申请点评
- Academic Experience: The academics are of the top 10% of community colleges in the nation. And I can definitely stand by it. The academics are challenging (which, I love challenges) and they provide the curriculum, knowledge and information you need. Even though these classes are challenging, the workload is very manageable. It's tiring but manageable. Enrollment is very easy and the class sizes are small and based on individualized attention. Advisors have anywhere between 3-5 students, so the individualized attention is very nice, especially if you need help with something, or just need some advice. It's a great school. I can't say enough about it.
- Academic Experience: There are health allied programs at my school but I wished they had a larger varieties of programs to choose from. Overall, these classes are a good start to get myself in the health field. I am majoring in per-medical studies. I will be an incoming freshmen this year and I expect the work to be a bit overwhelming. The facilities here offer work study and also list job opportunities for students. There's also a few clubs to join. The campus here is small but is a calm environment.
- Academic Experience: The curriculum of being a music major here sets you up very nicely if you are transferring to a 4-year college or university. Since it is a 2 year, professors can just focus on the curriculum of a college freshman and sophomore, which makes for in-depth conversation on each subject, that way you're not rushing through each chapter in the textbook. The workload is more than most majors, but the workload sets you up for your further experiences as a junior/senior elsewhere.
- Academic Experience: In the Athletic Training program the advisers are great. They are very helpful and willing to work with your schedule.
- Campus Resources: The resources are tremendous at convenience anywhere you need it. Whether you need some help on homework, the teachers are easily reachable by email or phone. You need some help on homework but the teachers are unavailable? We have what is called a Comprehensive Learning Center. There we have student tutors and professional tutors willing and able to help you with any subject! Or, if you just want to hang out and have fun, the student center is a popular hangout. You can go eat a good meal in the cafe, you can play pool, ping pong, basketball, or volleyball to get rid of your boredom! The resources are great!
- Campus Resources: sometimes the computer worked and didn't worked as well the main problem on the campus was the internet connection which theyu had tried to install wireless at the school but it hd kept malfunctioning.
- Campus Resources: Good location in Garden City. Modern facility, and laid back campus life.
- Campus Resources: there were afew resources for students such as the library or the student union, they also had support programs for students who are stuggling in thier class work.
- Student Body: My town is a diverse place so it's not unusual to find different ethnicity at my college. In the past few years, we had more African American students attending this college. This school consist of below middle class people. Many of these students work part-time to pay off their loans. There are many students who dropped out of high school and wanted to complete education so they would attend this college to obtain a GED in order to get a better job. There are also students who are going to college for 2 years then transfer to a 4-year school.*(4)
