Review of Genesee Community College

from Dansville, NY

Describe your college in three sentences.

i love the freedom that online classes provide. i find the financial aid office and record keeping to be slightly inadequate. on an overall scale of 1-10 i'd say they are an 8.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

learn and utilize genesis to help you be in charge of your own record keeping and schedules. it's an easy system to learn and saves you from many unnecessary hassles in the long run.

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

i have been pleased with all of my professors and the course outlines. some of them are a little tougher than others, but i come away feeling i have learned a great deal from each class i have taken.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

i have never stayed in a dorm and can't really rate this area.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

the cafeteria at the batavia campus has a great menu, has plenty of room to sit and study, and is convenient. prices are a little on the high side, but you do have the option of packing your own more affordable meal. there are microwaves and vending machines available as well.

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

there are a wide variety of activities suitable for a wide variety of interests.

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

for the most part everything is affordable with an exception of text books. the book store is over priced, but i buy my books cheaper online at amazon and ebay.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

batavia is the main campus, but there are many mini campuses making it easier for students of surrounding areas to take classes without a long commute. online courses make the classes available to students from their homes any where in the world.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

any kind of student looking for a two year degree or who will be transferring to a four year suny college.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

very long list that will fit a variety of interests and hobbies.

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

security is always available at the batavia campus. the smaller campuses are located in the country. i have taken mainly online classes, but have taken a few classes at the dansville campus center. i haven't really seen any need for security there. it's more like family. everyone there knows everybody and it's a friendly place to be.
