This is a review specifically of the Clarkston perimeter campus. It is not for everyone, but I think it has a pretty good community college-like setting. It's on the smaller side of campuses, but there are a wide variety of types of students that attend. There also appears to be a high Muslim population if that is something you are looking for community-wise. I haven't had a particularly bad experience with any professors yet, but you must research for the best chances. If you are looking to go back to school, this is a good school. I've seen plenty of people like that on this campus and they give a lot of resources in the library and tutoring centers from what I've seen. There are quite a few dual enrollment/early college students on campus as well. This is something to consider if taking classes with high schoolers bothers you. It is important to note that the actual location of the campus. The campus is a woody area, so it is not odd to see things like squirrels and roaches.

I think it is a very great school to be in. I do it online but one year I will be going in person to meet to new people and connect with them. Also, be able to experience the social groups after school and clubs as well. I hope to have fun at the school.

    GPC is a great start for anyone beginning their education, but someone who does not like a small campus should not attend GPC.

The students who want a college that gives the total college experience should not attend GPC.
