When you walk in, two very friendly volunteer front desk people greet you with a genuine smile. There's a lobby area with seats and to the left is a chalk board to write out your dream (hence the name). As you walk up the stairs, you'll pass classrooms and then a giant gym. If you go to the top of the building, there's a beautiful rooftop deck overlooking the city (you can see the Washington Monument and the US Capitol Building). DC Dream Center is the heart of our neighborhood!

Comparing PGCC to the 4-year university I'm at now makes all of the problems I previously had with…read morethem insignificant. Yes, their nursing program was over-saturated (too many applicants, not enough advisors), but it ran like a well-oiled machine regardless. In my current school, my advisor registered me late and almost signed me up for a course I'd already taken, which I had to find out for myself halfway through the semester. They didn't depend on me to supervise every step of every transition like switching majors the way other universities do. Soooo much information is available in your student portal that I almost never had to step foot in the admin hall (though as a new student, navigating their sites was like entering a labyrinth). I was shocked to learn having a waiting list was not a universal thing and they actually notify you once a spot opens, as opposed to my current school who makes you log in and check several times a day... every day... and then still gives unspecific error messages. They use Canvas which has SIGNIFICANTLY less issues than Blackboard. Yes, I have had some troublesome professors but every issue was handled beautifully by the administration, and even so it only came to this point twice. Some of the best teachers I've ever had the blessing to encounter are tucked away in here. I miss my professors, my peers, the atmosphere, I miss everything! I'm honestly considering dropping my Bachelor's just to go back to PGCC and finish my ADN. When it comes to college, bigger is not always better. PG is not perfect but they were deemed best school in MD to get your RN for a reason.

That was her second time I called her letting her know my kid was running late too! I even apologized for my tardiness she didn't care ! This lady is wicked !

The…read moreparking lot was very congested and traffic was awful since there was no visible signs to direct the flow of traffic since both the entrance and the exit are together ... you can either use the rear side or the front side. I'm not sure if the staff is accustomed to handling large crowds because things seemed a bit unorganized. An older lady working at the desk seemed to move in a very slow pace and the line was very backed up. The area where the performance took place was pretty spacious and clean. I believe this community center is a great venue to host an event (birthday party, wedding reception, etc.,) I don't think it's accustom to handling large events but may evolve.

I have been visiting this facility for about 3 years as part of the Goombay volleyball league and I…read morewill say the customer service has taken a huge decline since we first started participating. Initially, the female manager was very welcoming and flexible with our group. We never had issues with scheduling the facility or with customer service. Since she was transferred, we have run into a lot of headaches. The staff since then and especially now are extremely rude. They don't greet people as they walk and when they do engage with us they are usually rude and unfriendly. We have had mulriple scheduling conflicts after signing a contract and confirming our league and have been forced to make last minute postponements in our schedule. The faciliry itself is not the best for two side by aide volleyball courts either. The courts run right up to the wall on one side and the bleachers on the other which make it difficult to have enough space to serve. The basketball hoops also do not rise all the way up on both courts and often times interfere with game play. I hope the league finds another more suitable facility with much better customer service for future play.
