No matter what your major is, you get a good liberal education. Liberal referring to the necessary math, english, science, art, and social studies classes you're required to take as your core curriculum. Even if you don't have a major at the beginning you're able to get enough classes so that you know a bit of everything.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
It is by far one of the most beautiful campuses I have seen in my area. There are lots of trees and grass everywhere, and a lake right in the middle of the most visited buildings. Not only is it nice to walk through, but I've been fortunate enough to have a college career full of interesting and nice teachers who are good at their job. The best part is that you're in a class of twenty to twenty-five people, tops, so you're able to talk to the teacher about anything important before or after classes. And I've personally made a lot of friends with my classmates. You meet all kinds of people here.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
It's a community college, so you'd expect to have to pay less. it's about $1000 a semester before textbooks. But you learn so much from the classes here if you take the right ones that it's totally worth it.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Get in and get your classes early so you get the ones you need to take right away. As soon as your able you need to try and get your schedule settled. The school has has to do weird things with the budget lately because of the economy, so there's going to be a lot of competition for the necessary classes with the good teachers. Check RateMyProfessor.com to check how good a teacher's been rated. I personally avoided a run-in with a particularly crummy teacher because of that site! But most of the ones I checked were good.
Also, get there early. The people may be great but the parking leaves much to be desired for the time being.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Great for students who can't afford a four-year degree or who don't know what they want to do yet. It's a great place to find yourself, and you're always able to transfer.
