    Tips for prospective students

    Glendale Community College is the way to go and there is something for everyone.
    Great for these types of students

    Glendale Community College is a school for those who are either not ready for an university campus or rather just have some one on one time with teachers and not be treated as a number. I have had friends and family members attend GCC and all loved the campus and environment. Plus GCC is very affordable for those who can not pay for an university.

    Am learning a lot

    The professors at the Glendale Community College Main and North Campus are equally able to help students individually despite the major size differences. I attend both the main and north campuses and i get equal attention and help. There are many tutoring centers on campus that are easily accessible and many opportunities to meet with your professor.
    Am enjoying being here

    The atmosphere overall is positive and pleasant. Professors are also fun and enjoyable through class. I found that it was very easy to be attentive in all of my classes and I never got bored. There are a lot of staff at the campuses that are more than willing to help new students with smiles.
    Bang for the buck

    Glendale Community College is extremely affordable. They offer academic scholarships through high school placement, placement testing, and an honors program. Saving money is critically important, and going through community college either to achieve an associates degree or transfer to a university is the way to go! Glendale Community College is the school everyone should consider around the Maricopa County.
    Tips for prospective students

    Try your hardest on the placement test. It's nothing too difficult however if you do place in honors criteria, you will receive a full-ride presidential scholarship as I did. You will need to keep up with the requirements such as a 3.25 GPA and 12 credit hours which include one honors class. As long as you study, be attentive, and do your homework it will not be difficult to keep!
    Great for these types of students

    Students seeking an associates degree or eventual transfer to a university, Students looking to save money!!!, and students seeking to get a comfortable feel of college life before attending a major university.

    Did learn a lot

    I didn't really seem to be challenged too much in my time here. It almost seemed like I was learning a little bit more in depth information about the same topics as high school but this could have easily been condensed into maybe a maximum of a couple weeks. That was the case for most of the courses I enrolled in, however there was one where I learned some and that was my Computer Information Systems course and that is only because I had no prior knowledge of some of the programs, but the ones that I did know about I breezed right through without really learning much.
    Did enjoy being here

    This college is enjoyable and friendly. You will meet a lot of new people and have fun with them as you build a relationship with them through your course. It also seems to be a very laid back environment where there is not too much pressure. You can definitely have a good time if you attempt to.
    Bang for the buck

    This college is extremely wallet friendly especially in comparison to the universities. If you don't think that this is a fair price then look at ASU or UofA and see what you think after that. This college is a great way to get a lot of your courses out of the way and is a great transition from high school to a university.
    Tips for prospective students

    If you are looking to try and save some money and get classes out of the way that are a requirement for a degree that you are interested in the this is the college for you. Instructors are extremely approachable and can be a lot of fun in class. Classes don't seem to be too rigorous and as long as you pay attention in class and have a little bit of study time each week you should be able to breeze right through it assuming you aren't taking something like organic chemistry. You will have good instructors that know the material and offer help if needed and make it fun in some of your classes.

    Am learning a lot

    Glendale Community College is one of our surrounding community colleges in Arizona since 1965. Last year, more than 32,000 students enrolled in a wide variety of degree and certificate programs; on their way to achieving personal goals. From learning a particular subject to earning a degree or certificate to preparing for a new career or transfer to a university, students are always working hard, making life happen. The main campus at GCC North locations offers classes and programs throughout the West valley. There are supportive faculty members and helpful student services. They are ready to provide each student with the knowledge, skills and support they will need to succeed in the college and the world beyond it.
    For the past year, it has been a great opportunity for me to go to school there (ACE Plus program).I am going to be so prepared when I transfer to a university. GCC is an excellent beginning college for anyone!

