While this may appeal to non-traditional students, those looking to save money prior to transferring to a four year university, people wanting to obtain nothing further than an associates degree, or those attempting the odd course here & there for personal enrichment, students seeking the “typical college experience” should be prepared for a let down. 

But getting back to those who aren’t expecting that “typical college experience”, DCCC offers a convenient campus location with hours that appeal to both day and evening students.  I work full time and never had an issue with scheduling or contacting staff & the financial aid office. 

Additionally, you can not beat the prices.  At the 4 year college I eventually transferred to, one semester is costing me more than an entire year at DCCC.  Let me stress the cost savings…this is the main reason I attended DCCC for 2 years prior to transferring out.  Private school is significantly more expensive, and 2-less years there equals significantly cheaper student loans. 

I will say that the students in my evening classes tended to be older as the majority of people enrolled in night courses are working adults.  But this proved fortunate as the younger students seemed content with pulling nothing higher than C’s….the lowest grade one can get to transfer out to a 4 year college. 

I’ve found that teachers employed at night were more likely to have day jobs and were thus less likely to be available as compared to those employed full time by DCCC.  But the teachers are competent and make themselves readily accessible - albeit it may not fit your schedule. 

Course work was challenging enough.  I felt as if I got my monies worth and am confident that I left that school with more knowledge than I had at my initial enrollment.  But with that being said, I still feel as one should expect a heavier course load at typical colleges.
