Good reviews

I love this college, especially Levine Campus. I think it has changed over the years, because all of my classmates are my age (18-19) and have similar goals. It is honestly easy to make friends in class. My professors are super nice, but classes are lot of work. This is a good deal financially. I'm having a good time and making friends.

I completed two years at CPCC before transferring to UNC Chapel Hill. Honestly, my professors at CPCC were better than the ones at UNC because they were actually there to teach and really care about students. The CPCC professors were smart, kind, and genuinely helpful. I still keep in touch with many of them today.

I love how Central Piedmont has given me many new experiences and a lot of chances to get me more involved in student activities. Since moving to North Carolina, Ive met new people who go to the college that are really nice and fun to have conversations with.

I loved it there, George Cochran and Tom Hollis were the best teachers ever. Loved every minute of their classes. Both so kind and down to earth really learned a lot. From the both of them and George Cochran is the reason I own my on a small indie company called TCB Thunder Motion Pictures. Thanks, Geroge and Tom.

This school will shove their liberal views down your throat. Don't dare give your opinion if it opposes the democratic idology .
Overall 1.3
Very bland college with even blander courses. Much of the staff does the bare minimum especially with online courses or administrative help.

READ THIS HONEST REVIEW: DON'T SCROLL DOWN - HORRIBLE CPCC is horrible, Go to APUS. I have to say that the bad reviews are correct and it's like calling the IRS to get in contact with someone. It took me 3 months to reach someone. Once, I got signed up for the course, I was so tired of the process, I refused to pay and canceled my enrollment.

The standards at this college are sub-average. Some of the instructors are the worst ever. Very lazy. The pay is BAD, but then the instructors aren't of the highest caliber you're likely to meet. In fact, some are downright awful, unprofessional and can barely write and/or communicate effectively using grammatically correct English themselves.

The Levine campus is pretty, but it definitely doesn't feel like a college. Most people there are adults going back for a degree, so there's not really a social aspect to it. It's a convenient location. I'm glad I don't have to go back.
