I ordered a $50 mystery grab bag and received an ugly short-sleeved shirt worth about $5. Called the bookstore to talk to the person who sent the ugly shirt and spoke to a very rude dude named John, who mansplained to me how grab bags work. LOL What a dick! Reading all the other reviews here, it truly makes me wonder what happened to the awesome college I attended many moons ago. Makes me sad.

Unfortunately, the school had a less than adequate and unprofessional admissions process and…read morecommunication that left a terrible taste in my mouth. This aligned with what I'd heard about the school. So I'm grateful to have had the bad experience upfront so, that I chose a different school, and invested elsewhere at a much more together and reputable institution.

This is an awesome place! My little brother signed up for a GED program and they have teachers that…read morebasically help tutor you to get your GED. They also will have them walk across the stage to get their GED and they also receive a $500 scholarship towards school here! So for a free program, that's seriously amazing of them to do that. All experiences with this school have been great thus far. One of the coolest things ever is the grocery bingo they do also for free, for students and relatives of students. What a cool concept to get college kids together for fun and free groceries! I have attended that twice and it was really a lifesaver, but we had so much fun!

No help from the school. This is the culture that is Western. We had to remove her. Horrible place for girls. So horrifically sad. Very upset that THIS is the culture that is WESTERN.

Wasted State. Yes, it's a real college, even though I first heard about in in the back of Powder…read moreMagazine. Drawbacks: when you're under 21, there's not a lot to do under than ski at Crested Butte and smoke. I didn't inhale. Another drawback, it's often the coldest place in the country, set in a high desert valley and at over 5,000 ft in elevation, your ears will get frostbitten and then thaw when you get to class. I can't really complain, though, despite the fact I transferred to CU after a year. Where else can you be a full-time student and ski some of the best double-blacks in Colorado four days a week.

This is the Canon City extension of Pueblo Community College's main campus in Pueblo, but it can…read morecompletely stand on its own, in many respects. First, they have their own bookstore, which is nice, since you don't have to go all the way to Pueblo. I will mention, however, that you really shouldn't expect to be able to buy your books on the Pueblo campus if you happen to be in town, because their book assignments aren't always the same as the Fremont campus. I discovered this when I happened to be in Pueblo, decided to take care of my book charges, and buy my books there. Discovered the first day of class that I'd inadvertently bought the wrong psychology book, had to drive all the way back to Pueblo to return it, and then drive back to Canon to purchase the right book, because apparently, the taxes are different across county lines, and they couldn't return the book at the Fremont campus. Not a terrible thing, but I just felt ridiculous for not having realized they'd have a different book list. Moving on, though. They also have their own counseling center here, which is much faster than the main campus. All the financial aid paperwork can also be processed here; they just fax it to the main campus for you. Classes here rarely get over about 25 people. Some of the larger classes are usually the rudimentary levels, like 090 courses, because people getting in need those to qualify into their per-requisites for their programs, so if you don't need those and can skip directly to the 100 and 200 level courses, you'll find the average class size is usually about 20, which is awesome. Makes for some nice discussions, and means that the teacher actually ends up learning your name over the year, and can recognize you in the hallway when you pass. They also offer a few degree programs here, the main one being nursing. It's a great option, considering that the main campus is 45 minutes from Canon, and it would be a tad bit arduous to drive that twice a day. So the fact that they offer that program out there and not just alternative classes that transfer to the main campus is great. Small school, but great setting, with a nice familial feeling. I would totally recommend it for people studying in the area.