    Glendale Community College is an exceptional college that offers many career choices for its students. The teachers are very knowledgeable and go the extra mile to help their students understand course materials and ultimately earn a passing grade. The school is filled with resources such a writing development center, a music building filled with pianos, and even a library with access to the hundreds of books and several computer stations to study on and about.
    Tips for prospective students

    My three main tips for prospective students are the following:
    #1. Do not allow yourself to procrastinate.
    #2. Study in multiple sessions and not all at once.
    #3. Ask questions in class no matter how simple they may be because there's a good chance someone else has the same question.
    Academic Rigor

    Classes are academically demanding and as such they also offer an opportunity to learn a significant amount of relevant information specific to the class. Class success is based on a student's ability to focus and stay disciplined throughout the entire semester.
    Dorm Life

    G.C.C. does not offer dormitories and therefore I must rate this section only 1 star.
    Food and Dining

    G.C.C. has a cafe with fresh food, coffee, and even a game room to help student's relax.
    Clubs and Activities

    Many clubs are available for practically every career choice to help students focus on achieving their goal of graduating.
    Campus Safety

    Public safety officers are always plentiful on campus and are a significant to the peace that G.C.C. enjoys.

    Glendale Community College has great teachers, I have been in GCC for about 4 years already and most of the teachers are wonderful, and willing to help students. They have a wide section of courses starting from early in the morning to courses at night time for those people that have to work mornings and only evenings are available. Lastly, the whole staff overall is great, but sometimes advisors can be no help at all.
    Tips for prospective students

    This is college is great for high schoolers graduates that are a big afraid of a big University. GCC so far has taken my fear away and now I cannot wait to transfer to a 4-year university.
    What to do for fun

    In my opinion ISA Club is great for making new friends and meeting people from around the world. Plus every week they have meetings where they share ideas and most importantly where we have fun.

    I found GCC to be convenient. Its a very easy school to access due to its location and they offer a plethora of classes, whether it be online or on campus.
    Tips for prospective students

    My first tip would be, show up 30 minutes before your class because parking can be a little tricky. My second tip, when registering for classes try to do as much online by yourself as possible. It can be a little difficult to get through to a live person in the enrollment center. My final tip,
    Academic Rigor

    In the three years that I have been attending GCC for the completion of my pre reqs, I can honestly say I feel like I am getting a good education! The instuctors seem to care about you and your grades. They push you to strive for your best and are there for you along the way. Depending upon the courses, they vary on difficulty, but no matter how hard, there is support and help throughout.
    Dorm Life

    Because GCC is a community college, they do not currently have dorms for students. However, as said before they are extremely convenient due to there accessable location.
    Food and Dining

    On campus you will enjoy dining in the student lounge. They offer many different foods and snacks and there are always tables available! They also offer starbucks coffee in the Green Bean.
    Bang for the buck

    WIth GCC you are getting a great education at an extremely affordable price compared to other schools. They offer a nice library furnished with study rooms, a coffee bar in the Green Bean, and a great student lounge
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    SInce I have attended GCC I have not experienced any unusual traditions of locations on campus!
    Great for these types of students

    It is a great school if you are looking for something convenient and affordable. As said before, they offer many different types of classes.
    Clubs and Activities

    GCC offers a ton of different clubs and activities depending upon what interests you may have! Many times the different clubs will set up booths throughout the campus to encourage students to join.
    Campus Safety

    In between classes you will see security guards patroling the school on golf carts. They also patrol the parking lot to ensure maximum safety.

    Glendale Community College has been a great college where I have had many extraordinary experiences. Here, instructors treat you very well; they are super intelligent and relate to you while teaching. GCC is the college to start your career and become a successful person in life.
    Tips for prospective students

    I would recommend upcoming students to plan out their schedule ahead of time and meet with an advisor to know what classes they need to take.
    Academic Rigor

    GCC is placed as one of the best community colleges in Arizona where many students start their careers.
    Dorm Life

    Glendale Community College is a great school with helpful advisers and, for the most part, wonderful teachers. Admittedly, the North campus reminds me of being back in high school, which is both a good and bad thing. Overall, I would recommend this school to anyone looking for a community college.
    Tips for prospective students

    Don't think you can just glide along like most of us did in high school, even though it's a community college. You WILL have to study and do your work.

