Review of Grand Rapids Community College

Describe your college in three sentences.

Being a community college, GRCC won't offer everything that bigger (and more expensive) schools will offer, but they seem to do a great job at providing the proper things to get started on a bachelor's degree or complete an associate's degree. The advisors, as well as a few teachers, are very helpful when a student seeks guidance on how they should go about to get their degree. Like other schools, there will be some professors that will go out of their way to help you, while other professors will focus on doing only what's required of them.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Speaking with the advisors on a regular basis is a smart thing to do. If you're determined to study, they can help you create a clear plan for your college career. Teachers will also be glad to help you if you take the time to ask them for help.

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

Professors stick to their plans to get things done. The college will provide the tools needed for their career and the student will be expected to use those tools.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

Since this is a community college, there are no dorms.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

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