Rowan College of South Jersey Cumberland Campus

I originally went to this college as a kid and I did not take it seriously. As a result, I failed and went out into the real world. I learned a lot of life lessons that I didn't have to. After I got fired from my job of ten years, I went back. I was focused this time and college changed my life for the better. I made some good friends and I am on a career path that I really enjoy. I know the professors aren't the greatest, but you can still learn from them and be a self starter. Stay humble and have an open mind. Don't let anything distract you from your goal. Keep on top of your financial aide, apply for grants and scholarships, do your classwork and go out of your way to make your portfolio better. That's the mantra I followed and it worked. I'm going to be graduating soon and I'll be going to Rowan in the fall. College is like everything else in life, you get what you put in.

As a college student here I can believe that Cumberland County College is a great community college to go to. The college has a wide variety of people of all different ages and ethnicities. The professors and staff of the college are always friendly and helpful. The college campus it self is beautiful and well designed. Creative art is spread throughout the Campus. There is always fun clubs you can join all over the Campus. Some clubs are academic others not as much. What ever you are looking for in a college you can find here at a affordable price in CCC

The staff at CCC are very diverse. I graduated 10 years ago and I had my share of the terrible professors and some excellent ones. My main gripe is the financial aid office. I don't know how many times I had to go there and whatever I went there for didnt get fixed. Each person does their own thing and they don't run it by the others. The library is large and the staff are very informative. They'll help you locate what your looking for. There is a computer lab that has long hours to assist students that need to write up papers or just check an email. The student staff can help you with a program if you ask. Just make sure to sign in. Kevin McGarvey is an amazing English professor. I worked alongside with Bernie Castro and he is the one to ask about IT (I learned a lot from him). I know Frank Phillips is no longer staff here as he's retired but he was one of the best professors there is. With that being said, one of my professors was arrested. So, they can be hit or miss.

When you truly value your education you'll work extra hard for what you want. Don't let others deter your dreams.

A mixed bag. It's very possible to get unlucky and have a terrible experience, but for the most part the staff at least meets status quo. If you're lucky like me, you'll be surrounded by great professors, bosses, advisors, etc. to help you achieve more in a four year college. Bottom line is this: to get the best experience here, ask everyone you know about professors you've had. Its important to know about each professor in order to maximize your success.

Also, try to avoid online classes. It might work for you, but I had a terrible experience with all 3 of my online courses.
