As a full-time high school student and part-time college student at CGCC, I enjoy learning and partaking in what this school has to offer. The professors are nice and the advisors are very accommodating and helpful. The campus is beautiful and feels very safe.
london
Overall a great school. With more intimate classes, you were able to receive a better education as well as more hands-on learning. Class and school is a lot cheaper, but the education is just as good as any university.
Kiezzle
So far there the best Community College I've seen that it's good at most, not too bad to enroll and learned the life as a college student.
Ben
Ludicrous institution. Subpar professors, lack of mentorship to young adults. Many are there only for a paycheck and dont mind gossiping to other employees, don't care whether you pass or fail but would much rather have you fail as that is less work for them and an easy pay-day. Not a social environment.
Collin
It's not bad, but it can be a bit of a struggle at times. Most of the teachers, at least the ones I've had, are pretty good and overall care about how to best help you in class. In person, the campus is actually quite a bit lively, and have several different facilities throughout the college. They even have a setup for students who struggle to feed themselves regularly. I've never had to use it myself, but it is there for any student who would need it. Overall, I think CGCC is a pretty good first college for someone. It's a nice place to start and prepare for later college life.
Mercedes
My experience of the college is from the Pecos campus. I like this location and college the best out of the Maricopa County Community Colleges because of the campus design. Even though it is off of a major highway its not an overwhelming structure. There are many different fields of studies with multiple classes available to fit a students busy schedule if they also work. Their staff in the library and student center are very helpful.
Ashlyn
I think it is a good school, very diverse of age and race. Classes fluctuate in size and quality, it all depends on the professor. The one thing I didn't like for some reason was the job fairs and the constant booths for the military. I was also bothered by the people who would ask for our signatures on petitions and forms that I knew nothing about. They would pester me constantly and I would do my hardest to avoid them and just go to class.
Holly
Chandler-Gilbert is a great community college. There's a variety of classes to take at both campuses and the professors are great. Most of the professors are approachable and genuinely care for their students. Even the cafes and coffee shops are great and have a good diverse selection.
Maria
They’ve made my experience here a lot more comfortable. Being a high school student and going to college can be quite difficult. They made me feel secure on the path I was taking and they ensured to lead me down a path that would eventually take me to my final destination for my major.
Gilbert
It is a nice college with all the instructions willing to help. There is a lot of after things to do after school and different events that goes on. There is many tutoring opportunities and people on campus willing to talk about scholarships that the school may offer.
Kaile
Great educational institute, clean and modern facilities and awesome professors! I have attended both campuses throughout the years and have been impressed with every experience. I have personally recommended this college to multiple friends, colleagues and family members and will continue to do so in the future.
Hannah
This will be my first year so I don’t feel educated enough to give a valid opinion. The campus visits and freshman orientation I attended was spectacular though. Very knowledgeable counselors on hand and they were very friendly. I feel I would have an excellent year there.
Jason
I love the school and the teachers. The professors are well educated and engaging and I am very happy with how the teachers always made themselves available. It has been a great few years but I am ready to move on to a University. I will always recommend this college to anyone and everyone.
Nicole
CGCC is a very good school to go to. You show up and you learn what you need and leave. Teachers are always there so you can always ask questions and everyone is so helpful including the other students. It is a beautiful campus with coffee shops spread around and nice facilities. They definitely encourage you to get involved with a group or do any extra curricular activities
Kate
It's not the best college, but it's cheaper to go there first before going to a 4-year college. The teachers are very friendly and there are a lot of class discussions. The students are pretty cool and there are a lot of clubs on campus. CGCC is a pretty good school in my opinion.

What should every freshman at your school know before they start?
If i could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, i would telll myself that college for the first two years is high school all over again. I would have tried harder to stay on top of my grades and tried to pay more attention during math class. Math has always been a weak spot for me and in high school i just did what i could to get through it. Now that i have practically finished all of my schooling and i look back on it, i realize that that things would have gone a lot smoother. I would have also told myself that i needed to apply for more scholarships because i have been paying for school all by myself. Though i am not even close to paying it off, i have student loans i will be hacking away at when i finish school in the spring of 2015. I would motivate myself to have done so much more my senior year. It's your last year of high school and your last year of free education. Then i graduate and go to community college to pay for it all over again?
What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?
Same as above, Money. I was granted a grant for up too 5 thousand $ and my school thinks 2 thousand would be a good amount to pay for school and books. Im a 36 yrs old, full time student and parent living at my parents. Thats ok, I will go to school and finish school and lead a better life for my children and I.
If you are a poor college student, like myself, I would recomment you join a community college. It is cheaper than going directly to a university. At Chandler-Gilbert Community College, the teachers are able to give you one on one time and there is tutoring if you need it. This school also works well with my full time schedule at work.
What do you brag about most when you tell your friends about your school?
I like how small the classes are. It feels almost like high school. You have more free time to work on homework, at a job, or hang out with friends. There are two campuses, both are very nice. The faculty is nice and helpful. The buildings and facilities are nice and up to date.

Here's your chance: Say anything about your college!
This school focuses on the traditional type of schooling where they have primarily classes taken on campus. They do offer limited online classes for those looking for a more convenient way to take classes.
I consider the best thing about my school to be the enviornment. Everyone there, from the students to the staff, all care about everything that happens on the campus. They are all proud of Chandler Gilbert and want it to stay the way it is.
What's the most frustrating thing about your school?
Most frustrating thing is the money. Full time students like me have a very hard time living off the very little amount of money they think you need for school when you receve your grant money. One thousand $ is not easy to live on after you buy your books for school. Being a full time student and parent like me its truly hard working a job as well. I need to start somewere in life to make a better life for my family and I.
