It is cheap and you are getting what you pay for. You will not find the college social life you see at other colleges here. Administration and all services are very unorganized. It is a cheap/accessible way to get credits. Just try to stay on top of everything (work, grades, requirements, etc) because everything at CCAC takes a very long time.

I wouldn't be where I am today without CCAC. Most of my professors were more than willing to go out of their way to help me succeed, and the classes have been higher quality than many I've taken at other, larger colleges and universities in the area. If you want to be social, there are opportunities, but you have to seek them out and go to events!

I went to Boyce Campus, the atmosphere was great. The faculty and staff were friendly and helpful. I got my job after graduating with my degree.

I am a mom of 3, working full time. When I decided to go back to school I laughed and in a toxic relationship felt like I could never. I'm one semester away from graduating with my A.S and this feeling is incredible. The staff over at CCAC have encouraged me and reminded me that I can do anything. Thank you from a lost soul who's been found.

Great school if you live close by and want to get some classes and gen ed requirements out of the way. Not much social life, but that is expected from CCAC. Overall good school

It's a pretty good school, that tries to help you in every way possible without trying to get all your money!e.g. free tutoring, food cabinet, free parking, free gym, and free printing!

After 48 yrs and having completed 18 yrs of education - I started at the best institution I have ever encountered. This is also based on 25 yrs in academia as a professor and administrator - I owe my career to CCAC and John Eskridge, Martin Volkar, Jean Aston and others who started me on a path and a career - CCAC is the best

I have degrees from two other local universities and have been taking courses at CCAC to broaden my education and for personal enjoyment. I have found classes at CCAC to be interesting and appropriate and the faculty to be genuinely interested in the success of their students.

Very good community college. The south campus is by far the most scenic and clean.

I had to take courses at different campuses. If you have a choice take as many courses as possible at Boyce Campus. The people at other campuses do not treat you as nice the faculty, students, and employees at Boyce Campus

This community college does not care about it's students. Do not attend the nursing program here, the instructors are terrible at teaching course material and even worse at clinicals. Don't be fooled by their NCLEX scores, Nursing faculty will tell you themselves; "the program sucks and you will kill a patient within your first 3 months of working"

I've been going to CCAC for a long time. Like a decade. I have two degrees and I'm working on a thrid. Honestly, I am happy with the education I've received. Many of the teachers have doctorates and/or co teach at Pitt and CMU. For the most part they've been respectful and helpful, as long as I do my research here to make sure pick the right ones.

This review is for NORTH CAMPUS. It is TERRIBLE. Administration/Registrar is so unprofessional and rude. For international/ transfer students, STAY WAY from this campus as far as you can. Be careful on the evaluation process for your transfer credits (I had to request the re-evaluation from other campus). Stay way from STEM majors(Multimedia,etc)
