Am learning a lot
You learn quite a bit. The professors are super nice and willing to help you no matter what. The professors really know what they are teaching and are passionate about their subjects. This really helps when they are helping you and teaching since they put all they have into their work.
Am enjoying being here
It is ok, considering it is a community college. It is definitly not the typical college experience however, it is still very social and a good, CHEAP, jumping point for the rest of your college carreer.
Bang for the buck
Being a community college, it is very cheap. You are looking at around $4000 a year. It is definitely worth saving the money considering most people are live at home while attending. The only costly thing will be food. The cafeteria runs about $5+ for a meal while the meals aren't that great to begin with.
Tips for prospective students
Be prepared and don't slack off. Even though its a community college, its still college. There is still work involved and attendance is almost mandatory. It is also a good idea to stay on the good side with your teachers. Most of the professors are down to earth, nice people. The more you get to know them, the better off you will be in class as well as down the road if you need a reference when transferring.
Great for these types of students
This is a good school for self-starters and people looking to get a good jumping point. It is also good if you are looking for a cheap starting point like me. I know that I would be able to survive at a university easily, however it was price that drew me here.
