Cedar Crest College Reviews
Rating 3.52 out of 5 688 reviews
Cedar Crest is an amazing achievement based college. Everyone has an education focused mindset and attitude, and if you want to be surrounded by people who are open minded and accepting, this is the place to be. The campus is so cute and homey, safe and not too big but large enough to have enough recreational space. There are various sports teams, clubs and other opportunities for you to express yourself and get involved!
The school is predominantly women, this makes it a great school because you get to know yourself better! Its a small campus, so there is better opportunities to make friends as well as get more attention and focus on academics. Cedar crest has opportunities for free tutoring (professionally and peers), therapy, and we are big on diversity and inclusion! Not only is academics good, our athletics teams are making history every season.
The good - there are some excellent professors and clubs.
The bad - expensive for no reason and disintegrated in quality while I was there. One day there was an exciting selection of food and then one day, "dips" was the entree in the dining hall and that is a perfect metaphor for the whole experience. Everything they had that was good they attempted to ruin, all while telling you how great it was.
The ugly - there is at least one professor here who targeted me and made my time in their class incredibly uncomfortable; despite the fact that I ultimately got a decent grade in the class the professor made comments about my personal appearance and claimed I would never get a job or go to grad school. CCC also makes things hard for students who commute to campus by making some campus activities impossible to be involved in if you don't live on campus. At first you could come in anytime and sign up to go on trips, then they made it that you had to sign up at midnight, then at 7am.
