Love GCC! Gives you the college experience that is easy to manage. Learning is gradual, classes are well paced, tutors always available. Its a great school to dip your toe into college before jumping in the deep end at a 4 year school.

Good college, if you live around the area (other than Batavia)I would recommend the smaller campuses. You get to know the staff and professors better and they tend to be more down to earth and willing to help. Main campus isn't bad but you feel more like a number than a student. Overall great place to start if you are wanting to transfer.

No one in this faclity is on the same page,do yourself a favor do your own schedule because these people will have you taking classes ateyou DO NOT NEED!This was not my issue but saw it happen to many students,also a majority of the professors at this school are unprofessional and not at all helpful,the grad rate is 29 percent that should tell you!

I was from out of state and had to live in my car because they did not provide information, while students who lived 10 minutes away stayed at the dorms. I was told several things and then another person told me something else. The instructors are NOT enforced to stick to the syllabus.
