Ratings are on a 1-10 scale
| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | maybe | It would depend on where they're located. I don't recommend making a long drive to a community college unless there is no other choice. |
| Program Reputation | I've moved out of the area, so can't give a positive or negative review. From my experience, it was wonderful. | |
| Program Quality | 10 | I was very satisfied with the program provided by the Community College. The instructors were people that actually practiced what they preached. |
| Instruction | 8 | As stated previously, the instructors were familiar with the field. One (or more) of my instructors was a CPA. |
| How Difficult | 5 | I'm good with numbers, so it's not possible to give a difficult rating to anything relating to such. That being said, my instructors were STELLAR. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | I was very satisfied with the experience. I feel that it prepared me for my current position. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 10 | I worked full-time and took full-time credit hours, and was still able to be successful. I would hope that others would have the same experience! |
| Academic Facilities | 7 | I was able to find anything I needed in the library. Times have changed, so I hope they have kept up with technology. |
| Social Life | I cannot give a rating on this. When I attended college, I was married and working full-time, so had no time for real social interaction. | |
| Placement Services | 2 | When I was in college, there was no assistance for job placement after graduation. It's too bad, because I really could've used a leg up. |
| Alumni Network | 3 | I've never dealt with the alumni network. I graduated 7 years ago, and can't say I've ever had contact with them. |
