I
ended up at DCC by default for I had no
idea what I wanted to do yet. My first
year was socially great. I met friends through friends,
but as the semesters passed, those friends left and I
was left with less people to socialize with. If
you are coming to DCC without anyone from a previous
school, don't plan on meeting too many people. On
average, there are about three or four people from each
of my classes that I acquaint myself with and have
one of those “hi in the hallway” relationships. It
never extends into hanging out with these people out of
school. Most of the professors are great. They have
mandatory office hours that no one goes to because a
lot of the students at DCC don't care about grades
or their education (I used to be one of them).
But if you're interested in boosting your grade a
letter, I'd recommend visiting your professors every now and then
and going over some of the class material that you
may be fuzzy with. This allows the professors to
connect with you on a personal level. I'm currently
great friends with some of the department heads. Even
if I don't currently have them as a professor, I
sometimes go in just to say hi. Because of
this, I've been invited to dinners or speakers that come
to Dutchess. The head of the history department is
in a band and invites me to all of their
shows. So if you show interest in learning, the
professors will absolutely notice and treat you like a friend. This also provides you with a huge connection
for letters of recommendations. I've applied to about 8
schools for Fall 2010 and have literally had a different
professor write me a letter of recommendation for each school.
This way, I don't annoy the hell out of
one or two of them.
