Central Piedmont Community College Reviews
Rating 3.88 out of 5 1,267 reviews
Central Piedmont is a great starter college! It was super easy to apply and all the employees were so helpful and easy to work with! Any time I would need any assistance they were always very helpful and patient! As a starting freshman it is suprisingly hard to figure out everything right away, but they made it very easy to figure out and explained what I need to do. The only thing is that I really wish that their libraries were bigger, especially the central campus one in Uptown, Charlottte. It is a great campus, with many great accommodations and features. But for the amount of students that go to CPCC, I believe there should be more seating areas for students. It would also be great if there was more food options and cafes! Spending so much time there studying, I'm sure that students would absolutely appreciate that! Nevertheless, all my professors are the sweetest and super helpful in my studies! I wouldn't want to start my college experience anywhere else!
Central Piedmont Community College offers a wide variety of classes and is, by experience, geared towards those looking for a robust and fool-proof higher education without the bells and whistles of a 4-year institution. Classes range in quality, with some being rather hands off and minimal in their engagement, while others genuinely do seem to apply pressure in order to ensure students are properly learning in their environments. Some classes that were shown to have been offered may only be at certain campuses, which disallow those who are unable to make the commute from taking them. Campus quality varies, as do the buildings on each campus. Commuting to and from the Central Campus in Charlotte is harrowing due to the current traffic and parking fiasco. I would recommend the school mainly for the offering of the Middle College program for High School Juniors, as well as the accelerated online courses for completing pre-requisites prior to transferring to applying to a 4-year.
Well, I'm going to attend Central Piedmont community college in 2023 if God wills. So far they have the literal best student help I have ever experienced. I did search for other schools in my area, but all of them were ‘ not responsive’ or not very gentle or kind as Central Piedmont staff! The moment I entered it, was the very moment I fell in love with it! I'm looking forward to attending this college and persuading my career towards success.
