Guttman Community College
Theoretically, this is a very good school. At the time of my attendance, it was number one in New York state for community colleges based on multiple measures of success. The professors are well-versed in their subjects and for the most part, they are very professional. There are innumerable resources accessible to students as well.
However, the atmosphere feels very much like high school, perhaps even more so than my actual high school did. The professors, while professional, do treat their pupils as if they are children oftentimes and several policies reinforce this. Additionally, the lack of cooperation and choice in schedule creation, the odd semester and cohort arrangement (meaning that you are in school for twelve months out of the year and in classes with the same people for this time), the relative obscurity of the school and it's reputation as a whole, and the high tuition rate do not make this a good school for the value, in my opinion.
