What to do for fun Attend events for free with student I.D and bring a friend.

Categories Rating Comments In three sentences This school is flexible and has different ways to attend classes and earn your degree. There is always places to go for help, especially because there are three different campuses which you have access to. This school is all about being there to help you but you have to know to ask for the help and take it.
Tips for prospective students The website has a lot of good information so if you have questions or concerns look online and use the search toolbar and you'll either find your answer or it will direct you to where you can go for more help.
Academic Rigor I felt that all of my classes were challenging but never impossible. I took many different types of classes which I believe touch on all different teaching/learning types. Since I am good on computers and more of a visual learner The online classes were great and the books and content were all presented by my teachers very clearly and concise.
Dorm Life There were no dorms on the campus I attended but I the college helps with any students that need housing and have work with them for an travel by bus or train.
Food and Dining For the few times I was on campus for classes there was always fairly healthy choices for food and drink. Since there was a culinary department, we had a restaurant on our campus that we could go and sit down to eat which were part of the culinary students studies.
What to do for fun Depending on which campus you attend or are working at you are in the suburbs or city of Buffalo and you're always surrounded by local restaurants and shops
Bang for the buck I work full-time and went to school part-time and was able to get through my associates degree with no debt.

Categories Rating Comments In three sentences Erie Community College has the cheapest tuition, and is more affordable for the basic gen. ed. requirements needed for transferring to a 4 yr school. As far as Student Life goes, you need to decide what you want as a student and create it, the resources are available. If you have a problem and think you are correct, seek advice and remember it's college and a learning experience for the real world!
Tips for prospective students Be responsible and take responsibility for your grades and your college experience. It is up to you to decide where you go and how you get there. Erie Community College is a great stepping stone to other opportunities in the work force, as well as furthering you academic career
Academic Rigor Some programs are extremely competitive, but will prepare you to move forward.
Dorm Life There are dorms at the downtown city campus, which isn't in the best area or location . North campus is supposed to have dorms built by 2013 and not sure what is occurring with south campus
Food and Dining The food is good and affordable priced. They have some healthy choices, and a hot line with gourmet meals for around 5 dollars.
What to do for fun Again as a student you have to create your experience. There are funds available through student government and the clubs, as well as the athletics department if there is something you want to play or do. You pay a large activity regardless of the campus you go to, so you might as well take advantage of it.
Bang for the buck The bookstore is great, but check on line for cheaper books!
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus The Student lounge has become somewhat of the anime and gaming hangout. There arent any real student oriented areas on campus to get away other than the lounge.
Great for these types of students Students that really dont want to be involved and are commuters, to go to class and go home.
Clubs and Activities Anime and Gaming, Jazz Kats, Dental Hygeine, (basically almost every degree program has a club). If you want a club other than a degree club for fun, you'll have to find others with the same interest and start one. Hence Anime and Gaming and Jazz Kats.
Campus Safety Campus Safety is pretty secure inside the buildings, but could use more cameras outside.

Categories Rating Comments In three sentences The class sizes here are relatively small and personal. I attend night and weekend classes and find the professors extremely knowledgeable and they apply a real world philosophy when it comes to learning. It is also the most affordable option in the area.
Tips for prospective students Use the resources provided by the school. They offer great library services, and English labs.
Academic Rigor I find the classes challenging but not overly so. I am still able to complete my part-time course load while I work full-time and raise a family.
Dorm Life I commute so I cannot comment on dorm life.
Food and Dining I attend classes at North Campus and have had the opportunity to arrive early enough to try the food in the cafe. It's one of the benefits of going to a school with a culinary arts program.
What to do for fun I'm a big fan of living in Buffalo. There is so much to do in the area. There a beautiful parks and tons of festivals and concerts in the summer. We're a short drive to Toronto and an even shorter drive to Niagara Falls and the people are friendly and nice.
Bang for the buck Since I pay out of pocket, cost is important to me. I feel like I'm getting the best deal since most of my professors also work in the fields in which they teach, they are providing me with a realistic education.
Great for these types of students Great for working mothers and fathers, those still deciding on a career, and those who benefit from small class size.
Campus Safety North Campus is very safe. I have attended classes at city campus and have requested a security escort to the parking lots with no trouble at all.
