Alexa Mazzarini, CCAC

Alexa Mazzarini, a freshman at the Community College of Allegheny County, decided to go online with all her classes this year. 

“I chose to do my classes fully online through Zoom. It makes school much more flexible, which is great,” Mazzarini said.

Mazzarini’s initial plans for college were to attend a four-year school after graduating from Baldwin. But because of COVID-19, Mazzarini decided to spend her first years at CCAC.

“I was expecting to have a real college experience with dorms away from home,” Mazzarini said. “But due to COVID-19, I’ve decided to lay low at home for now.”

As for extracurriculars and on-campus clubs, Mazzarini has chosen to skip them for now because the meetings are only being held on Zoom.

“I didn’t think that I would get the full experience of what the clubs and extracurriculars had to offer,” Mazzarini said. “So I decided to skip over joining any clubs this semester, but I will probably join when they are able to meet in person.”
