Not so bright
I went to CCAC last year and I am taking summer classes right now. CCAC is a great value for those looking to gain college credits. I wouldn't reccomend CCAC to those who are looking to make friends or get a quality college atmosphere, because this doesn't exist. Most people see CCAC as the "13th grade". This is simply not the case. If you go in with this attitude, you will fail tremendously. The coursework is pretty hard considering it's a community college. The value is incredible. Also, make sure that if you're transferring to another college you check to see what classes you can and cannot transfer. CCAC may mislead you with the classes you'll need to take, and they even have sheets that do not correspond to the classes you need to take at other colleges (found this out first hand and it cost me).
Individual Value: A+, Social Life: D

This is a non profit school. You will learn if you want to. It is an excellent place to obtain a 2 year degree or lessen the cost of your four year degree. Other than one instructor I have had no issues arise that have displeased me. For $90.00 per credit it is great. I paid $500-600 a credit at schools that had much less to offer.
Education Quality: A+, Perceived Campus Safety: C
