Dutchess Community College

For being a community college-Dutchess is one of the best in NYS. It's the cheapest and well worth the money for people who work, have families, want to save to transfer, or are still undecided. Being in my early 20's and deciding to go back to school but couldn't afford a 4 year yet, this was an excellent choice! I am happy and look forward to graduation. Granted there are alot of losers from the surrounding city, the typical potheads, and there are lots of cliques! So you pretty much are a loner if your friends haven't joined you. But if you are an adult student the night classes are great-and pretty much everyone is in the same boat as you, so they are all friendly and work with you! As for the security, if you don't feel safe you simply ask security to escort you to your car, alot of students have it set up for the whole semester at a certain time after class! There are alot of clubs and stuff, you just gotta look for them. The worst part of this school is the bookstore! Everyone that works there is nasty and mean, they never answer the phone, and are never open when you need them to be!
