Reviews

Reviews posted by the students are:

  • My time at Cape Fear Community College has been nothing but positive! The atmosphere is great, the campus is clean, and the downtown location makes being at school not feel like school at all! During my almost two years here, most of my professors have been wonderful and extremely helpful. The staff make you feel like they really care about your future.

  • At Cape Fear, the professors have genuinely wanted to help me succeed. Whenever I need help with an assignment, I can email my professors or go see them during office hours. Instead of them seeming like I was interrupting them, they welcomed me in and actively listened to my questions/concerns. I recommend going to CFCC before attending a four-year university. At CFCC, I took an ACA class, which is for transfer students, and I actually really liked it. That class helped me research and look into four-year universities to transfer to after I graduated with my associates degree from Cape Fear.
