Grand rapids community college Reviews

Most of the staff are student but they do a great job.

I wasted over 5 grand on a class that was exploiting students. Dwayne Keith was teaching a construction class at the M-Tech center. He was also a landlord. He used the students to upgrade his rental properties. Half the class were doing windows while the others were doing doors. I never learned how to do windows since I happened to be on the door crew. I complained to the dean to no avail and I still owe for a class I learned next to nothing in. Don't go there. My advice.

Excellent teachers and a good place to start your career

I come here to get my teeth cleaned and have xrays. I understand the appointments are longer than going to a private practice, but I enjoy coming here. The students get a great learning experience and I enjoy supporting them. The instructors are always pleasant and informative.

Absolute nightmare!!! Curriculum was BS!!! We did class work, a classroom work book, text book work, and online homework(which literally took an entire week to do if you are normal with a job and a life)!!! When it came time for a test the instructor couldn t tell you which to study from as there was so much material and it was scattered everywhere! Only a handful of people even made passing grades!! Waste of my time and my money! Not to mention a paper back book with papers you tear out for class (that we hardly ever used) was $240.00 non-refundable after the instructor said wish we didn t buy it because we won t be using it!!! But it was listed as a course requirement! And my online class was NOT online which I wasn t told until I went to the main office to find out why I couldn t access my class on the portal then I had to change my plans and attend a semester of class that they offered down town that was labeled online. This school does offer some good things but it s a money pit. Not to mention pay to park everyday or use your raider card to park in offered parking that charges you hundreds for a Semester!!! And the RN program has a 5 year waiting list so you just have to take courses that apply to it and hope you may one day get in the program

As a young High School grad with no idea what I wanted to do with my life, GRCC was the perfect place to start. I was able to explore a range of options here and when I settled on Spanish and Chemistry as my specialties, I found fulfillment.

My Spanish professors here were thorough and had a great time doing their jobs. I spent time learning Spanish through stories and conversation, and when I had questions their office hours were always there to help.

I always had access to tutors in the library when I needed them. When I had issues with my chemistry homework (which was often) I was able tot turn to my classmates and lab partners for help, if not to my professors in their office hours.

I will recommend that every single graduating senior attend GRCC.

Excellent value, university feel at community cost.

Not the best college. Had a very difficult time being able to get and appointment with a counselor for 2 years. Every time I called I was always put on hold for 30+ minutes. I had to figure out how to do things myself because the counselor I had never had time and always gave the most generic answers. Had a better experience googling my questions and concerns than talking to an actual professional
