Heavenly Craven Community College the nicest thing that ever happen to me. CCC is of the utmost practical pleasant learning environment not to be missed. 1 Million per cent better than university. Parents send their children off with high expectations to big universities where students are swallowed up and they can easily disappear. Some universities have a 90% attrition rate of Freshmen drop out and failure. The dorm experience at university can be a series of nightmare rituals and students find themselves feeling hopeless lost and in horrendous debt. The smart start is to attend Craven Community College. Take all the classes you want to take. Keep coming back until graduation and then attend the university classes for a bachelors degree on the Craven Community College Campus. Stay local. Live good. Study in an aesthetic garden like environment where you can breath easily relax walk between classes. On break with your classmates or by yourself;You All can even chat with the Vice President.The doors are wide open to keep you coming back for more wonderful learning and skill set upgrades. You will love the college. It was the happiest special place to build yourself up. Don't miss out. If you live in New Bern; Apprenticeship programs are in the offering and work study is most opportune for students. The price for an education at Craven is an enriching empowering bargain of a life time. The campus Chief of Police Colonel Jay Logan held bible classes for us at lunch time. If you have a love for golf and leisure sports;A degree is on the table as a degree in aerospace technology. The library is quiet and the computer lab is well managed even in the hours of the evening. Ample parking and micro minutes in travel time. The teachers are always available for consultation between classes. If you require tutoring one on one;The math lab is open with qualified work study students ready to help you. You will feel safe learn a lot make Friends and be blessed with permanent memories of the happiest investment of your life;An education unlocking a multitude of doors for you...
Read moreAs a returning student and older adult (I attended Craven right after high school several years ago) I am disappointed in the quality of instructors and instructional materials at Craven. I most recently attended Pitt CC and am blown away at the difference in quality between Pitt and Craven. Craven's laboratories and instructional materials seem to be from the 1970's and two of my current teachers were hired literally days before school started and are some of the worst instructors I've ever experienced. Another problem I'm running into is the ridiculous bookstore racket at Craven. I paid well over $500 for three classes, and received only one actual book. The others are online "codes" and no paper book, although the books they're using aren't all that great anyway. I sincerely hope that Craven will start investing in some new lab materials and quality instructors rather than pretty building facades and offices for administrative staff. If you have the opportunity I highly recommend going one county over to Pitt CC, especially if you're going into any sort of medical field that requires A&P or Chemistry so you have some instructional materials from...
Read moreCraven County community College is a joke. The financial aide office cannot do student loans, guessing because they are absolutely abismal at retention/graduation rates. The school cannot seem to get the administrative paperwork together for either mailing out transcripts correctly (have proof that they were requested, but never sent) or for reporting to the FAFSA/department of education that you are actually enrolled, so you have to pay on previous loans while attending full time because they cannot get your stuff together. And then when you complete a program with only SIX graduates, they cannot get the paperwork to the state board/testing authority in the promised amount of time. It's not like there are 50 ot 60 records that need to be processed. Nevermind the fact that a syllabus is a "suggestion of grading and required work", with things being added at the whim of a program director, or required time allotments to complete work changed whenever the staff decides. Stay away. Go to Lenoir or Carteret if you need a community College. No community College...
