The awesome thing about Co-Greene is the people. The professors and staff are top notch. Everyone cares so much about your success and will do whatever you need to help you succeed. The professors are top notch, extremely knowledgeable in their areas, and they are charismatic, interesting and engaging. I love it here!

I switched over to this school from Suny Ulster Community College, and my only regret is not having done so sooner. I love this school, everyone is so helpful! I plan on graduating in December 2013, and it's such a bittersweet feeling. This school really know how to create a safe and fun learning environment. Enjoy!

Really like this campus. Gets a lot of flake from kids who go to HVCC, although as someone who went to both CGCC AND HVCC, CGCC is a million times better. It's run a lot like a high school (small classes, sense of community, approachable teachers, academic support) and I truly believe thats why students have such success here.

From previous school to coming here-what a change! Faculty and staff are very caring & trying to help. It's homey & lots of events you can do, if you choose.P.S.A. Had left my laptop in cafe the week of finals, overnight on a friday. I called security @ 7pm Sunday, someone answered! but hadn't seen it until monday when they got it back to me!!

Fabulous local school. No complaints. Classes are smaller and Professors are approachable and helpful. Great place to begin college. Highly recommend CGCC. Even after graduating 11 years ago, I still keep in touch and network with both professors and students I met at Co-Greene. Can't go wrong. Be curious, invest yourself, and you'll do great!

great school, small classes nice teachers and faculty in most departments, they actually respond to emails. plenty of scholarships, internships, and job opportunities through this school. They provide compensation for the bridge toll too if you commute from greene county. Only downsides is minimal course selection, and same professors for many clas
