Alum: There are so many opportunities for growth, wonderful and knowledgeable professors, a great sense of community, and exceptional facilities and resources. The Science Tutorial was my best resource for improving my grades. All profs offered office hrs and ensured their students do well. WCC offers refunds on dropped classes before a certain date. Take advantage if the class or professor doesn’t align with them. Take time to read testimonials of your professors before signing up for their class. I am still in contact with many of my professors and they have given me support and encouragement through my current career. It’s a great feeling to know they still want to see you succeed even after you leave the classroom. Diversity on campus is lively! WCC is a large commuter school including HS grads, transfers, and grad students. Pool offered open swim hrs which were fun to go to in between classes. Student life is what you make of it. You can be as active or inactive as you’d like.... Read 659 reviews

Freshman: CUNY Bronx Community College is honestly better than I had expected in my viewpoint! It’s a great school with people that provides such great opportunities to us students. I can genuinely tell that the staff members and (most) professors care about students’ successions. Additionally, the college supplies students with various academically supportive resources. Overall, it’s a fairly good option if you are looking for an all around good (2 year) college.... Read 1,067 reviews

Senior: Clinton Community offers many opportunities for students of all backgrounds. From industry-specific technical programs, to gen-ed, to one of the finest nursing programs in the country, Clinton has a lot to offer. They offer in-person, remote and hybrid learning platforms, and the staff is top-notch. Aside from the academics, the college is situated high on a bluff overlooking Lake Champlain, the Green Mountains of Vermont, and the Adirondack Mountains of NY, making it one of the most scenic higher learning facilities you will find....

Freshman: The classes are fairly easy even being online. I was given very helpful direction from teachers who answered within five minutes. Someone was always available ifI had a question or needed help. I was intimidated at first about being online because I did not want to be too disconnected, but the teachers do a great job at keeping you connected and immersed despite being online. there were a lot of extra educational resources and tutoring services offered registration was easy making my schedule was made very easy by my advisor. I would like to see more diversity within the classes that you can take. If they weren’t all so westernised it would make the learning experience much more expansive... Read 581 reviews

There's flexibility in courses, with many offered online, and a lot of assistance available for answering questions. I would like to see the website get an easier to navigate design, and more support for finding grants and scholarships for financial aid; I feel like I have mostly been left on my own to figure that out past FAFSA and TAP, the latter of which doesn't apply to part time students....

One thing I can take away from SUNY Corning is the process of dedication the professors and Staff members make every day to help make this school prosper. Although the epidemic has made it tough, SUNY Corning will prosper and Triumph. I am glad to be a SUNY Corning Red Baron!... Read 359 reviews

Freshman: I came to Rockland Community College as a reverse transfer student after bad experiences at my previous 4-year university - and I could not be happier! I was instantly accepted by everyone, and the students are very supportive of one another. I have never met such an inclusive and diverse group of people. For a community college, I believe that the education I have received so far has been superb. Instead of memorizing a book, we are asked thought-provoking questions and I leave all of my classes inspired. I could not have asked for a better group of teachers. However, I wish there were more clubs and activities to take part in, but this is a small community college and almost everyone has a full-time / part-time job which takes up most of their time....

Freshman: I'm an incoming Freshman at Hudson Valley Community College, starting later this month. I visited the school out of curiosity for their new Welding Technologies associate degree program. I found the campus and all the services offered to be great. The Welding lab, including the Virtual Welding equipment was excellent and well set up. By the end of my visit, I knew that I wanted to attend this school and I applied immediately. I will be able to really increase my welding skills and be better prepared for my career. The college made the application and registration process very easy, with most things taken care of online or by email. This helped tremendously since I have a full-time job and wasn't able to visit or call the school during my workday. Once I start my classes I'll change my working hours to part time so that I can both focus on my studies and take part in some of the campus activities. I am very excited to begin!...

When I went to Veterans office in the campus to enroll, I was surprised how accommodating the staff was. They help me a lot to make my enrollment process easy since I came from I studied high school and college from another country. I am now taking my prerequisites for my occupational Therapy. My current professors for English and Psychology are both awesome! They make sure that we can keep up, remind us a lot about our homework and they always help us to achieve a high grade!

While some say community colleges aren't that great sunyBroome shows that not to be accurate at all and could compete with any 4-year university in competence and academics in the new york state.

