Good Things To Say About CCAC:
1. It is cheap.
2. I've pretty much been in charge of my own scheduling.
Some Not-So-Good Things To Say About CCAC:
1. I don't find out whether or not I got any of the fall scholarships that I applied for until after August 2nd, yet the first fall tuition payment was due today. In other words, those largely depending on scholarships still need to somehow come up with 30% of their tuition before they even know if they won the scholarships.
2. My program is a joke. Actually, my program is fairly rare. The problem with this is that my core classes transfer almost nowhere. Nobody understands how to decide what they're equivalent to. I mean, I'd think "Intro to Social Work" equalling "Intro to Social Work" would be common sense, but apparently it isn't. I'm going to end up as a sophomore somewhere.
3. The advisers are shit. I've spent maybe 20 minutes with them. Total. In the three years that I've been there, and this includes when I changed majors. And now I'm supposed to get personal letters of recommendation from them? Right.
4. Security is a joke, too. My school ID says Summer 2007 on it, and I wasn't even a student until Fall 2007. We're supposed to have new ones or at least new stickers on them each semester, and they're supposed to be checked at events and in the Cougar's Den. I'm in the den at least 3 days a week, and went to the Homecoming dance without ever showing it to anyone.
5. The place is run like a business. As my best friend just reminded me, they'd rather hire an unqualified professor than cancel a class when they should, such as when his networking professor died a few days before the last fall term. CCAC gave the class to a woman who'd taught only Intro to Computers...as an online course.
I'm sure I'll add more later. Or better yet, feel free to add on to this in the comments.