    GCC AZ has convinced me that community colleges are not so bad after all. Most slackers drop-out toward the mid-semester, so class sizes decrease, and discussions become more intellectually stimulating. The professors are dedicated and plenty of them have doctorate degrees.
    Tips for prospective students

    Qualify for the honors program. Not only will you receive a stipend per semester, but you will also be educated by dedicated professors among like-minded peers.
    Academic Rigor

    The academic environment tends to be less competitive, which is very advantageous because distress exists at lower levels, and you will get to compete with the person who matters the most for your career--yourself.

    I feel like I am definitely getting my money worth, education wise. It would be really irritating if I chose to pay to go to this school and wasn't learning well and couldn't get any help. I've been to schools where the teacher is only interested in presenting the information to you and making you figure out anything beyond the text. Very annoying, infuriating and detrimental to your grades. But here, if you need help, all you have to do is ask for it. The teachers actually want you to learn and really do they best they can to work with you. And it definitely shows in my grades!

    Am learning a lot

    I am learning much more than I ever thought I would at a community college. For reasons unbeknownst to me, there is a negative stigma tied to going to a community college. But I can say from personal experience that Glendale is a flagship school that sets the standards on education with it's wonderful staff, excellent academic programs, and the students who attend.
    Am enjoying being here

    I love this school because of the teachers as well as the students. Every person I have met so far has been no less than awesome. All the students vary from age to backgrounds, each with their own impressive personalities. The teachers are tough, but understanding of your needs. They expect nothing less than excellence from you, which may deter some people. But with as much as this school provides for you academically, excelling at all that you do just comes so naturally.
    Bang for the buck

    Another reason that I love this school is because of it's amazingly affordable classes. It is probably the truth that I would not be in school right now if it were not for community colleges, especially Glendale. But the fact that the prices are lower than most does not mean that the education value is lowered as well. In fact, I feel that this school should charge more for all that they give to their students.
    Tips for prospective students

    Don't be fooled, people seem to think that community colleges are like advanced high school. You need to be prepared to handle all that is going to come your way when you register for classes. It is only as hard as you make it though, take notes, read your text books, and set aside the time to actually study, and you'll be fine. Let yourself fall behind? Well, that is all on you, no one is going to baby sit you. You can learn a multitude of things at this school, but you will only take away from your classes as much as that you put into them.
    Great for these types of students

    Glendale Community College is great for the students who want to excel in their lives. Nearly every student here holds strong to their dream of moving on to a university. As long as you have that dream, Glendale has every last little thing that you would ever need to improve your live. The only kind of student that will not do well here is the one that does not care about their education or future.

    When it comes to learning it depends strictly on the initiative of the student. Myself, I used to hate mathematics but now I am a fan of the latter. The teachers here are willing to help you, that is if you put in work to search for the best teachers.
    Am enjoying being here

    The atmosphere is unique, but it lacks one thing, student initiative. Most students want to leave school as soon as possible and yet they at times blame the school or the teachers for their poor grades. Unless one takes advantage of the great resources that GCC has to offer, then one will truly succeed. For instance if you are struggling in chemistry, they have a chemistry guided aid group called the Chemistry Solutions, same goes for math, writing, economics, computer tech, etc.
    Bang for the buck

    The classes are cheap if you are instate, but the unfortunate recent increase in tuition is going to ultimately negatively affect the school more than it was meant to help because the out of state tuition is ridiculously high.

    Enroll early!, do not wait until a couple of weeks before classes start to pick your teachers. Email your teachers in advance, let them know who you are and what you plan on benefiting from their classes. Befriend your teachers, this turns out to be a great life saver if you ever need a favor.

    The security on campus keeps it feeling safe.
    Bang for the buck

    Classes are affordable and they offer payment plans.
    Tips for prospective students

    Apply early. They offer alot of classes and they fill up quick. Though you can register and get into classes online, it's very good to meet with an enrolment adviser so that you don't end up in the wrong class. The advisors are all super helpful and they really wanna help you.

    -Adults returning to school. They offer day care and ALOT of flexibility.
    -New students coming out of highschool or from other countries. The school is simple and not as scary as university and VERY diverse! With tons of student activities. Even greek life.

