great roommates.
    Am learning a lot

    So far, in all of the classes that I have taken from Coconino, I am walking away from the semester with having learned nothing. I feel like if i have to pay that much money for schooling that i should actually be taught. It has been frustrating.
