Frederick Community College is a great environment for those just starting to get into the world of higher education. It is an excellent option for those who do not want to take out large loans for university just yet but want to get their associate's degree out of high school. The professors have, overall, good ratings, and the neighboring environment, downtown Frederick, is one of the best communities in Frederick County, Maryland. There are affordable apartments located within 15 minutes of the campus, and beautiful Baker Park is nearby. The campus itself is safe, but it's quite large and covers a considerable distance. Therefore, it's a good idea to let someone know where you plan on going or which building you'll be visiting for your safety. The Early College program is a bit restrictive, as Under 16 students may only take 2 classes or 6 credit hours a semester, but provides a helpful segway for advanced private and homeschooled students who want to get a head start on higher education. The culinary, LPN training, and Contining Education and Workforce Development (CEWD) are top-tier for the price range and the administrative department is very responsive in reagrds to in-state internship opportunities. The transition to in-state univeristies is very smooth - almost all credits transfer over - and there are lots of scholarship opportunities provdied by FCC.

I honestly been to too many colleges that I care to mention and the people here at this school truly want you to succeed. They are with you every step of the way. Combined with your desire to learn and their ability to help you will accomplish everything you need to succeed at this school.

Lilianna - 12/14/2022

FCC is a very good community college, with thorough academics and extracurricular opportunities. Not a university lifestyle, but this should be expected. It doesn't necessarily go above and beyond, but it is a good community college with lots of nice staff. Perfect for just out-of-high school students or those looking to return to education. FCC is a very good community college!

Caroline - 05/16/2020

Frederick Community College is an easy local school, and it's much cheaper than other options in the area. I didn't feel overly challenged, and most of my teachers were kind. For those who aren't sure what the next step in their education is, I'd recommend FCC because it's an affordable way to figure out your interests.

  2. What should every freshman at your school know before they start?

    If i could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior i would say alot of things. I would tell myself to not rush through school and to really enjoy my last year of school. I would also tell myself to not rush to have a baby. I have a 2 year old son and i love him with everything i have but going through college with a baby is very difficult. It really makes it haed to find time to study and its really hard to get the money for the classes when you have a baby while you are still in school. I would also tell myself to study very hard and to try get the best grades possible because education is very important and you really do need to have a good education in todays society to be able to succeed.

  4. What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?

    It is hard to think of what to consider as the worst part of my school, because there are so many good things that stand out. Although if I had to choose one thing that was the worst about my college experience at FCC it would be the crowded parking lot. At times there is simply not enough room for all the students, but the key is to show up early to class to get a good parking spot. If not there could be a lot of walking in store for you and you could be late to class.

  5. Describe the students at your school.

    All of the classmates I have at my school are very friendly. They are all very different but they are all easy to talk to. Most everyone I have experienced at my school is very open to conversation and helping if you needed it. For example, while going to FCC I have made a group of friends in every class I have attended. Everyone around you is in the same boat you are and it helps that all your classmates are there to achieve a common goal, which is to get a degree and make good money for your future.
