    I attended in 2004 to 2008, I worked on classes I needed for general requirements. My first year was after the birth of you daughter. I took 1course in the morning and 1 course in the afternoon. It made a difference to me on having the choices of classes and schedules. I did not want to be away from my child for long, at the first year of her life.
    The College made it easy to find the courses I needed and the diversity in the selection of times.
    Tips for prospective students

    I entered the ADN Program in the fall of 2006, I graduated in May 2008. Going to college part time in the begining let me joy seeing my daughter take her first steps and a lot of other 1st time events. I was 35 years old when I started, it helped ease me back into the groove of studying and I think it prepared me well for the Nursing Program, because I had everything completed except for the nursing courses.
    Academic Rigor

    I highly recommend taking all the required general education courses out of the way before starting the Nursing Program. I know it is only 9 credit a semester, but it felt like 16 to me. Apply to all the Nursing programs you can, don't put all your eggs in just 1 basket. I wish someone would have explained the amount of student that apply each session.
    Dorm Life

    I did not live in a dorm, so I cannot comment on what dorm life is like. I'm sure if I would have attended in my younger years then I sure I would have enjoy the traditional college life. I will give it a 3 star, because I think it would be great for the student just getting out of high school.
    Food and Dining

    As far as campus food goes, when I first attended there was a subway I think or you could get things out of vending machines. I don't know how it is now, but Owensboro in general has the of my favorite places to eat and I think it's economical too.
    What to do for fun

    If your young and single I'm sure there are many thing to get involved with at the campus. I returned to finish my Associate in Science this Spring. I believe the campus looks a little more livelier than when I first attended.
    Bang for the buck

    Starting your college career at a community college, is a great place to begin and it provides financial savings when comparing it to the Universities. Start at Owensboro Community College and put those extra dollars away to pay at a University of your choice in the future. This way you won't have as much in student loan finances
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    You check it out for yourself; you know what you like and what you want out of college. Am I right?
    Great for these types of students

    Great for all ages of students; it has a very diverse student population
    Clubs and Activities

    Many more clubs and activities now, then it did when I first started. But I wasn't looking for that I a college. I wanted an education and for someone going back at mid life it's a great, comfortable atmosphere.
    Greek Life

    I really can't comment on this issue because it was not part of my college life.
    Campus Safety

    I think the campus is very safe. I took morning and evening classes there and I never had any trouble from anyone. No harassment or bulling I can recall.

    I like being able to have classes online or on campus. The classes aren't to big and tuition is fairly cheap comparatively. The teachers and counselors are very friendly and helpful.
    Tips for prospective students

    Don't take on too many classes at once. Take bare minimum the first semester to get use to homework load and test.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    The lake on campus is perfect to relax and study in between classes on pretty days.
    Great for these types of students

    Great for a wide range of students. Online learners or in class learners.
