Review of Cape Fear Community College

from Wilmington, NC

Describe your college in three sentences.

I rate CFCC a 10 on a scale of 1 to 10. It is a great school with excellent teachers, smaller classes than a university, and it is a lot more afordable. I really like the two new parking decks they have recently added for students to make parking a lot easier as well.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

I would say the most important thing is to make sure you go to all of your classes because it is easy to get behind. Take good notes and make sure you are putting in some time each day outside of class as well to study so you don't have to cram it all in the night before.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

The curriculum is tough but with there excellent teaching staff and if you have a good work ethic, you will do just fine.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

They do not have dorms, as they are a community college.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

The school's food is good and affordable but if you want to go get something to eat a little nicer than you can because you are already downtown.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

The thing I love about CFCC is the fact is that is is downtown. If you have a break between classes, there is always something to do.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

Great value.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

The location of the college itself is awesome because it overlooks the Cape Fear river. In some classes you can get a really nice view of the river and the bridge.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Students looking to get an accredited and quality education for less.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

Awesome sports, clubs, and activities.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

They have excellent campus security.
