REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingI am learning so much at Cumberland County College. Not only did I save myself money by starting my college process here, but the professors and staff have helped me along the way.
The two years that I have spent at CCC has taught me how to be a good student and I have also learned more about what it takes to get into the nursing program.
I came to this school in the fall of 2009 expecting to get into the nursing program a year later (according to my advisors). What I learned later was that this program wanted students to finish all their pre-requisite classes before being considered applying for the nursing program, which is about two years. Then, the program itself is two years. So, I found out that I was going to be spending four years at a community college earning an associates degree? That is how long it takes to earn a bachelors degree!
I decided to transfer by the end of two years and finish all the bulk core classes. This decision is turning out to be a good one, because not only did I learn about nursing programs, stimulate my mind with multiple classes, but I also saved money. (See Bang for the buck).
The professors are great, especially in my microbiology class. This professor took the time to actually teach us and made sure that we understood what he was talking about. He even gave us multiple opportunities to succeed. What I mean by this is that he had us use Blackboard to find a one page review worksheet. This page had a few short-answer questions which were going to be on the test. If you figured out what you were going to write about ahead of time, how could you fail!
