Hey everyone…I can tell you from my experience, CC is like no other. Before I starrted college shopping, I was already hooked on CC because of the block plan…I liked the thought of being in the middle of a great class discussion and no bell would go off to end it after an hour…we really get to dig into things here. Well, my Dad insisted on us visiting about 10-12 of the top LAC’s and everyone that I went to just didn’t meet my expectations. I am from the midwest and narrowed my choices to CC and a VERY DISTANT second was Whitman…nothing against small schools in small towns but after a weekend in Walla Walla I felt like we (my family) had lived there all our lives continually running into the same kids and townspeople wherever we went. For that reason it was too small for me. One thing is for sure, the facilities at CC are not up to the same standards as say a Middlebury, Hamilton, Bowdoin etc…but as I said to my Dad…we have the whole state of Colorado as our campus and nothing could be truer esepecially with the block breaks…everyone should come and visit…I love it and hate the fact I only have a year and a half left…the experience here is awesome…so much so I wouldn’t gpo abroad for a semester because I don’t want to miss a thing here…plenty of time down the road to continue exploring…Come and see what we are all about if you haven’t already!
