Do you have any tips for prospective students?
#1) If you plan on transferring to a major university take general courses at GCC they will transfer almost anywhere!
#2) Don't wait to enroll, as soon as your financial aid clears you can charge your books to your account (as a side note: none of my books were more than $150, one was $14.00. Amazing!!)
#3) Look into Study abroad they have a partnership with the U of Wisconsin, and you can travel to Scotland!
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Academic Rigor depends on what type of classes you are taking. You can take honors classes for more rigor. I am currently taking Honors Psychology, which is challenging but very flexible as well. The book for the class helps you to learn and retain the information.

Every Wednesday when the weather is fair there is a farmers market for free local grown food. There are dances, and many sports teams.
