Freshman: 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!... Read 1,269 reviews

Junior: I have had a semi-positive learning experience at Cape Fear Community College. Of course with every school there are good and bad professors, and the same applied to CFCC. This semester especially, I had an extremely positive experience with my Anatomy and Physiology professor, and became more excited to learn every time I stepped foot into his classroom. His course was interesting, structured, organized, difficult, but I learned so much that I will be taking with me throughout my career. I would personally like to see more professors like him at Cape Fear because he genuinely cares about his students. I was having an issue with one of my other professors, and he sat on the phone with me for almost an hour giving me the best advice, on a Friday!... Read 519 reviews

Sophomore: My experience being a student here at GTCC is good! I had a wide variety of choices to fill in for my Associate of Science degree. I feel accomplished that I am reaching toward to the end of my last semester at GTCC with great grades! I am thankful for their support in dropping the fees in all of my semesters. I only had to worry about my books/supplies to cover by FAFSA and grants. Overall, I would definitely recommend admitting as an upcoming student here at GTCC! It is worth the price and education!...

Sophomore: I have gone back to FTCC to get a few more credits to transfer to a 4-year college. Going back was easy, and everyone was very supportive. If you already have your transcripts here and want to take a few more credits to transfer to East Carolina College or another 4-year college, I highly recommend using them to get those last credits finished! The teachers and students in the Student Center are very nice and helpful. They helped me access my electronic book, relearn to navigate blackboard, walked me through adding Microsoft 365 onto my laptop, and even helped me study for my Praxis test so I could transfer to a 4-year college! They were so kind and helpful. Even if you don't go to FTCC, be sure to use your college's Student Center. I also like that you can see the names of professors when you register for classes. This lets you find professors that will be compatible with your learning style!... Read 581 reviews

Freshman: I love the Forsyth tech campus and faculty. Forsyth tech has lots of resources for students designed for students to succeed. There is walk in tutoring, babysitting, and professors are always there to help. Forsyth makes me feel cared for and noticed. I was in need of a laptop and Forsyth Tech provided one for me. The SGA gives us snacks, candy, and pie on occasion and always provides free fun events! Overall I am really grateful for all the resources Forsyth Tech provides for its students....

Sophomore: Pitt community college is a great college and focus on their students. They work one on one with students, you get to know your instructors, it's easier to interact with teachers and students. Pitt is a great affordable and accessible community college. Pitt is a flexible college for students working full time job and going to school like me. Pitt educates and empowers there students for success. Pitt provides access to dynamic learning opportunities designed to stimulate personal enrichment and successful career preparation. I love Pitt and I'm planning on going back to get another degree from them. One thing I loved about Pitt was the small classes. I get to interact with my professor and not get distracted from others talking and a large classroom. I feel like I'm well prepared to go to a four year college with the help from Pitt. I choose Pitt because I was unsure about what college to go to after high school and I didn't want to leave my family and friends so I picked Pitt.... Read 480 reviews

Senior: It is exactly as the name suggests, a community! Instructors and students alike are kind and always willing to help! The small class settings allow each student to receive 1-on-1 assistance or even schedule meetings during an instructor’s office hours. I am in my 4th and final year here, but this has definitely been the best 4 years of my school experience so far! Thank you!... Read 413 reviews

Senior: I think that DDCC is pretty great. For a community college I could think of nowhere else I'd prefer to go. You get a student life experience that rivals many 4-year universities and they give you a lot of resources to succeed. Plus, we get free tutoring! Even though they don't have dorms on campus (or at least not yet) I still feel like DDCC is my home away from home. There's always something to do or someone to talk to as well as many quieter spaces to study. The Storm Cellar's food is really good, especially the tenders. I wish there were more athletic programs but they are slowly expanding and I personally think that we're pretty competitive for a school our size. I always feel safe and supported here, so if you're looking for a community college I would go here!... Read 297 reviews

Sophomore: This community school provides a variety of programs in health care. The school provides assistances for financial services, tutoring, and awesome staff members that are very understanding and helpful. If I could recommend any student who is interested and a short career or a two year transfer this community college is what I would recommend. All of the following is what I like about the school. They provide what is convenient for the students there.... Read 324 reviews

Sophomore: I love Caldwell! I have taken many classes with various professors and have never been through a bad experience. The location has many restaurants right beside it, as well as tons of options in the nearby towns of Hickory, Lenoir, and Granite Falls. Advisors are very welcoming and truly want what's best for you. My advice is an old saying, "the squeaky wheel gets the grease". As long as you vouch for your needs and wants, they will do their best to beet them as much as possible!... Read 232 reviews

Freshman: Surry Community College has gone above and beyond to help me do my absolute best in college. I have taken college classes since I was a sophomore in high school, and my father was terminally ill. When he passed away my junior year, all of my professors were extremely kind and understanding, and helped me adjust to the schoolwork when I was ready. Since then, I have not had a single bad encounter with a professor or anyone at SCC. I highly recommend the school.... Read 150 reviews

Freshman: At Vance-Granville Community College, there is endless opportunities. For me, I had a great experience, if I needed help or needed advising, the advisor staff would gladly aid me. For a community college, the campus connects the students with each other and it all feels like a great community. I'm not able to say I want to see something change because there's almost endless opportunities and options for everyone. They have it all.... Read 168 reviews

Sophomore: Durhamtech is obviously the best community college one could attend! I love Durhamtech for so many reasons. This is a diversed environment therefore, everyone feels safe and welcomed regardless of where you come from. Durhamtech is great academically, students find it easy taking classes at Durhamtech because it's just not comlpicated. The instructors are very open for questions and provide extra help outside the classroom. The resources of the school are available for all the students to access. The academic advisors are very helpful, there's a variety of them and they are just always available to guide and advise students as they should. The library is also a very helpful resource for students, we really feel the back up. Some changes I would like to see would be that the school needs to improve in terms of the offices services. Students need information everyday but when it's not provided more often, they loose track. Durhamtech is a very good college to start your journey.... Read 263 reviews

Senior: I don't know where we all got the idea that community colleges are sad, under equipped schools for 40-year-olds and trade students, because SPCC is basically the opposite. Don't get me wrong, it is a humble school with only 3 or 4 buildings on campus, but the academics, cost, equipment available student to teacher ratio, and overall sense of community can't be beat. I absolutely love the small class sizes and the opportunity to build relationships with the professors. I also am always surprised at the equipment and resources available to all students (especially in the art department which has every art supply your heart could desire). The student body and faculty are so involved and are always there to make coming to campus a great experience! I wish their online courses were a little more dynamic and engaging but overall I am really enjoying my time at SPCC as I am challenged by the rigorous courses and supportive teachers....
