Studying at Essex County College can produce a roller coaster of emotions and thoughts. Upon first arriving, everyone seems to feel different. The environment is very different from high school, the students are all doing their own things, and you are basically on your own. However, in order to succeed and get peace of mind, slowly through your classes you will make new friends. The school has a small student population compared to many other schools and the campus is small so you will start to see the same people. The roller coaster of emotions are produced the first semester or during one of the last two. You need to keep peace of mind and know your purpose for why you are in the school in the first place. You are basically going to school to learn, get a degree, and hopefully continues your education elsewhere. You are NOT going to socialize and think everything will be easy because even though it is a two year institution, it can be quite the challenge. If you keep this consistency, study and do your work, you will be fine. When you take the higher math classes, like calc I, I, II, linear algebra, differential equations, etc., you must learn to teach yourself some topics. The instructors are very good but the classes go fast and you need to be disciplined enough to go and study the material. Remember MATH takes PRACTICE!
Second, this roller coaster is produced academically because the work does tend to build. As the semester progresses you may have exams for say calcIII and linear one after the other. This is not high school and the material is no joke so this turns to be a very big challenge. All that information is extensive and quite intricate to fill your head with. As a result, developing good habits is key! Start studying a week earlier and keeping up with your homework. Don't leave it until the last minute. I guarantee you will fail!
Overall, this school has thought me many wonderful things. I have integrated into an environment i never saw myself in, i have developed time management skills, i have become very disciplined, and i have learn so much from the professors and students. There used to be a sign by the math classes on the second floor(dont know if it is still there) but it read Gateway to college. This basically defines this school to the last detail. If you keep up with your work, learn the material, learn from your professors, learn from the tutors and students, and most importantly learn to read to understand, YOU WILL go to a better college. At that college, you have nothing holding you back and with ECC's study and foundations you will have a great future ahead. Trust me I know.
Best of luck to you.
Read, practice, and you will do great!

Essex County College has every class of professor. From the one that give you every day note and the one that explain the entire classes without note. If you like to pay attention rather than write you can easily get an A. However, there are classes that you need to study a lot like math and biology. No problem if you know how to study you will fine, but if you need help there are a lot of people that are willing to help you. For example, we have two centers where offer free tutoring for any class that you need. Plus the professors are very nice and are willing to help you in anything that you need. read full review
