I started attending CMC last semester and I love it. The professors are understanding and the students are always willing to give you advice about the classes they have taken. The tutors here are amazing and I appreciate that some professors come in during these tutoring hours. The campus bookstore is great they have any supplies you might think you need readily on hand. The campus itself is well kept and I will say it's easy to get lost at this college because the building designs are similar. Also, I enjoy dining at the Coyote Kitchen here on campus. The prices are reasonable for such delicious food!
Review Copper Mountain Community College
A great small school that offers many transfer degrees! It is located in the high desert very close to the marine base. Classes are very easy to register, they do not fill up fast.
There is a wide variety of classes to choose from depending on your major. Also your class choice may be limited depending on if you fill out an IGETC education plan in comparison to a CSU education plan. The professors are pretty straightforward about their requirements in the syllabus. Its extremely important to read the syllabus thoroughly so there is no surprises. Also its important to sign-up for the classes you want/need ASAP because they fill up quickly. Popular class sizes can get pretty big, as well, with up to 40 students. This can be a bit overwhelming at first, but the as the semester goes on you'll get used to it.
