I love GRC! I graduated in 2021 and now attend Western, I like my new school but I miss GRC so much. The classes are great and flexible. The professors are good if you read their reviews before signing up. The campus is beautiful and very welcoming, I'm sad I only got to be on campus for two quarters because of covid. Overall, I 100% recommend!

Their IT/Cybersecurity program is an excellent one. Their instructors are very focused on the students and will go the extra mile to assist them on anything even if it isn't related to the class.

Pick another community college to spend your money at. I've only ever attended classes here during Covid. I am less than impressed. Feels like the instructors are trying to prove something by making classes INCREDIBLY difficult. This is my second degree and I've never had so many awful instructors in one place before. An absolute dumpster fire.

I've been at Greenriver since the begging of the pandemic. It's fall 2021 and they are still online with some classes in person which sucks. They need to rehire professors because some of them are god-awful. But there are some professors that are angels.

Not great, not terrible. It can be hard to get the classes you need to graduate in 2 years, and forget about it if you actually need to work. Professor quality is pretty low compared to other 2-year colleges. The campus in Auburn seems to have a lot of crime. Near-daily alerts regarding assaults and thefts. And no parking.
