CCP changed my life. The information I learned helped me to make better decisions. Great Professors overall and the Counselors are always helpful ad insightful. I thought I hated school, turns out after attending CCP, I just needed the right teaching by the right professors!

An incredible opportunity in Philadelphia to learn from a very broad selection of disciplines. I moved here from another state and I've been so happy to join CCP. Gorgeous campus buildings. Great teachers. Very informative and well-organized coursework in the music programs. Not too fast paced, but still learn all the most important information.

It's a good school for students to begin their college experience.

This school is officially the best overall. The feeling of belonging to, and being a part of, was obvious. After graduating and attending a four year college, I noticed that every student was just a student or number. In comparison to CCP, it was night and day. CCP allowed students to see who they were becoming and that’s freedom.

This school has the worst math faculty.

This place is a no-go. The counselors are disrespectful and they don't care about students' futures or academics. The staff, security, FA office, teachers, etc are simply careless. I was supposed to transfer to Kutztown University last year,, and the office "LOST" my transcripts! How do you "lose" one piece of paper that goes in the MAIL??
