the class sizes are small and the professors are extremely helpful and go out of their way to provide explanations and assistance. i found the whole school to be very friendly and helpful from president to security officer.

if you need help ask. try to learn about as many resources as you can as early as you can. start a study group in every class and get to know other students.

the courses are rigorous, but the professors are also very helpful and flexible where necessary. if you work hard and put in the time you will get an excellent grade in any class here.

you can live at home. yay! no dorms. rentals reasonably priced all over the city, and the college is in an area with no hills so you can bicycle.

food? i prepare my own food and there are lots of chain and nice family run restaurants in the area. there is a cafeteria, but it has neither a good nor bad reputation.

there are dozens of student clubs doing everything from bowling and bycicling to debates, movies and camping trips. others organize multiple trips each semester to new york, boston or even places like ireland.

excellent financial aid department and numerous scholarships. they also have top notch instructors who are passionate about what they teach, so combine super low tuition with some of the best professors in the state and you get lots of bang for every buck. small classes too.

the president and deans walk around at odd times just to observe what is happening and to chat with a variety of students. they are very well connected with the student body and encourage you to visit them any time.

students who know what they want to do with their lives and will work. the professors will work with you.

the clubs are whatever you make of them. if you are a leader there are dozens of people who will follow. the clubs change every semester based on the changing student body, but there is always a nice selection of very active clubs.

there are two or three major specific greek organizations and the phi theta kappa honors society for community college students who maintain a 3.5 gpa.

the security is very active around the entire campus and parking areas are well lit, open and patrolled.

is inexpensive, yet quality. good for undecided majors. has excellent programs and professors.

this is a great school if you don't know what you want to do and need some time to decide without taking time out of school. the classes are small and the professors are accessible. they have a lot of options for students.

some classes are harder than others. they are typical college level courses, but again, the professors are willing to help. even if your high school performance wasn't necessarily outstanding, it is a completely different feel.

the dining services on campus are not bad. there is a variety to choose from. because it is a commuter school, there are no meal plans, but it is good for going to get something in between classes.

there are many activities on campus that will keep you entertained. the f wing is dedicated to student activities and there are many school sponsored activities/trips.

certainly worth the money. very inexpensive, especially for connecticut residents. there are a lot of financial aid options that the college will help you with.

great for students that are undecided or don't want to spend too much money on college right away. if you want to get some kind of a degree to get started on the right foot.

there is a baseball team, a couple of clubs geared towards people of certain majors, and many others. information about clubs is posted everywhere in the school.

it is a small campus with a lot of security personnel around. the parking lots and hallways are constantly being patrolled and i personally have never had a security problem.

i remember a lot of my fellow high school friends looking down at this community college because it wasn't those big universities but i can honestly say this is a great school. this school not only has great programs like their nursing one but because it's local, it helps a lot of fresh high schoolers who don't know what they want to major in yet and cope with the transition from real . i've attended this college for almost two years now and i highly recommend this college because it's a great school.

try to get classes all planned way ahead of time, i mean like start registering right after the semester has ended because classes come and go really fast.
plan to get your classes within two to three days of the week so that the commute wouldn't waste as much gas and time as oppose to having one class everyday.

great staff, clean, and friendly environment.

there's no dorms.

the cafe food is a bit on the expensive side, i mean when you're hungry and you have no time to go out to get food, this will do but i paid almost $3 for literally 5 small pieces of mozzarella sticks. =/

there's a game room in the f wing of the second floor where students can go and chillax before or after class. there's a billiards table, television, and i think a wii?

the tuition is great here, my financial aid covers all of it every year that i apply and i always get money back for books which can also be applied to the bookstore! the staff in the financial aid office is really helpful too!

lots of clubs!

the safety here is amazing, i always see security on duty no matter what time of the day walking around campus and calling in to check-in their position of where they are at the school.

I am a new student here, I love the campus and students. very helpful, this school rocks! glad I choose to my education here.

it may seem overwhelming with the whole process, but once you are all set up with everything you need to start you will feel at home. the friendly faces, and other peers ready to help you if needed! its an awesome school with so many opportunities in store for you.

very straight foward

a lot of groups to choose from, and if you have a common interest with other peers you can start your own group.

its a good education for a lower cost when you need to get the first 2 years done.

Challenging and fair. When you receive a high GPA, you've earned it and you'll feel so proud of yourself.

Take a hike with the Trailblazers or look for internships that may lead to scholarships. Act in a play or promote a cause you believe in. Participate in the many events offered by Student Activities such as ice cream socials, movie night or volunteer to read on the Cat in the Hat Day.

Many classes transfer to other schools because staff has worked hard to find accredited 4-year schools to accept transfers from Three Rivers Community College. Ask about businesses that offer employment after receiving a degree or certification from TRCC.

All students are welcome and accommodation is made for students who may have disabilities.

Anything you are interested in may already be found in a group or you are encouraged to create your own student group.

Security is friendly and will do their best to assist you in getting to your car or helping recover a lost item.

Three Rivers is a great option for anyone looking to save money before transferring to a four-year university. There are tons of opportunities to get involved with, and just as many people to talk to about your educational and vocational future. It is popular among all generations, which is great because you're able to communicate with people with first-hand experiences.

Make the most of it. You're able to take incredible classes at even more incredible prices.

It is what you make of it. (Un)fortunately, you can learn nothing and get an A or absorb all the information and get an A, but it's not always a walk in the park.

There are no dorms on campus

I've never had anything, but there is a cafeteria as well as a cyber cafe. Both seem very welcoming and the aromas surrounding them are really nice!

When the courtyards are open, they are a very nice place to hang out with friends, study, or both.

You get way more out of it than you pay. You can get the same education for about $2000 as people going to schools for ten times as much money. It is an absolute bargain!

Adult learners, students with children, people who are unsure of their majors, really anyone!

There are many clubs and activities to get involved with! Most of them schedule meetings so as to not interfere with anyone's school schedule which is definitely a plus. It is extremely easy to get involved.

I have never felt threatened or unsafe, but if I did, campus security is always around and approachable for any problems I might encounter.
