CPCC is convenient, relaxed, and definitely the way to go! Every campus is clean and fresh-looking, and the students are diverse and friendly. Professors of all areas will do their best to help you succeed not only in the class but in life.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Get involved! Join Student Government, go to movie nights that the Theatre Department holds, make friends with classmates, etc. Also, apply for financial aid! CPCC scholarships are easy to win.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
This depends on the class and professor you have, but I would say CPCC has a rigorous academic system. It will challenge you, but make you grow in the process!
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Being a community college, there are no on-campus dorms.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Each campus has healthy options for food. My campus has a Subway right outside my classroom, and even a little food stand with juices, coffee, and pastries. Very inexpensive but great for a snack between classes!
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
CPCC is almost always holding a various festival (like GeekFest!). There are also numerous art exhibits and theatre performances at the Central location (uptown).
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Definitely worth your money! I have saved so much money going to CPCC rather than going to a 4-year college or university.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Great for anyone who likes big schools! Also good for someone who might be more independent academically, and someone who would want to go to school close to home (they have campuses all over town).
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
So many to choose from!
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Campus safety is always available to walk you to your car after a late night class. My school is also great about sending out safety alert updates when there has been a crime on or around campus.
