Sophomore: Tunxis is truly full of amazing staff! The professors are attentive, caring, and always looking to help boost students up. They are also very understanding when it comes to needing extra help or extra resources. The advisors are very helpful and provide resources that save students money and time. The school itself is clean and well maintained with an abundance of clubs and organizations that provide resources for mental health, such as the human services club. The students are welcoming and it was easy to make friends and breach out of my social comfort zone. The school has many parking spots available, and two main entrances that make it easier so you don't have to walk 15 minutes to your class if you're running late. The classes are well-paced so that they do not become overwhelming, even as a full-time student I still have plenty of free time and time to work a part-time job as well. There are many events with free food or gift bags that encourage students to come to campus.... Read 184 reviews

Senior: My courses were conducted both in person and online this past semester. Although I prefer learning in person in an enviorment where I am connected with my instructors and my peers, I have been able to manage well through my online courses, especially because GWCC has done a really good job in conducting courses effectively where professors are not only lenient and understanding towards students with current circumstances, but all professors from my experience have done their best to make sure we still feel connected, especially those of us who are not living on campus and have classes that are all online. The support that GWCC has provided students in order to ensure the best experience has been great!... Read 402 reviews

Sophomore: As an incoming student to the Nursing program this fall, I can confidently say that Three Rivers Community College has already left a profound, positive impression on me. The administrative staff's supportiveness and proactive approach have been instrumental in preparing me for the demanding yet rewarding journey that lies ahead in the field of Nursing. Despite not having attended a single class yet, the quality of engagement I've had with the institution is a testament to its dedication towards students. The team has gone above and beyond in providing the necessary information and assistance, ensuring we feel welcome, informed, and prepared. What has truly stood out for me is the staff's attentiveness and thoroughness. They've consistently reached out to ensure I have all the items I need to proceed with the program, highlighting their keen interest in our individual success. The flow of communication has been seamless, with all my queries addressed promptly and effectively.... Read 380 reviews

Freshman: Norwalk Community College is a great start if you're not exactly ready to jump right in to college. I transferred to Norwalk Community College my spring semester of 2023 and I believe it was one of the best decisions I could've made. I went to a 4 year university my first semester of my freshman year and it was overwhelming and very fast paced. Making the choice to transfer to community college turned out to be the transition that I needed. Being at Norwalk, it has allowed me to be more self-paced and a lot more manageable academic wise. I was able to feel myself slowing down and really taking to the time to focus on my work without always stressing. No matter where you go, it may always feel like it's hard to meet people but with community college, Norwalk has showed me that people may be closed off at first but it's more of just putting yourself out there and people will come to. Norwalk is just like any other school. You get the sense of independency, it's just more of a breather!... Read 417 reviews

Graduate Student: Housatonic is a great community oriented school. I decided to go there to complete my pre-requisite for Dental Hygiene and all of my credits were transfers. I love the campus and professor so much that decided to complete my associates degree and Health Science certification. Professor are great and the tactics they use to teach you complex concepts, especially in the science field, I can say that have stuck with me until this day where I am completing my undergrad degree. This is a school that constantly recommend this school to coworkers and fellow church members when they decide to embark into their college career. The school is affordable and student oriented, providing assistance for the FAFSA process and other programs which can help you cover tuition. I am a proud alumni of Housaronic Community College!...

Works Here: I absolutely adore everything about Post! The company's culture is truly unparalleled, unlike anywhere I've ever had the pleasure of working. Right from day one, I was blown away by the incredible support and training provided to the team. What sets Post apart is its strong emphasis on work-life balance and the encouragement to take days off without overworking. It's like a breath of fresh air in the corporate world, and it's one of the many reasons I'm proud to be a part of this remarkable company.... Read 912 reviews

Alum: I graduated from Goodwin University when they were known as, "Goodwin College" in 2014. My experience taking courses within their nursing program was outstanding. I was enrolled in the program 3/4 of the time, then mandatory part-time once taking my core nursing courses. The nursing curriculum was rigorous and the examinations were in alignment with the resources provided, that challenged students critical thinking and decision making skills, while promoting higher level thinking skills that help prepare for the NCLEX-RN examination. I strongly believe the rigor, the curriculum delivery model, testing procedures, structure, and clinical experiences more than prepared me for my boards, it had significantly modeled me to be a competent safe practicing registered nurse....

Sophomore: A few years ago, I dropped out of art school. The courses I took in art school were unique to my major and school, so I knew most of my credits would not transfer over to another college. I was not impressed with the credit evaluations I received from most of the schools I applied to. After doing months of research, I stumbled upon a forum discussing transfer-friendly colleges. COSC was mentioned a few times, so I decided to apply and see what would happen. I was accepted fairly quickly and recieved an amazing credit evaluation back. Most of my classes transferred in, and the credits I needed to complete, I was able to take through Sophia.org. I have to take off one star because COSC uses Blackboard (hate it) and the student portal site is buggy and outdated. COSC should also replace the "College" in their name with "University" and update their site and branding. Other than that, excellent school and helpful instructors! I just signed up for graduation in June, so I'm ecstatic.... Read 89 reviews

Freshman: At first I was skeptical because it was my first ever college experience after being out of grade school for 20 years, but after talking to all of their AMAZING staff/faculty and all of their help walking me through the process not only am I mad at myself for not doing this with my life sooner, I'm already averaging 100% in all my classes. There's not one thing I'd change about Post University Online! GO EAGLES!... Read 57 reviews
