BEST COLLEGE EVER!

Suny Rockland is a great school however some things they do are just not right. Financial Aid is very unorganized and always late letting you know what you are going to get a scholarship for or financial aid. Some of the chairs of the Dept dont listen to the students when they complain about a professor .Now that school is free go to another school

SUNY Rockland is the best college I have ever attended. It's a faculty that puts their students first. It also has great academics and opportunities not only for your resume but for your own pleasure as a student. It's a great first step into college and I would recommend it to anyone that is looking for success and memories

Wonderful Opportunities never seen such a caring staff who will go above and beyond for their students. Many classes were challenging but definitely prepared me for the job force. Thank You RCC for the wonderful years. I highly recommend this community college

Truly one of the worst colleges ever. Don’t let the “affordability” ploy fool you. This college doesn’t care about financially disadvantaged nor mentally ill students. The financial aid and administrative staff are completely unhelpful. Tuition costs are outrageous and filled with so many bogus fees all to rip students off. DON’T GO HERE!

Everything about this glorified high-school is awful. Professors are mentally and verbally abusive (especially in the Health Science department),people in records and billing department need to go back to college because they completely mess up everything on your student account. Save yourself the trouble and go anywhere but here!

This was the worst college experiance ever. When u seriously need help u get send around to a ton of people and never really get the help u needed. I was on my last year of RCC & had trouble with one of my prof cuz she was old and was forgetful as in first stage alzheimer's &they ignored the fact and There was no other class so I was forced to stay
Overall 1.2
Do NOT do Nursing at RCC. The staff is absolutely horrible. There is zero communication. The staff makes it very hard for the students to pass.

its bad
Overall 1.5
I graduated Im 2 years which is not common at this university. I made it through but if I would of done it all over I would of never went here. It trying to be a hater but it was like pulling teeth, staff doesnt care about quality of work and only 5% of staff is full time. If you plan on transfer half your credits will transfer. Do your research

Basically High School but easier, unless you're in the honors program. Then it's slightly harder High School. There are bad teachers, it's wise to look them up beforehand. Not a lot of leeway with teachers if you're in the honors program though. Food tastes like garbage and is over priced Gym is mandatory for some reason. 2/10 can't wait to leave.
