My first few classes went by quickly, I had no interest or desire to spend any extra time examining the campus. Now that my classes are getting more serious and I am spending more time at GCC, I must admit it was a very nice surprise. Library has great resources, HT1 and 2 always have available tutors (courses and levels have set schedule), student center is great place to kill some time, there is a lot of outdoor area to sit and chill. Every class and instructor I had so far was just as demanding as it should be (again, depending on the level of study). Since I haen't really attend any other community collee in the valley I can't compare, but I would definitely recommed GCC
