Carroll Community College

It is a wonderful school for all students. It is only a 2 year school, but all students have an equal opportunity. It is a commuter school only. My favorite part about carroll is all the wonderful teachers, they are always available to help. The school even has free tutoring for students.

When i lost my sister to suicide last year I began to fall into a deep depression, I was also in the midst of my studies. The faculty and dean of the college were very supportive in helping me succeed and get through the semester. Overall if you seek help you will get it.

Carroll Community College is a great school for those interested in saving money compared to a four year institution while still gaining a quality education. The staff/faculty is amazing, with professors who have very flexible schedules and are committed to student success.

I came into Carroll with a terrible attitude towards the institution, I had decided to go to community college because I couldn't pay for four years at a University. I applied for the Hill Scholars program and immediately fell in love with the opportunities it provided for me, both in and out of class. We might be a small school but it lets you become close with your professors and other staff members. I became a student worker after my first semester here and love that they work around my classes and give me a whole new way to network through the college. As someone who understands the disappointment of not being able to go to a four-year school right out of graduation, Carroll is a lovely atmosphere to enter and become a steadfast member.

I believe Carroll is a very diverse school and it has a lot to offer in terms of academics. Even though it is just a Community College it is very involved with extracurricular activities. They also have a lot of off-campus activities such as trips to New York and Hershey park, which I have been on and really enjoyed. Overall, Carroll is a great school to be apart of.

Carroll is a great pathway to start off your college career. The professors care about your education and career pathway. You will find the facilities are up to date and are available at anytime. As a student you will find that Carroll will open up many experiences that will prepare you to move on in life.

I would tell myself not to stress. I should not have been so worried about the future. I should always take one day at a time. The things that I thought were a big deal back in high school mean nothing to me now. College is not as scary as it seemed to my high school self. I wish I could have told myself that back when I was 17 stressing about scholarships and applications. I definitely turned out okay. In fact, my life now in college is better than what I ever expected.

The worst thing is that not everybody is as involved as I am. A lot of people just go home after their classes and do not participate in campus events.

Someone who wants to go to a big school should not go here.

Great faculty and staff who will go lengths to help their students. I've benefited greatly from their great personal strives to help students learn.

Don't stress! Be yourself, enter with an open mind, and get ready to cherish the next four years because you'll only live them once! Be excited for the next chapter of your life.

If a person is looking for a great education at a very affordable price, look into attending Carroll Community!

My school is close to home, no staying on campus expense, not such an expense on gas, works with students for paying the tuition, and is just an overall good setting for students to work in.

Carroll Community College is more unique than other colleges for a few reasons. The first reason is that the campus employees are more interactive with the students than at other schools. A second reason would be that while these employees are more interactive, there are also on campus jobs offered to students. These jobs are unlike other jobs, they work around your, if you are a student, class schedule, and when you are free then you work. A third reason is the activities offered at the college for the students to participate in range from sports to academic clubs.

If I was to go back in time to talk to myself as a high school senior about making the transition from high school to college, I would tell myself the following statements: 1. On your first day in college, do not be affraid to talk to other students, it is just like transitioning from middle school to high school, they are in the same boat as you are and are feeling just as nervous about college and making friends as you are. 2. While you are in class, pay attention, do not goof off, actually try in your classes, and study for each test, hard, so that your gpa stays good, and you get on and stay on the Deans list, which is like honor roll was in high school. Those are the two key statements that I would tell myself if I was able to travel back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior about the transition from high school to college.

The class sizes are small, so there are many oppertunities for 1-on-1 instruction with the professor. There were many times when I was able to attend a professor's 2nd class in order to get additional help on a project.

Transition into adult life and college life can be tricky. The key to success is to surround yourself with friends that care about what they are learning. Find a dream that is exciting to you and make it personal. Don't let anyone, including yourself, tell you "you can't do it". Believe in yourself. Give your instructors the respect and courtesy they deserve. They are public servents and put many hours into preparing the material they are teaching. Don't be embarassed to ask for help when you don't understand. Questions only get answered when asked, and curiousity has lead to some of the greatest discoveries. At times, it may seem difficult, but it is easier to accomplish now. You have few family and financial responsibilities while you are young, so take this time for yourself. Be disciplined in your studies and care about your work - let it reflect who you are. Find the tallest obstical and tackle it one step at a time. Then, you look back and see what you accomplished and thank the instructors, family and friends that helped you through.

Students who are sure of what they want to do and are seeking a Bachelors Degree shouldn't attend Carroll. Carroll Community College is best suited for the student who isn't sure what they want to do. They can test out many general disciplines to find something that interests them without a lot of cost.
