noah - 04/25/2023

It’s a place that feels comfortable almost like it’s home. You can be yourself in the small class sizes and great professors. They have very welcoming sports programs even if you’ve never played a sport before! They have a great supportive veteran program being a veteran myself! They have many other clubs and activities to be apart of. Overall it was just what I was looking for!

Hannah - 06/13/2019

Finger Lakes Community College was a wonderful opportunity for myself. I enjoyed my time there tremendously. I always felt at home away from home while I was attending. Though I was only there for 2 years I made connections that I will have forever. The professors really take the time to help you achieve all of your goals no matter how big or small.

Kev - 05/08/2019

Everyone here is fake up front and two faced, even a select few teachers can be A holes. The students barely care about thier major, our projects for homework and such are always crammed within a week, plus we are supposed to br using blackboard for grades and posting work but of course the teachers will not use it. Then the dorms are always smelling so weird. The walls have no insulation so you can hear your roommate bagging the third chick hes met that week. And overall this place sucks worst experience of my life.

Abigail - 12/23/2018

I adore Finger Lakes Community College. It’s a great place to begin post-secondary education! I’m an adult learner, and I found coming back to school easy. It has been easy to receive help when I need it, the online platform is simple to understand, and I am enjoying learning for the first time in a long time.

  3. What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?

    I don't really think there is a bad thing about FLCC. I do get rather frustrated with their Financial Aid Office at main campus, but I avoid them by contacting the Financial Aid Office at one of the off-site campuses.

  4. What do you brag about most when you tell your friends about your school?

    I brag about how cheap it is to afford to pay for a class out of my own pocket compared to other colleges. Personally, I thought 552 dollars was expensive for one 4 hour credit class, but many other college charge much more than that. The lower costs I brag about the most to my peers and family members.

  5. What's unique about your campus?

    Everything! The staff, students, programs, and extracirricular activites are all great and very helpful. I'm a returning adult student and the school has so many options available that it makes it easy for me to fit school into my busy home life. I was worried about going back to school but FLCC has made it so easy and so much fun that I am glad I decided to go.

  6. What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

    I previously attended FLCC and acheived my original Associates' degree. I subsequently attained my BS in Health and PE. Since I originally graduated from FLCC in 1998/99, I have missed the warm, positive environment. I wish I had known of other colleges (4 yr schools) that are as inviting as FLCC.

    Determination, dedication, and strive are good characteristics of the type of people who should attend Finger Lakes Community College. Honestly, no matter what college someone chooses to attend they should have goals and work toward fulfilling those goals. Hard working people learn to appreciate their grades rather than slackers because they put effort into their classes.

  8. Describe how your school looks to someone who's never seen it.

    FLCC is the only college I have attended. I have not been in school since 1975 and things have changed drasticly I am impressed with the newer technology which FLCC has available to students. All of the staff is very helpful with all issues and questions. The campus is very beautiful and modern located in a very nice medium sized city very convienent to Rochester and Geneva and other colleges.

  9. What kind of person should not attend this school?

    I believe the type of person who would not feel "at home" at FLCC is someone who loves a busy, fast-paced, highly populated place like a city. FLCC is not a big school (there are only about 7,000 students) and even though there are things to do around town, it is nothing compared to a large city. I feel that if someone who belonged in a city went to FLCC, they might get bored easily.

  10. What's the most frustrating thing about your school?

    The most frustrating thing about my college is the difficulty of finding a parking spot. Oftentimes if you do not find one in the front parking lot you have to park way out of the way and walk ten minutes to get to class. This is also frustrating because if you do not get there ten minutes ahead of time you may be late to class.
