While the college does not offer on-campus housing, it emphasizes a comprehensive educational experience through its facilities and resources. CCC's academic profile is complemented by support services designed to assist students in achieving their educational and career goals. The college does not have a significant focus on athletics and therefore does not emphasize sports programs in its campus culture.
