I found ECC to be a good place to get my bearings. After leaving a larger four year college, I needed to figure out my interests and get my confidence back. ECC was perfect for such a need.

The main draw-back, which may be true of junior colleges as a whole, is that there exists groups of pre-formed friends from area high schools, which makes it hard for new folks to fit in.
