Classes are pretty decent depending on who your professors are. I can’t speak for every majors lectures but mine were pretty boring and professors seemed to just be there for their check. Resident living I don’t recommend! The drinking water and showering water sometimes turns yellow. We’re provided with washers and dryers but beware of your white clothes being stained from the yellow water. If something doesn’t work in your dorm good luck getting maintenance to fix it.
I haven't gone yet (just registered, going in the fall) but everyone has been knowledgeable and helpful! Apparently they have professors that also teach at Cornell, which gives some serious points. Also, the campus is beautiful—if I didn't know it was a community college, I never would have guessed! I'm very excited to see how these semesters go :)
Transferred to TC3 for the 2022-2023 school year. I'll make a pros and cons list so it's easy to compare for people considering attending.
Pros:
Great culinary program
Very inclusive of the LGBTQ and the Recovery community
Apartment style dorms
Very nice athletic field house
Cons:
Low enrollment (they use their high school program to fluff their enrollment numbers)
60-70% of student fail their first math class. A confidential source told me this is intentional. After taking a math course here, I believe it
Dorms are not very nice, no gym facilities or anything
Food is subpar
Dining hall is only open for one meal on weekends and closes early on weekdays. Options are limited
Social scene leaves a lot to be desired if you like anything even vaguely resembling partying
Nothing to do nearby
Total cost is nearly as expensive as a SUNY university. You may save a couple thousand a year if you're lucky
Not a great school, but it's good for culinary students I guess. Just go to a 4 year
