    What I like about Garden City Community College is the way the get to students! They are there for anyone who needs help whether it be with students they have free tutoring in the library for any subject or if you need help with just a paper for English there is the writing center that helps with just that and there are instructors in there helping students! The last thing they have if you are needing all of that and needing help getting scholarships and things like that they offer the SSS TRIO program that helps with students and things to get you prepared to transfer to a four year University. There isn’t anything I believe GCCC needs to work on.

    My experience at Garden City Community College is wonderful. Overall the campus itself is great! The classes are very close together which is good so you won't be late to class. The teachers on campus are very helpful and friendly. Also, the students are nice to everyone. Not to mention the classes are pretty easy. Furthermore, the dorms and apartments are nice for out of state students. Plus the advisors and financial aide advisors are caring and helpful to students. I would consider going to college at Garden City Community College because the place is not very crowded and is much more relaxing. Considering that you can choose what time you want your classes to be. Also, there are many areas of fields you can choose from. Which the advisors and teachers like to see there students succeed and graduate.
    It’s a very small college but great for the average student that is looking for an less-strict way into college. Whether you’re on campus or online, you always feel as though GCCC has your back every step of the way. It’s a really good college if you’re looking for a great value in terms of cost, as well as providing you with a great stepping stone if you’re looking toward moving to larger universities in terms of transferring.
