Other: One of the best community colleges out there. I am currently a dual-enrollment student and coming in, I was worried that I would get made fun of for my age, but it was the complete opposite! The friends I have made at Montgomery College truly encourage me to become the best version of myself. They push me to come out of my comfort zone and try new things. Additionally, the professors are all so sweet, understanding, and are readily available for help whenever needed. Beyond the classroom, there are a plethora of clubs to get involved in and many tutoring centers to seek assistance from. My personal favorite was the Reading and Writing Center. The coach here was very instrumental in helping me draft essays for my 4-year universities. If you are debating going to this college, think no further. Please go!... Read 1,755 reviews

Freshman: My experience at Howard Community college has been nothing short of a pleasant experience. This fall I started my first semester as a freshman, and after talking to friends, I believe this college is as resourceful as your average state university in terms of academics and extracurriculars. As for my personal experience, HCC is the best stepping stool I could have to make the transition from high school to university smooth and easy. So far, my most recent and exciting accomplishment at this school has been earning a spot in the SGA as senator of the academic division. I am looking forward to running for president next semester! A project in progress I am optimistic about is my progress on starting the school’s first ever women’s empowerment club. Though students have easy access to tons of opportunities and guidance at HCC, there is room for improvement. I think that the department that controls teaching should put down stricter guidelines for how the teachers here teach.... Read 755 reviews

Freshman: My professor is wonderful! She does her best to help all her students succeed. All the staff that I’ve interacted with have been very kind and happy to help. Unfortunately, some of the signup process is convoluted. I am eligible for decreased tuition. Unfortunately, the process for reimbursement is complicated. Despite having done what was required several times, it doesn’t always go through/apply the discount. And to receive the discount, one must go through this process each semester. All in all, if this process were to be fixed, I highly recommend AACC. The campus feels safe, the staff are wonderful, and there are plenty of places to eat or study... Read 918 reviews

Sophomore: Carroll is a great place to start your college experience. The professors, faculty, and staff really care about the success of students and want to see students transfer and achieve their dreams. Class sizes are small and so teachers are really engaged and involved with every student. The local campus is great and open with natural lighting and lots of areas for students to hangout and get homework done. The cost of tuition at Carroll Community College is cheaper, and the scholarship foundation and financial aid makes Carroll a great and affordable first start in the college experience while also fighting off the burden of student loan debt. They even have scholarships for graduating students to take with them to their transfer university! And when your scholarships and awards exceed your tuition costs, Carroll gives you the rest of the money through a check to save for your future college. Carroll Community College really cares about student success.... Read 239 reviews

Alum: I recently graduated from the HVAC and Energy Technology program at CCBC. Throughout my time at CCBC, I had the opportunity to grow my skillset in the field through both classroom and hands-on experience. I was able to have flexibility and fit my coursework into my schedule while working full time. Many courses had an online option, which was great! There were, of course, classes that needed to be taken 'in person', but they also had flexible course offerings (evenings, etc.). I had a great experience at CCBC!... Read 1,349 reviews

Freshman: Taking CCBC courses online means that you often can go at your own pace- for the most part. The material is given to you either in large chunks or everything all at once, and you are expected to complete the work within the given deadlines. Many of the professors show a genuine interest in their work and give enthusiastic responses to students' work. Most professors are easily reached and respond in a timely manner. The workload isn't incredibly hard, but this again depends on the professor. The professors I've had have expected a reasonable amount of work to be done from their students.... Read 8 reviews
