The most ridiculous place I have ever been to. They really need to make a change with this school either by having merge to another school or just shut it down because this is not going to work out anymore. I have had enough with this place all these grades and pathetic excuses have brought nothing to this campus.

I was supposed to graduate in the Spring of this year until I found out! Oh and that would be my stupid college team telling me that I don't have enough credits to graduate all because I have dropped out some stupid college courses that I never wanted to take all because of some stupid useless professors who don't how to teach that damn material!!!

Lets get something straight in case of you idiots dont have the guts to realize! WCC will never get better after the pandemic ends! It will always be the same garbage half rated school in the history of civilization! Speaking of how many times has WCC been offering better opportunities for everyone. Absolutely Nothing! No one should trust you!!!!

I thought Westchester Community was a nice school. Everything changed when everyone switched to online. It became more work and stressful. I am very disappointed in this school. I hope everything gets better when we get the vaccine.

Ugh! I seriously dont get it why this schools internet is still buffering. I am getting sick and tired of Professors starting it over and over again. Absolutely the worst college with the most stupidest outdated WiFi. I hope this is over soon and I can just finally graduate from this place. I cant stand it and I especially hope they shut it down

Who ever said WCC is a great school must be pretty stupid right now! I honestly can't wait until I graduate from this garbage school and If you idiots think that WCC is a great choice for your, do yourself a favor and pick a different school! You won't enjoy it because WCC is far by the WORST 2-YEAR COLLEGE of my life and you will regret this!!!

This is ridiculous! Utterly Ridiculous! How dare WCC delay the class of 2020 Graduation until December!!! UGH!!! I am a fashion student and I will not deal with ridiculous low life college administration to put up with this kind of stupidity. By the way the food looks horrible and the design of the Student Center Cafeteria looks so ugly and stupid!
