Muhammad - 05/29/2024

A great place to get your prerequistes and extra classes out of the way before transferring to a 4 year school, assingmnets and classwork is easy with guides in the websites as well as study guides from most of the professors. For my major, we use Mylab Math, Code.Org, and JAVA so far. I would recomend going here to boost your GPA if you didn't do well in highschool.

Ashley - 01/23/2023

I think this a great and affordable option for schooling. The professors are amazing, caring, and very detail orientated. Delaware County Community College also provides you with all the resources and classes to accomplish those associate's and bachelor's degrees. The campus is also beautiful and updated. I use to have this negative perception of community colleges but Delaware Community College has totally changed my perspective.

Lizeth - 02/19/2022

It is a great affordable option for students who want to eventually transfer to another school. Class size is usually small so teachers are pretty accessible. DCCC also offers a variety of classes for students from automotive to culinary arts, etc.

Carolyn - 02/25/2021

I really like Delaware County Community College. The professors are nice and helpful. There are many advisors who are always willing to help. I also see it as a great opportunity to begin a college degree in a more financially stable way. It is great to take general education classes and take classes in an affordable manner.

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

    There isn't anything that surprised me when I came to this school. I pretty much expected everything that I discovered. However, I was caught off guard by how polite the staff was, and by how willing to help you they are with anything and everything. I had previously attended Del-tech and, truthfully, some of the staff there weren't as caring and helpful. I also had a problem with them when I had my thyroid cancer.

    What makes my school unique is the diversity it offers. It has a rich cultural background and is opening to people of all backgrounds, races, age, gender, and orientation. No one will ever feel as though they are alone or don't fit in because they are different. The most important part about this diversity is that it is celebrated, no one feels judged for being different. We don't box people into stero types, instead we embrace what makes us different.
