Serena - 02/18/2023

Cleveland State is a community college and in that, it will never have all the opportunities that the big universities do. However, I have been able to meet incredible students there, especially in the Honors College, and I have never had a professor that hasn't been incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and available. The campus is also kept clean and is very large for a community college.

Brittany - 08/23/2018

I like Cleveland State Community College. I haven't officially started until August 27th but I believe this year will be great. Everyone there is so nice and very helpful when you have questions that need to be answered. They also offer many great opportunities for you get involved with school and help you find your future. I met with some of my teachers and they offer assistance in anything I need. They are also very open about ideas that can make the school better. Cleveland State has many things to offer such as the student center where you can play pool or just hang out. Or they have the gym where you can borrow equipment as long as you return it. I love this school and I can't wait to see what more it has to offer.

Caylee - 02/21/2018

It's a fairly good yet small college in the base of Cleveland. I've been really happy with how well the people on campus treat the other faculty and students and how the students all get along really well. The food is a bit pricey and there's not a lot to choose from but honestly with the school located where it is, getting any food you want is of no problem at all.

Callie - 01/12/2017

Great school. Love the experiences so far. I can not wait till the new semester starts so I can get back. It's a wonderful environment, my teachers and advisors have been super supportive and clear. My field of study is beyond great they even hired adjunct professors to accommodate students who play certain instruments like me.

  2. What should every freshman at your school know before they start?

    If there is anything I would tell my past self, it would be to take your time on deciding what you want to be. Everyone pressured me to go ahead and start college whether I knew what I really wanted to major in or not. I have wasted almost two years of college on courses I never really felt were my calling. If everyone would have just let me take my time in making my decision I never would have dropped out and be in the position I am in today. Now I have a daughter and I am struggling to give her everything she needs because of the dept dropping out of school had put me into. I am now attempting to go back in order to gain a fresh start and raise my daughter in a home that can provide her everything she would ever need or want.

  3. Describe the students at your school.

    Well I am currently not enrolled in Cleveland State Community College, but I have attended there about two years ago. I am, however, attempting to go back in the fall of 2010. My classmates, as I remember, vary in different ways. Some were very bright and would put alot of effort into their work while others seemed to think college was just to show independence and have fun. For the most part, all the students were very nice and helpful to those who has problems understanding assignments.
