Why Live in Perry Hall?

Ashley McLean Alpine, NY

"Currently I live at home, go to school full-time, and work a 30-hour per week job just to pay for gas for the commute to school four times a week. I think being on campus gives me more time to focus on my studies rather than spending two hours in a car each day commuting to and from class. I think overall it will help me become a better student and that's what I should be focusing on at this point in time.
I'm most looking forward to the ability to use my resources at the College more. We have a beautiful 250 acres and seven miles of trails in our Spencer Crest Nature Center. I'm a Recreation major so the outdoors is something I absolutely enjoy. The fact that I can walk out the backdoor and head out onto a nice trail so close to campus and just appreciate the outdoors is exciting."
"I'm looking forward to meeting new people and making new friendships.
I love that CCC has a very relaxed environment. I've heard horror stories from both friends and classmates of the stress of other colleges. CCC takes a very relaxed approach to teaching the same material, at a much more affordable price."

President's List, Fall 2012
Corning-Painted Post West High School graduate, June 2010
2012 All-Mid State Athletic Conference Team
2012 All-Region III
Aja Gosper was the starting centerfielder for the 2012 Red Barons Softball Team. Her outstanding efforts resulted in designation as an All-Mid State Athletic Conference player and All-Region III selection. She hit .414 in the lead-off spot, belted 6 doubles and 2 HR's, while collecting 20 RBI's and drawing 18 walks.
In addition, Aja served as a starter for the 2011 Red Barons soccer team splitting time between stopper and keeper during her freshman campaign.
