Finger Lakes Community College — Attraction in Town of Hopewell

Finger Lakes Community College is a phenomenal place to go to college, and/or stop by to visit. The people who work there, from the staff at the One Stop Center and Professors to the Custodians and Maintenance Staff, are all friendly and welcoming. Some students and staff may seem standoffish at first glance, but once you get to know them they are very kind people. The custodian and maintenance staff constantly attend to necessary tasks around the college, from bathroom restocking to problems with technology, they work their hardest to make sure that the college is in pristine condition.

If you come across an issue with safety, want to talk to someone you know you can trust, or even need to check the lost-and-found, the campus police are always there to help. Granted, the staff changes during the day, so talking with the same officer, each time, when you stop by may not be possible. However, all officers at the Campus Police office are very knowledgeable, level minded, and open to helping those who seek their assistance.

If you're thinking of enrolling into one of their college programs or majors, do it. You can always talk to a staff member at the One Stop Center if you wish to change your career or field of education in the following semester. Keep in mind, always consult a financial advisor in the One Stop Center before you drop a class, especially if you're acquiring financial aid from the government, such as FAFSA (US Government financial aid program) or TAP (New York State financial aid program). They will tell you if dropping the said class(es) may harm your financial aid accomodations.

For those who have disabilities, diagnosed or undiagnosed, visit the Third Floor of the library in the college. You have to go through the Second Floor entrance due to inaccessibility through the First and Third Floors, however, it is very much worth visiting. Once you exit the Library elevator, or the staircase, head to your right. Once you reach the door frame, turn right, head straight 20 or so steps, and turn right again. You will find the Disability Services office there. The people who work in the department are beyond welcoming, no matter what reason you're there. Melissa Soules is one of the most trustworthy people in that office. She will help you with whatever you may need resource wise. Whether it's testing accommodations or something else, she will be able to point you in the right direction of the resources you need.

I'm going to leave this as is now, so visit the FLCC website for any further information or guidance regarding the college. I wish you luck on your journey, no matter...

Current Music Recording Student Disclaimer The review score is not reflecting the course content, read on.

So far, the content of the program has been GREAT. All my teachers, from the Audio I instructor Jonathon Belec, to the Audio lab instructor Bob Potter to my drum teacher Jillian Pritchard have been very intelligent, easy to follow, courteous, and enthusiastic to teach. My only frustrations with the program lie in their requirements, but more importantly, their scheduling. It is required to take Music Theory all 4 semesters to graduate, and although I see the benefit in this, 4 semesters (for a recording major) seem like overkill. And if you're the average modern day musician (aka me and most of my musician friends) you don't know a thing about reading music. So you'll be put in a Basic Musicianship class, which must be passed before you can move on to your first Music Theory. This puts you behind a semester, as they currently have no summer or winter classes where you can catch up. Here is my main frustration: commuters like me already have to face the fact that the only campus that has music classes is in Canandaigua and they provide no online option for the music classes necessary to Recording students. And the classes that are available have scheduling conflicts. For example, the spring Theory class which has a M/W/F option or a T/Th option for both the class and lab, but the class and lab have the same start times, so there is no way around driving to school every day. This all seems strange to me, as the Recording program in particular appears to be popular at FLCC, so you'd think they'd maybe offer an off-season class, or at least start offering a few classes at their other locations or online. Quite simply, this program assumes that all the classmates are residents, where in reality, I (along with a good percentage of my college friends) are commuters, and their scheduling issues are...

After not being here for nearly 2 decades, went to 2 concerts this summer. I won't go back.

Pros: Decent monitors to help see what's happening. Ok sight lines from inside the shell

Cons: Horrible sound. Of the dozen venues over been to in the last five years, this was the worst by a wide margin. I think the newly added luxury boxes cause higher frequencies to rebound back toward the stage. Vocals, sung or spoken, ate unintelligible Parking. There's no place in the immediate area other than the site to park, and walking to the venue is not possible, so the parking charge is just greed. To to it off, there's no traffic control after the show, and only one exit, so it's a Mad Max/Lord of the Flies wasteland trying to leave. Tough not as bad as Darien Lake Pedestrian flow. There are only one or two staircases out, they become choke points. Food/beverage pricing. High, like everyplace else, I suppose. Water is $4. The only "deal" is wine, $15 for 3 glasses equivalent.

Back beige the renovation, when I knew it as FLPAC, this was a decent venue, but now... It would take a major, reclusive artist to get me back, but even then I would travel 2-3 hours...
