What should every freshman at your school know before they start?
I would tell myself to be ready to take care of myself. I would tell myself that college is different from high school. There is a big difference in homework and studying. You better listen there is not enough time to goof around in class. Every class is imporant no matter what the it is. Classes equal money and its your money and you need to grow up and take this seriously because you should do what you need to. Without concentration and a good work ethic and an idea of what I would like to do with my life it will be callegning to focus on what must be done. I would like to let myself know that while things happened in high school life happens in college and while you are atteneding college. Lives can change in 4 or even 2 years and its ok to make mistakes but do not give up. This is worth all the trouble that it takes because it will change your future for the better. I would like to tell myself that it is just like a softball game every inning , every swing, every play can change the outcome and future.

There's a ton of clubs, but not many of them seem too filled as most students are busy outside of classes working part time jobs. There isn't too much to do around here for college students (bigger cities are about 2-5 hours away). If you were from out of state, like myself, then you'd probably meet your friends on campus or a part time job.

The most frustrating thing about my school is that it's on a hill. When the whether gets bad, getting to school can be a life-threatening endeavor. Once this year the hill has taken a student's life, and with how brutal the winter has been, everyone is on their toes. Education is important, but safety should be everyone's first factor. If your college is in a treacherous place and you're not sure you can get there safely due to weather, don't go!

Corning Community College (CCC) is a great place to get an affordable education. However, if you have the money I would suggest going elsewhere because the school does no offer the "college experience" that everyone seems to be after. If you are like me, and you are not made of money or have rich parents then you will find CCC to be a great place for you.

Read all 2 answers What is the stereotype of students at your school? Is this stereotype accurate?
Poor people that are in 13th and 14th grade. This is true for some but not most. Most people are here because community colleges offer the same classes that would be given at a 4-year school for a tenth of the cost. These people don't care about the typical "American Pie" college life.

Read all 1 answers Describe your favorite campus traditions.
I personally believe the school is best known for the welcoming staff. Most teachers are able to learn names at a quick pace and they are friendly. Even staff that do no work as professors do almost anything to interact with students and make them feel welcome in college. Also, due to the class sizes being small it is great for students just exitting high school.
Read all 1 answers What are the academics like at your school?
Academics at the school are spread along a spectrum. One must remember that it is a community college and thus, everyone is welcome to try. You will get a mix of non competitive students and non competitive students that will balance out a class. The most competitive program at the school is the nursing program as there are limited spots and it runs through the summer and winter terms. As a Liberal Arts Math and Science transfer program student, I have found that the general education courses are more mixed with motivated and unmotivated students. Professors are almost always available outside of class to advise and help out with any questions you may have.

I was fully away of everything that the school had to offer. I visited this school many times previous to attending.
