First Generation College Students

Being the first person in your family to go to college can be wonderful, exciting, frightening, and intimidating -- often all at the same time!  But everyone at Pikes Peak Community College is glad to have you here, and we’re committed to helping you be a success, no matter what your goal.  Be sure to ask plenty of questions (there's no such thing as a stupid one) and use every single resource PPCC has available to back you up and make you feel at home here with us.
