It's a small community college in NW Connecticut, with a nice historical but modern campus. Since it's such a small school, the Professors and Instructors have the time and patience to give each student the individual attention needed to succeed.

Growing up in this small town, you always heard the horror stories about the Community College. I have to say that I have NEVER experienced any horror at all. From the first time I stepped in the door everyone I have met has had a positive attitude and a willingness to help. The staff are all looking for you to succeed and will do anything to help you. The one thing that I would like to see change is the offering of the Nursing Program. I feel that they should offer two different sections of the program so that more students can be accommodated for.
Great place to start, friendly staff and small-school environment. Active student body. Very cheap too.
