Antwine Davis Student at This School - Grad Year 2013
CPCC has a wide variety of degrees to choose from. I was shocked to learn some of the courses that are offered at the school. I have enjoyed attending classes here because they are not too crowded, and I feel very personable with faculty. Financial aid covered everything for me for the semester, which allowed me to concentrate completely on my studies. I am 100% satisfied with the courses that I have been taking and even took some that just caught my interest.
