If you don't research your teachers you are likely to end up with a very bad one. Bad meaning seems bothered by questions, working in general, and has no care about your success or interest in the subject. This makes whatever course twice as hard. I often have to teach myself all material which in addition to class time makes it very hard to work even part time. The occasional passionate teacher, let alone friendly teacher is very refreshing, however these teachers should be abundant and that is far from the case at Dutchess Community "College".

I am thrilled to be done with DCC. It was a complete waste of time. The only thing it was good for was getting me into another school which I had already gotten into 2 years prior but was not prepared to go off on my own yet. If I could go back in time and make my decision again, Dutchess Community College would not even cross my mind. The teachers are mostly terrible (I had 2 good teachers in my 4 semesters), the advisement staff is useless and the students are not the friendliest. Nobody even bothers with one another cause everyone hates it just as much, so people just want to go to their classes, get shit done and get the hell out of that dreadful place. Only positive thing about DCC is their breakfast sandwiches.

I went to DCC for four years because I changed my major after having a child. I graduated last May (2010) with a degree in Business Administration. I enjoyed my time at DCC because not only were the teachers friendly but they also genuinely made me feel like a paycheck was not their only reason for being there. I learned alot during my time here and was able to maintain a promotion to a supervisor position and care for my young son. The classes were flexible and my last semester I took both day and night classes and attened both the main and south (Wappingers Falls) campuses. The price was affordable and covered completely by my federal aid (I even got money back). There are many night clubs, bars etc. nearby but you do have to talk to people to find out where if you are not a local, which is hard to do because the highschool cliques transfer right into this college. The school is accredited and recognized by most as "Harvard on the Hudson" for the exceptional education they provide. I am no longer interested in working in the Business field (switched to medical) but it is a good degree to have to fall back on. Overall Dutchess is a great college for people who have a busy life already but want to get ahead.
