I was a bit nervous about going to college at the age of 27, ten years since I have had any formal schooling, but the amount of information that is coming back to me here at CCA is incredible. The new information I am learning has made me enjoy the process even more.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
The faculty is incredibly nice, the services offered and rendered are competent and extremely helpful. The students vary in age and race, giving a wide variety of life experience with educational experience to draw from for assistance.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Being a community college the tuition rates are high to begin with, but CCA also offers a wide variety of scholarship opportunities as well, and with the standard of education I am receiving the bang beats out the buck every semester.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
See a counselor, they are there to help and they are worth your time. Plan your classes ahead of time, even if you don't know what you will major in look at the grad requirements for a general education degree and plan as many classes in advance as you can. A lot of the best classes offered at CCA may only be available during certain semesters so always be aware of when they are offered. Know your options for payment, CCA is ready and willing to help pay for your experience at their facility so get involved and know what they can offer you. Finally, enjoy the ride, the professors at CCA are often more than just book worms, they have life experience and enjoy teaching and can make your CCA life fun and vastly rewarding.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
CCA is a good start for anyone, but students who did not do so well in high school, who are returning after many years out of school, or who do not know what they want to do with there future will find their place at CCA. This institution has so much variety in course options, learning styles, and people to assist. CCA made me, the 27 year old mother of 10 years, who got a GED at 18 and could not decide on a major the 2 other times I attempted to go to school feel right at home, motivated, and capable.