    The class sizes are very small, which makes it easier to have a good relationship with your professors. Most professors come to class early and stay late, so you will always have an opportunity to meet with them privately if you have any questions. GCC also offers an awesome tutoring program that makes it easy to get help when it is convenient for you.

    I am currently taking classes at the north campus and it is BEAUTIFUL. Everything is brand new and the do a great job on keeping the school nice. Most of the students and professors are very friendly, so it makes coming to class very enjoyable.

    GCC is very affordable, and with two locations, there is always a campus near home. However, you need to keep in consideration how much books will cost you each semester. If you can not afford the books, you need to create a schedule where you can spend time in the library to check out your textbooks.
    Tips for prospective students

    Take you education very seriously. The classes are not difficult if you do your homework and study. It is so easy to get distracted by work or other things, so I would suggest making a schedule so you can have allocated times to do your school work. School is always more fun when you are succeeding!

    GCC is great for students who do not have the money to go a university, or are not yet ready to move out. GCC will provide you a great transition into a university, and I recommend it to anyone.

    This was a great place with great professors! All of the professors I had throughout the 3 semesters I attended classes for my basics were the best! They were engaging and made class easy to be a part of.

    This is the nicest campus I have ever been on. There is lots of beautiful landscaping nad many places to eat and study between classes. It is well kept and very inviting.
    Bang for the buck

    My classes have taught me so much and I feel it was all worth the pretty penny paid for it. I woudl reccomened this campus to anyone because it is easy to navigate and easy to met new people. There are endless opportunities for an enjoyable experience here.
    Tips for prospective students

    Any tips I could provide would be to sign up for classes as quickly as possible so that you cna get the courses you want and need. Take some time to explore the campus aside from classes because there is so much provided here. If you do not always have the best enviornment to study at home in they provide different computer labs and areas to sit and work on homework whenever you need it.
    Great for these types of students

    Any student who is unable to pay for university and just wants to start with basics this is a great college to start at! If you are not one for the university and you still want the college campus feel Glendale is the perfect choice because you have plenty of opportunities to meet new people, find activities to be apart of and so much more!

    I learned alot from Glendale Community College; what sets them apart from the University level is the one on one contact with your instructors because they are true professionals in their area.
    Did enjoy being here

    I enjoyed the campus it was pretty big for being a community college, the students are great, great diversity you'll meet alot of cool people. I joined a couple of clubs which made my college experience a lot better. Being at Glendale Community College gave me a little taste of the University life.
    Bang for the buck

    The pricing for tuition is fair, they offer finacial aid, and scholarships.
    Tips for prospective students

    Take advantage of the small classes and especially of your instructors; they work right with you so you could get your moneys worth. Do your homework and study for exams and you'll do great in every class.
    Great for these types of students

    For students who arent ready for the university or cant afforrd university tuition; Glendale Community College is a great college to enroll. They offer a variety of different types of classes, their science classes are very strong, they are the only community college that has their own science labs and experiments in the United States.

    The professors at GCC are dedicated to teaching, I have to see a professor blow a student off or not make him-or-herself available for extra help if needed. Beyond just a willingness to teach, many of the professors are experts in their field and have research experience, so you're getting relevant knowledge on the subject.
    Am enjoying being here

    In the Maricopa County Community College District, GCC is known for having the best student life, offering events and clubs for all interest. There are several development opportunities outside of the class and made available to the students.
    Bang for the buck

    The entire cost for tuition, fees, and books at GCC for the two-years I have been going there is just a little over the tuition alone for a semester at ASU, yet when I talk to my friends attending university they often complain about the quality of education. For the fraction of the price, I take the same courses with fewer students and more interaction with the professor.
    Tips for prospective students

    Get involved beyond class. GCC offers over 30 clubs and counting to students, and I think my participation in clubs has been the key to my success and development. Also, professors are required to have office hours, and I cannot stress enough how important is to use this time to talk with professors.
    Great for these types of students

    Any student can succeed here, it is one of the largest two-years colleges in the country and offers most programs. The small class sizes and the colleges dedication to its students makes this college feel like home.
