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 1,754 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

Other: I attend Harford Community college as a dual enrolled student. I enjoy earring college credits in high school and saving money but signing up for classes can be difficult. It can be hard to get in touch with guidance counselors. Some English professors made the course harder than it has to be. Math test are taken using honor lock. It can be difficult to figure out how to use honor lock at first. Overall this community college isn’t bad. I’ve had opportunities to go on field trips and work with organizations like the NAACP. The college has a help center where they help students with classes. Everyone is friendly and they have events where they give out free ice cream or host yoga classes!... Read 516 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 917 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

Freshman: Growing up, I had heard many bad things about community colleges which distorted my view on the Frederick Community College. During the application process, I was greeted with friendly staff who went above and beyond to answer my questions and make the process easy for me. The campus is comfortable and well-kept making it enjoyable to walk through. The classes are small, but this allows for better relationships with fellow peers and teachers. Overall, my expectations are the only thing I regret coming into Frederick Community College.... Read 474 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

Other: When i decided to take a GED course at Hagerstown Community College, It was the best desision I could ever make. They are willing to help and, thanks to that program I got my GED. I'm looking forward to take credit classes this fall 2023. I wouldn't change anything from HCC it's an amazing College full of opportunities for the students. I would definetly recommend it! Their continuing education courses are amazing too!... Read 330 reviews

Junior: Chesapeake was not my original plan when attending college, but I am so glad I started here! Most professors truly care about you, and there are so many things that the college's programs do to support their students. Huge shoutout to the TRIO program and the Student Engagement office! I feel as if I truly got a high-quality education for an affordable price. I am transferring to a private college after I receive my Associate's degree, and I would have never been able to afford this, or even feel as if I could achieve admittance, had I not started at Chesapeake....

Freshman: Attending CSM has been amazing so far. I did take a break for about 2 years, but I am so glad I've returned. The teachers have been nothing but helpful in my journey towards my academic goals and the overall sense of community is just amazing! I would like to maybe see a change in the hours that the school book store is and maybe if they would be able to carry books instore that would be helpful to some students.... Read 781 reviews
