I've not been around a lot of community colleges, but this seems to have more facilities than most. What a great thing for the students.
Louise,
There are many facilities at this college for not only the students but for the community as a whole to take part in using as the pool and the classrooms.
Interesting post about the community college and good shots. I like learning about places I'm not familiar with and you did a good job of providing information for that with your my world post.
Hi Kathleen,
I have been "catching up" I love, love the church you have attended for so long! I find all of your posts so informative. One of these days I plan a trip up the Eastern coast to Maine. I love all your memories and pictures.
Alessandra,

Carver, I apprecicate your visits to my blog, I am glad you enjoyed the information and photos about my local Community College.
Connie I am pleased to have you visit and I am happy you enjoy my posts I love creating.
When you make that trip to the Eastern coast to Maine, if you come through Rhode Island, let me know, I would like to personally meet you. You can travel through RI in one hour very small state.
Very interesting post about the Community College of Rhode Island. Thanks for all the good information.
It is a great college at a low tuition, very affordable for those who have not the funds for a 4 year college or need the time to decide what they want to study.
