COCC is great for small classes where the students have one-on-one contact with the instructors. The advising part of registration is great because the advisors only recommend classes that the student needs to be or should be taking to be successful in their chosen field. The instructors offer outside of classroom help and are timely in getting feedback to students. I've learned more in the last year and a half at COCC then I did in four years of high school.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I love the campus because it's beautiful in the summer and in the winter. The campus is set on a hill which can be difficult at times but is a great workout if you have classes all over campus. There is a great view of the mountains and it doesn't feel like we're right in town. Feels more like we're up in the mountains somewhere.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
The tuition and registration costs for COCC is amazing compared to big universities. Although it's still expensive for someone who doesn't have a full time job, I was able to get a loan through the school to pay for this year and it's been a lifesaver. The classes really are worth the money it costs per credit.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Register early!!! There is such a demand for education right now that registering early is very important. Even though current students have priority over new students, classes still go quickly! Also, when you are getting ready to register, know what classes you want before it comes time to actually register. Plan, plan, plan! It really pays off in the end.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
COCC is great for just about anyone who is looking to jump into a higher education. Only 200 level and lower classes are offered mostly but its a great starting point for someone who isn't ready to move into a huge university. Community college is a great transition from high school or not going to school to a university. The atmosphere is wonderful and the people here are some of the friendliest around. If you're outdoorsy its even better because you would be right in the middle of everything; skiing, snowboarding, hiking, camping, floating the river, fishing, shopping, hunting, biking, running, etc.
