Corning Community College Survival Guide
Started by a student of CCC.
- Show up to every class, regardless of the teacher
- Ask your professor if you will actually use the text book before buying it
- It's cheaper to buy a meal at the cafeteria than to eat from the school store but you are not allowed to take your lunch out of the cafeteria.
- Every semester, you're charged a $10 ID fee regardless if you actually go to Student Life to get one
- Cafeteria hours: 7:30 - 10 | 11 - 2 | 4 -8 or so. Don't worry about weekends if you don't live on campus. If you do live on campus and don't know the weekend times, you'd better stop bullshitting around and find out.
- Most rooms don't have "Smart equipment" like projectors that plug into computers
- Speaking of computers, the computer lab in the Commons is great for the introverts. So is Joe Delone's lab. Just ask him first. If you're into Linux, go see Matt Haas in the R building.
- Yes, Dr. Atkins moves around a lot. You get used to it. Eventually you'll find it weird when she's not peppy.
- The Bookstore changes their printers that they sell a lot. Don't buy one there or you'll be screwed out of supported ink. Use your money and go on Newegg or something and buy a laser printer.
- Yes, yes. It's true. Chuck Norris would get his ass kicked by Benny
- Brian Hill is the most chill Health and Physical Education teacher you will ever meet in your life.
- Professor O'Hara is the best law professor since Elle Woods. <3
- You have to go up the stairs on the lecture hall side of the nursing building to get to N-333.
- Speaking of N-333, Elaine has the coziest room in the whole College and she lets you take naps. Oh, and she has tea and coffee gratis.
- The Diversity Center (Commons building) also has free coffee and awesomeness in people of different kinds. WARNING: It attracts very sensitive people.
- CCC has two ponds.... I KNOW RIGHT!?
- Take the yellow marked trail to get to Spencer Crest Nature Center
- Don't explore the area behind the observatory. Unless you're interested in free deer fertilizer.
- Only take Chemung Street/Spencer Hill Road to get to/from the College during bad weather.
- Always check your school email and/or blackboard and/or syllabus before classes. Otherwise you might be greeted with the green sign of "Haha, you wasted time and gas to get here.".
- Joe is the best bus driver ever. Period. End of story. Deal with it.
- Dr. Caruso will have you pondering shit for months.
- Natalie Thompson has the cutest laugh you will ever hear
- Dear Vegans: There's more of us at CCC than you think. Ask around.
- If you need a math professor for remedial classes that will keep your ass in-line, take Lynn or Julie.
- Matt Haas loses his mind when it comes to Bureaucracy.
- Your financial aid drains quicker than Sonic the Hedgehog running away from a child custody meeting. Careful what you buy.
- If you like to write, consider submitting your work to The Crier. If they like it, they'll give you $10 for it.
