You will get the most out of your classes when you attend every class. Also, make sure you keep up with your financial aid self-service review because Columbus State is infamous for messing up people's financial aid and admission enrollments.

CSCC is a great school. It is especially a good school to go to if you are transferring to a 4 year university. It allows you to ease in to the bigger university setting. The professors are great, the campus is easy to navigate, and the classes are average size(21-28 or 30 students). You will also save alot of money whether you are taking prerequisite classes to transfer to another school, or just getting an associates degree at CSCC instead of at a University.

Check the professors ratings online, CSCC has good professors, but there are some worth avoiding. Do all the homework, it has a larger impact on your grade that you think. Show up for class. Put some actual effort into the classes.

Just take interest in on-campus resources and you will find yourself in the best place.

* Definitely avoid online classes in math and sciences (and in my experience, speech classes too). This goes for the "blended" partially online, partially in-class courses. * Be prepared to be assertive and say no to people that approach you asking for money for whatever excuse they can conjure up. * There is more than one campus location, choose the one nearest to you for as many classes as you can! Though most intensive courses like math and some sciences won't be available anywhere but the main campus in downtown Columbus. * 16 credit hours is definitely a full work-load, anything more might start to get a bit stressful. Also, try to avoid taking more than 2 classes in a single day as Columbus state lectures tend to be very lengthy.
