Chandler-Gilbert Community College

We’ve had a positive experience at CGCC. The campus takes some getting used to and the signage isn’t that great, but once you know where you are going (thanks to the help of strangers) it’s not too bad. Registration process was a bit awkward as we could only get so far online and then had to finish the process in person (what’s the point of an online option then), but the people working in the registration office are kind and efficient.

A nice campus minus the fat slob security guard who gets a zero in human relations. Maybe offer him some free courses.

If you’re going to take a Spanish class here, you absolutely must take it with Dr. Fabio Correa. I was a Spanish minor in college at Berkeley and came to Professor Correa 5 years after graduating just to brush up on the language. I’m telling you that this man was the best professor I’ve ever had in the 10 years I’ve studied the language. So creative and unique in his teaching strategies, and really cares about his students. Made my experience at CGCC phenomenal.

Pretty small campus, bookstore needs to be updated

I’ve been here for about 2 years and I really like this school. Everything is placed properly and walking from class to class isn’t too bad. Parking is heck of a lot better than MCC. Usually by noo, parking is a pain but it’s not that awful. I really like here and can’t wait to join their nursing program.

I work here. I’ve been here almost 3 years, and I love my job! I work in Student Life and Leadership, and I am blessed to be able to help students every day. Our campus is friendly and small enough for students not to feel lost like can happen at larger universities.
I know some students don’t always have perfect experiences here, it happens, not every instructor is going to be the right fit, but come to Student Life and get involved, have some fun! My job isn’t always perfect, but I do love it here! I choose to see the best about what I do!

I’ve attended 2 other community colleges is this district, and While they all have good and bad points, I am most overall happy with CGCC.
The campus is nicely spread out, not too crowded not too spread out Parking is a bit cramped at times, but that’s not unusual.
I’ve had many wonderful teachers, and only 1 bad teacher.
I love that the library has lots of places to sit and study quitely.
The WiFi is spotty around campus, but that’s a first world problem, not life threatening.
I’m happy here and will continue to take classes until I have no choice but to transfer to the university.

I honestly have no idea what the negative reviewers are talking about. If your account says you have to pay out-​of-​state tuition, then you need to go in and hand them the required documents. Faxing documents takes longer.
As for my review, I love this campus. They have small classroom, friendly staff and faculty, and good food. Food is usually about $ 10, which is the same everywhere else. They also have a tutoring center for math, science, writing, and other subjects. The tutors are a big help. It’s best to go in early in the morning when they open before it gets too busy. The school also has a bunch of clubs and organizations for those interested in joining. Advisors will only help you out with picking classes and graduation. I love this school overall!

I really like cgcc, it’s a good school and I’m happy I choose to attend.

I have had a good experience at CGCC. Many improvements have been made in the past two years and I think it is a good community college to earn prerequisites towards a transfer degree. The classes are generally about 25 to 30 students and I think you can get a really great learning experience from a smaller class size. The campus has a nice layout with a lot of open courtyards and a big library with many open computers. The financial aid and advisory office can sometimes be a little unhelpful but it all depends on who you are working with and if you don’t like your advisor, request a new one. I have a few more classes to take here before I transfer to NAU for psychology and I look forward to my classes. I would definitely recommended CGCC for a good learning experience at a local college.

I was really excited to start classes at CGCC, but the staff completely turned me off to the school. They are beyond unhelpful! They gave me the run around for weeks. Denied me financial aid, even though FAFSA approved me for 2 grants. It’s been a complete nightmare trying to get enrolled and set up for school… I will definitely be going elsewhere. They are NOT friendly, or helpful. I can’t say enough negative things about CGCC. I’m not a fan.

Chandler Gilbert Community College or CGC as it’s referred to by some has grown some the past 10 yrs. I remember a campus that had comprised of one building with a courtyard, and now it has grown to campus with a couple buildings throughout. This community college outfit is the lesser campus compared to Mesa Community on Southern Ave. Nevertheless, it provides the same classes offered, and in my opinion the classes are smaller. I like the fact that parking at CGC is not that tough compared to MCC.
I feel the staff at CGC are quite friendly and a little more helpful. I was at CGC recently for a Microsoft certification test. I was happy to hear that their computer lab was open till 10 pm and someone was able to proctor the exam later than the lab at MCC. So kudos to them. So, if I ever need to take other classes at CGC I totally recommend this campus.

Took a few classes during 2003 and 2004. Compared to some of the professors I had at a community college in IL, I’d say that most of the professors I had the pleasure of working with here were professional and solid educators. Indeed, many of the professors showed true interest in their students and even guided a few of us into acquiring research grants and courses!
The classrooms are large, clean, well-​ventilated, and uncluttered. Computer labs are massive, staffed with friendly and knowledgeable individuals (many of whom are also students) and there are a few private rooms available (the cc in IL had many more private rooms, which I constantly longed for while at CGCC). Science labs were nice and cool, and equipped with Macs (my first time working with these, so another somewhat-​positive experience associated with this campus!).
Among the courses I had the pleasure of attending while enrolled at CGCC was a very fun martial arts class called Kajukenbo (a mix of karate, jujitsu/​judo, kempo, and Chinese boxing), and classes were held at night. I felt very safe roaming around this campus, day and night. It’s well-​lit; stairwells are roomy, clean, and well-​maintained; and security staff is always around. Since I do not like settling into my car after working out for a couple hours, I found it convenient that I was able to use the shower stalls at the locker room. Don’t know if this was allowed, but I was never accosted. The staff at the weight room was very friendly.
The college is easily accessible with the 101 and the 202, and parking is never a problem. Inexpensive good eats are close-​by (check out Venezia’s Pizzeria on Pecos; downtown historic Chandler also has great venues!) and there are groceries nearby. I truly enjoyed my experiences here, and typing this review makes me want to return and take classes again!
