I feel like I had a really good experience enrolling into this college. They have so many classes offered online and on campus. Everyone has been super helpful starting with the student navigators. I wasn’t going to apply because of all the bad reviews; but decided to see for myself. Everyone answers quickly through emails and when i called i had no issues getting in touch with anyone i needed so that was a plus. & believe me i spoke to everyone, Cashier’s office, registrar office, financial aid, my advisors, and the student navigators. Everyone was helpful and friendly.

While CPCC offers strong class content, the overall student experience has been frustrating. One of the biggest challenges is their current 8-week course structure for most classes since COVID. It’s extremely overwhelming to absorb so much material in such a short amount of time, especially when you’re balancing multiple classes plus life. There should be flexible options for every course, not just fast-paced formats. On top of that, support is lacking. Academic advisors often seem uninformed and dismissive, and it’s hard to find anyone who genuinely listens or offers helpful guidance. There’s a noticeable lack of empathy and direction. As a returning adult student, I’ve felt brushed aside more than once. Despite having a qualifying GPA, I’m often excluded from opportunities that seem geared only toward younger students. I’ve made real efforts to get involved and represent as an engaged student, but it’s been draining feeling like I don’t belong. I’m committed to finishing my education, but can’t wait to transfer. I truly hope CPCC improves its student support and offers more inclusive, flexible options that work for everyone, not just one type of student.

Do not go here if you are able to avoid them. Choose any other community college in North Carolina or even UNCC. They are terrible with communication, making one feel extremely unprepared and confused (which is never good as a student). When I was confused, calling or emailing anybody is useless. Nobody answers their emails and when I called I was on hold for at least 30 minutes no matter who I was trying to reach. This college is terrible with communication and do not want to help the students, or even care for the students, one bit.
