Cape Fear Community College — Local services in Wilmington

Glad I'm not the only one complaining about staff. They hit me with unexpected fees from the bookstore, I tried returning the books (brand new, never used due to me dropping classes) they would not take the refund. I had to SELL them back for a lesser price and still ended up having to pay extra to get my butt into registration. I register, things go smoothly, my FA went through, I go to purchase books only to be told that I cannot buy books due to "other people not having financial aid yet" so I had to wait almost until class started to get my books. Even THAT was a struggle. I used to attend another college and we had price match for our books(the way Walmart works, find a cheaper price and they'll sell it to you for that price) well CFCC claims to offer the same program, I called and looked into it... they are false advertising. What happens is they give you these sites with the prices, they say that they cannot give us these lower prices due to the 'funding of scholarships" this is bologna I wrote a letter to the head of the bookstore expressing my frustrations. I asked them why are they giving their business away? You're listing other places with lower prices, won't match the prices and telling the students to shop elsewhere if they want to save a buck. Then for students like myself I ask if FA could bw used elsewhere, nope...not at all. This college is all about money and pretty much everyone has an attitude problem. I called the FA office to see about my FA situation... even she had an attitude. I asked about refunds and I was told that I shouldn't make a big deal out of it because "it wasn't that much anyway". If my old school wasn't so far, I'd return....

I don’t even know where to begin with this place. First of all if you are considering going here you need to run in the opposite direction. I moved here from out of state and gave this institution 10,000 of my dollars just to be disrespected and ridiculed by the faculty and staff. My high school teachers were more competent and respectful than anyone here. The school is run down and smells like mildew other than the main building they use to advertise this place. I did not learn one single thing the entire time I was here and let it be known that I am now graduating to be a medical professional so I was not the problem. I thank God I married my military husband and was able to escape this awful awful school. Do not go here if it’s the last...

Worst experience ever! The administrative staff has never been helpful in any regard and continues to disappoint several years after I have graduated. Ordering transcripts is a joke as the registrar's office is literally shut down to all other matters during registration periods. Ordering online is not even possible at this time as they disable the features allowing you to submit payment. Overall, CFCC is nothing more than a degree-mill and money making enterprise. They could not care less about their students nor their alumni as their business practices reflect. If you're still not persuaded to save your time and...
