I went to DCC for four years becauseBrightBusiness - Management and Administration
I went to DCC for four years because I changed my major after having a child. I graduated last May (2010) with a degree in Business Administration. I enjoyed my time at DCC because not only were the teachers friendly but they also genuinely made me feel like a paycheck was not their only reason for being there. I learned alot during my time here and was able to maintain a promotion to a supervisor position and care for my young son. The classes were flexible and my last semester I took both day and night classes and attened both the main and south (Wappingers Falls) campuses. The price was affordable and covered completely by my federal aid (I even got money back). There are many night clubs, bars etc. nearby but you do have to talk to people to find out where if you are not a local, which is hard to do because the highschool cliques transfer right into this college. The school is accredited and recognized by most as "Harvard on the Hudson" for the exceptional education they provide. I am no longer interested in working in the Business field (switched to medical) but it is a good degree to have to fall back on. Overall Dutchess is a great college for people who have a busy life already but want to get ahead.

Question
This school is the worst school ever.Quite BrightBusiness - Management and Administration
This school is the worst school ever. i have never had so many problems with EVERY department trying to register and pay. they will drop you from classes, put you on academic probation, etc. for no reason. I am not the only one it has happened to. they register you to take 13 credits your first semester so you will be in there school longer than ever. it is a waste of time, sure its "cheap" but you get what you pay for. save your 1500 a semester and a buy a book, you'll learn more from that anyway.
