Kenneth Rishel Student at This School - Grad Year 2016
Instructors are great! Infrastructure is no good. Computer problems all during Fall 2013. Lab Closed the last 5 weeks of the Fall 2013 year due to inability of Computer Services to fix the problem. No security for Student Folders, open to anybody encourages copying and cheating on homework.
Christian Figueroa Student at This School - Grad Year 2013
Overall, GCCC is diversed and there are different classes available that work with your schedule. My best experience was when I was the in the college magazine writing stories and being in HALO and in Phi Tetta Kappa.