Senior: SUNY Cobleskill is a wonderful campus to either begin your journey in the agricultural industry or to expand on your current knowledge. The majority of our professors have spent their lives in the fields they teach about so well, whether it be researchers of psychology, dairy farms of New York, or canine trainers who work for law enforcement K9 training units. This allows us to have our unique, experiential learning programming that we are so well known for. Unfortunately, because of our unique programming, we often have more students than available space in classes. This setback often limits students' schedules or overloads our staff. We would be able to alleviate this issue by hiring more qualified faculty to join our programs. More professors in our programs would provide a long term solution to our growing student population.... Read 360 reviews

Freshman: Staff, very welcoming, friendly that sort of deal. Campus is pretty easy to navigate, feels like walking 2-3 neighborhood blocks. All the professors I dealt with were super approachable, reasonable with deadlines, and they were really cool to talk to. You should definitely explore the local area in your free time and make friends with upperclassmen so that they can show you around. Loads of activities going around campus, community movie nights, sports games, sledding in winter to name a few. The hot food is GREAT 95% of the time but they have loads of other options too so you'll too disapointed in your dinner. Sandwich station? Life saver on those nights and just a good lunch in general. Our classmen are really friendly so if you ever feel lonely look around for a group and ask to join in to whatever they're doing. They'd love to accommodate you. It's a really awesome time up there, and I didn't want to leave.... Read 357 reviews

Freshman: As someone who attends the Niagara Falls Culinary Insititute campus, I have absolutely fallen in love with the school and become obsessed with all my classes. I always feared that there wasn't an education available to me quite like the Culinary Institute of America, but I feel as though NFCI achieves all that and more. For one, all the equipment and classrooms are brand new, always tidy and organized- making it the perfect area to learn. All the chefs are very knowledgeable, no matter their specialization- and I have never learned so much from such a small group of people before. The small class sizes make it extremely easy for one on one conversation with teachers and classmates, as well as problem solving when necessary. The opportunities that are presented here as well absolutely make all the tuition worth it, from galas to buffets and the on-campus restaurant, and I am so eternally grateful that all of this is offered near me....

The Foundation's generosity opens limitless opportunities for countless students.

The seamless operation of the CCC nursing program is a testament to the efficient leadership of the Director. The nursing lab coordinator, whose wonderful demeanor adds so much to the learning environment.

Alum: I loved this college. I made so many friends here and the teachers were great! It was so much fun. They had plenty of clubs/organizations to join and they also had lots of fun days where you could get free stuff. I like the vending machines/food. The size of the campus was the perfect size. I spent a lot of time outside, in the lounge area, and at the library. There were great resources. Location was nice because it is near Taco Bell, Panera, the mall, etc. The parking was nice too. You could always find a parking spot, especially if you got there early. I had such a great time here. I definitely can't recommend this place enough. I have so many fond memories here with my friends.... Read 345 reviews

Sophomore: I really like the people and environment! SUNY Schenectady is always making an effort to renovate and improve their space for students, and the students there are all open and inviting. The professors are all super understanding and have your back 24/7! They have multiple spots on campus to get food and have open spaces to meet friends. They have a lovely space outdoors that is perfect to be between classes, and a new library with all the books and textbooks to help you with your academics. They also have free tutoring for pretty much every class! They offer in person and online tutoring. They even have free events throughout semesters with food, games, and raffles. The only thing I took of points for was that some professors are extremely hard graders (but you'll find them everywhere! No college is perfect). Especially for online classes, it's harder for professors to connect with their students so they are not as lenient when it comes to late work or extra credit to improve grades.... Read 273 reviews

Alum: For me, Purchase was an excellent school in an excellent location. Although I could have attended a Big City college, they beckoned, Purchase was the right choice for me. College is stressful enough without the stresses of Big City living while on a very limited budget. Don't get me wrong, nothing & nowhere is perfect. But the quasi-suburban/rural location worked for me. Education wise, professor wise, well, I was Top 5% all my classes & courses. I'm not sure would have happened elsewhere. Sure, look at the Big Ones - Columbia, UCLA, Notre Dame, Texas A&M - but don't discount Purchase. It's well worth a look! PS Like Vegas, what happens at Purchase stays at Purchase 😉...

Sophomore: Suffolk Community College is the ultimate gateway towards your field of study. As a conglomerate of buildings throughout Long Island, it’s like they have almost everything that someone would like to study. It is nice to have professors that are very passionate. I was just disappointed with the lack of classes that they had when compared to the amount they presented in DegreeWorks. I would’ve really loved to take a Caribbean Studies class like they listed but it was not available across all campuses. I also think a more diverse cast of professors would be great as well!...
