Freshman: I liked having the option of doing my prerequisite classes online while in high school. Signing up for my prerequisite courses will help me have a less stressful college semester when I start in the Fall. I recommend getting ahead of the game to avoid as much stress and the possibility of having a semester off. I have taken eight prerequisite classes and all of the professors I have had were understanding, passionate, courteous, inspiring, and motivating. The only thing I would like to change, based on my experience, is how the different departments communicate with one another.... Read 187 reviews

Sophomore: I adored Stanly Community College, my professors were awesome, and the atmosphere was lovely. I'm excited about my adventure at UNC Charlotte, my years at Stanly Community College will benefit me tremendously in this next chapter. As for what I'd like to see changed, I honestly can't think of anything, I learned a lot of new things, I made friends, and found professors that I'll always admire.... Read 107 reviews

Niche User: I was able to complete my Associates in Science and high school diploma while dual-enrolled at Jackson County Early College and Southwestern Community College. I've since moved on to undergraduate studies at Western Carolina University. SCC is a fantastic option for a variety of students. I cannot speak highly enough of SCC's associates of science program! The professors help foster a strong understanding of course material, while also respecting student's independent schedules. I high recommend SCC!... Read 185 reviews

Niche User: Hello, my name’s Josey! My current experience at Nash Community has been more than incredible! I’ve familiarized myself through the online systems I’ve been operating with for over 8 months now and have been pleased with absolutely everything on how functional the work and staff align on a general element. The staff have ensured that us students are taught properly and understanding the overall material without making us over stress or feel burnt out in an instant. I recommend this community college to many and have been enjoying the Career & College Promise Program I’ve been in through Southern Nash High School by which I’m very grateful to have been offered and given the opportunity surely! Thank you and happy studying to you all! :)... Read 204 reviews

Niche User: I love Rowan-Cabarrus! I'm an early college student who takes classes there. I am on track to receive my Associate's in Art in 2022. All the professors I've had, have been amazing and the resources available are great! I especially love the tutoring center and library that they have available to students. Also, all the professors are very supportive and caring. I recently went through a breakup and my Chemistry professor was incredibly understanding. She talked to me in class and later checked up on me through email. I've never felt more seen or understood by a professor before!... Read 259 reviews

The guidance from my advisor has been excellent, and so have the instructors of the classes I have taken. Our rural community college does not get nearly enough of the credit they deserve, and I want to give them some of that here!... Read 100 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: 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

Freshman: Catawba Valley Community College has a variety of different majors you could choose from and has an easy transfer if you want to continue your education! I really enjoy experiencing the college experience that many have told me about. Even if the college isn't a university, the professors there are kind and caring as well as strict when it comes to school work. The college provides a library, a student "break room", a study hall, student services, and many more. What I would like to see change would be the success of Catawba Valley Community College; hoping it would become a university for others very soon.... Read 221 reviews

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 1,268 reviews

Graduate Student: My time at Wilkes Community College was a wonderful experience overall. I was able to learn a lot and got to meet quite a few new people who quickly became some of my closest friends. I started at WCC my junior year in high school so it took a little longer for me to get my degree but I’m so glad I had the advisors and professors that I did because they helped me through the whole thing. Overall I feel that my time at WCC was a good experience and I would highly recommend it to others. Thank you!... Read 122 reviews

Freshman: When I applied for Wake Tech, the team there was super flexible and willing to help me out on my educational prowess and my goals after graduation. Wake Tech offers students like myself excessive freedom and resources that I can use for whatever I may need, and their campuses are great for whatever is needed! The campuses have whatever you may need for your time there, computer labs, food trucks, libraries, learning centers, tutoring options, bus transportation, access to almost anything you may need while your time at Wake Tech!...

Other: I’m currently in their first ever ADN program at McDowell Technical Community College. I really feel that they strive to help us understand the material that’s being taught to us and don’t just want us to memorize it for a test. I feel like by the time I graduate I will have the proper education to be the best nurse I can be. The teachers are always free to listen to any suggestions/ concerns students are having. Of course there are difficulties present however I feel they are pretty minor. The biggest issue seem to be communication between faculty (instructors, advisors, and admissions office), which will most likely resolve as like previously mentioned this is a new program. I would recommend McDowell Technical Community College to others looking to advance their education.... Read 50 reviews

Sophomore: Overall, I had a fantastic experience at Lenoir Community College. I am currently still enrolled, enjoying most of my classes. They have an excellent Agriculture program, with knowledgeable and helpful professors. However, I haven't had such a positive experience with some of the courses. In one of my classes, the notes we take don't help me on the tests because the content is on a much higher level. It can be confusing and frustrating for some, but I have no problems with the instructor. Other than that, I've enjoyed my time at LCC!... Read 135 reviews

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 580 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....

Sophomore: I love the small town feel of this college. I love the ratio of teachers to students - I feel that the teacher quickly learns everyone's names and the students learn who everyone is, so that if you have to get into groups it's not terribly uncomfortable. The teachers are very knowledgeable and I know I am getting an excellent education even though I am not at a big expensive university. I learn easily from most of the teachers I have had there because they explain the material very well and often use visual aids. My favorite classes have been Biology and nursing classes because there is so much hands on work. I have really enjoyed attending this college and appreciate the money I have saved by going to my local community college.... Read 59 reviews

There are amazing professors and amazing programs to join as well. I personally joined Wake Techs barbering program and it was an amazing experience.
