Sophomore: I enjoyed getting the hands-on learning experience in the classroom at Thaddeus Stevens. I am studying Graphic Communications and Printing Technology so I spent time designing on the computer and I also got to work on a variety of printing equipment. Our class toured different companies in our field within the industry which exposed us to possible job opportunities in the area. One of our tours was to Grafika Prints and I was so fascinated by the large printing company so I applied for an internship there. I received the summer internship which turned into a job once the school year started. Without the college prioritizing us all touring companies I wouldn't have learned about the great company I work at now. At school, I have also enjoyed participating in events and clubs with my classmates. Since Thaddeus Stevens College is a participating school in the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society I was able to join that club and meet more students.... Read 76 reviews

Alum: Great instructors, they really care. I took the automotive degree program and I've got to say it was the best choice I've ever made. People like to complain and talk down about the school, but they tend to be the ones who aren't paying attention and don't put in the effort then get passed off that they are failing. You get out of it what you out in... I got a great job, and it's all thanks to NCST.... Read 14 reviews

Freshman: Johnson College is the experience for people who want to do a trade. I’ve honestly been having fun the entire time I am here, and I don’t feel like I’ve lost track of much information at all. The teachers are all trying to make an effort to make you individually understand. If you are looking for a head start in tools. You’ll know every one and make friends with everyone in class along the way. The trade makes it easier to understand other people, because everyone has respect for each other. Last thing I’d like to note: This school is so hard to fail in, if you want education progress at all, this is your place to go.... Read 90 reviews

Alum: CPI is a small, vocational school serving adults learners and rural high school students in the area. It's nestled among rolling hills in a bedroom community near the college town of State College, Pa. As a result, public transportation can run in excess of two hours to and from this isolated campus. Controlled entry -- albeit expected of a private college -- can seem excessive if visiting for the first time.... Read 10 reviews

I graduated from the school with an associate degree in medical assisting. Housing was great! Housing is on campus, and you don't walk far to get to the school.

Sophomore: I’ve been going to CCAC for 3 semesters now to pursue an associates degree in psychology and Education and it’s been great so far! I really feel like the professors at CCAC are here to teach you something and they will help you to get through all of your struggles. The professors I had always have been understanding of any problems that came up and they were very approachable. I’m glad to have chosen this college as an affordable start before transferring to a 4 year institution. CCAC also offers a variety of clubs and activities that’s are fun to explore. I’m part of the World Cultures Club and we’re going to hold a global food and dance festival this coming April, which will feature dancers from Thailand, eastern countries, and Africa while enjoying over 60 food options from across the world....

Freshman: CCP is a public college located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It is a small institution with an enrollment of 4,760 undergraduate students. The CCP acceptance rate is 100%. Popular majors include Liberal Arts and Humanities, Business, and Health Service Preparatory Studies. Graduating 18% of students, CCP alumni go on to earn a starting salary of $25,700. Student-Teacher ratio are always reasonable. Not too little, and not too much. Just enough for me as a sole student to have a conversation with each other, peer understanding, share knowledge and to make friends! Everyone who works here are all accommodating, they even will go beyond to help you. Tutors are the best as well! The school offers a lot of resources and opportunities to help students get by - be that academically, food-wise, community services, and even filing our taxes! Don't forget that the professors are awesome! The students were very diverse and came from different racial, ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds.... Read 1,042 reviews

Alum: This college provides me with a great learning experience— whether that was learning new course material, being able to ask questions and have them answered thoughtfully, or learn my own work flow. As an art major, sticking with any college through the pandemic seemed like it was going to be tricky, but with HACC, the experience was better than I had thought it would be. I really appreciate that the professors were passionate about what they were teaching and shared life experiences throughout the courses. I appreciate the facilities that were provided to learn in, all the while being able to actually afford college. Being half online, and half in person, I would say that the strictly online courses gave very minimal chances to get to know the professors. However I do appreciate the inclusion of remote courses after the format during the pandemic. I am very thankful for Hacc, and had a very pleasant experience earning my associates degree there, even through a very rough time!... Read 1,052 reviews

Sophomore: Many students appreciate the supportive and dedicated faculty at Delaware County Community College. They often highlight the personalized attention and guidance they receive, which contributes to their positive learning experience. The college's commitment to affordability and accessibility also resonates well with students. One area where some students would like to see improvement is the availability of resources and facilities. Expanding library resources, updating technology infrastructure, and creating more collaborative spaces could enhance the overall learning environment. Additionally, fostering a stronger sense of community and student engagement through clubs, events, and extracurricular activities could contribute to a more vibrant campus life. Overall, while Delaware County Community College has several positive aspects, focusing on infrastructure, community building, and career-oriented support can further enhance the student experience....

Freshman: This is a wonderful cc to go to if you're looking to save money without compromising your education. The professors actually care about you and your experience. The campus works to make sure all the studdents get the attention and resources they need. I recommend attending here if you're looking for a cc where you can have interesting classes as well. If you're really looking to save money, apply for the "Honors Scholars Program." If you get in, you get your first 2 years of higher education for free! Since it's a cc, sports and parties are not very big here. You need to make friends and then find parties with them if you want to do that. The diversity on campus is not anything impressive but it's a lot better than many PWIs in this area. There are clubs and events to make it as easy as possible for you to connect with others....

Sophomore: WCCC is in my opinion a great option. My experience there was an overall solid experience. The majority of the professors I had in my first year were amazing. It is an entirely different feel than high school because they actually care about you. The classrooms are normally only 15-30 people which helps you connect with other students and the teacher more. Furthermore, it is really cheap compared to other places. My yearly tuition cost was no more than 6000. The only bad experience I have from this place is being overwhelmed from working at the same time. So if you do plan on working while taking classes, take a little less classes, trust me it is worth having one extra semester. In conclusion, WCCC is an amazing place to start out with college. It is nice to ease into college while still being with my parents to help me out when needed. It is also great for figuring out what you want to do because of the cheap classes. Overall I highly recommend this place.... Read 374 reviews
