My major: Humanities & Social Science with a minor in Biology
My favorite class: Anatomy and Physiology. Thanks to Dr. Amy Ryan who helped me to build a strong background for my future classes such as Medical Terminology and Human Anatomy at my new school Stony Brook University.
"There are several reasons I chose Clinton. First, Clinton Community College is part of the SUNY system so I could easily complete my associate degree and transfer to a 4-year college in the SUNY system. Second, CCC was a great starting place with quality education for a foreign student like me while I was getting used to the US education system and culture. The courses at CCC gave me a strong background while not being overwhelmed. Third, the tuition was affordable."
