What Our Students Say

" There are three point that I like in this college. First, the class size is small. The teachers can pay attention to all the students and we can make friends easily. Second, there are many students who come from many other countries. And, there are only a few Japanease students, so I have many oppotunities to speak English. Last, there are good equipments and excellent teachers. We can study many kinds of teaching materials out of the class. If we have a question, we can ask our teachers anytime we want. I can enjoy studying English here! " Yasuko Minemura - Japan

"I want to tell new students that all of the instructors that I have met here are great.  I enjoy studying here because it’s fun and a good environment for studying.  I’ve made a lot of friends here. I hope everyone can have the same experience as me." Eve Lai - Taiwan

"I studied English in the Program for Intensive English at Clackamas Community College. It was the best choice to come to CCC because all of the instructors are very friendly and helpful. Whenever students have questions, the instructors are always willing to help them out and are lavish with help. Now, I am taking the prerequisite classes for the nursing program at CCC, and through the process, I have met a number of great instructors and friends and have established great relationships with them. CCC is like a family and has everything that I need to study. " Junta Chinen - Japan

"Hi, I am Trinh. I am a student of Clackamas Community College (CCC). For me, CCC is a wonderful school. When I first came to school, I was nervous because I did not know anything, and my English was poor; however, my teachers helped me adjust new environment quickly.

Furthermore, I can ask for advice and participate in clubs at the Community Center. Now, I feel comfortable to study and live here. I am enjoying student life." Trinh Lei - Vietnam

While I was staying here, I also took some regular classes and enjoyed them very much. And teachers and friends are so nice to me that I enjoyed international student life."
