The teachers here really care about how much students learn. One class that I had trouble with was Chemistry. The teacher not only met with me after school, but also video tutored me on a school funded program and set up a group study day for the entire class. The courses are not as challenging as a four year institution, but each student will learn almost as much as if they had gone to a four year college.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
Clark State is a community college that hosts mostly working students. This means that some are parents and older than the “ideal” college student. This also means that Clark State is not really a party school, nor does it include dorms just yet. Fortunately the school and professors take into account the time that most students will be spending at work, so homework is usually manageable. About once a month an activity, such as alcohol awareness or a carnival is held to encourage school spirit. It's really easy to make friends here and the college staff are extremely helpful and friendly.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Several of the professors here work very hard to make sure that credits from Clark State will transfer to most major Ohio universities. So instead of paying for a years worth of credits at a four year semester institution for general classes, a student can pay one third of the cost and earn twice as many credits on this schools quarter pace.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Come in and take a tour, it makes getting around much easier. Also notice that there is more than one building in more than one area. That will save a lot of time and gas. Talk to the bookstore workers and cashier's office because they will gladly explain how to avoid extra fees. Feel free to look online at the many online, night, and self paced courses Clark State has. This school is all about flexibility.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Any that don't mind living somewhere other than a dorm. For the driven student, an associates degree can be earned by the end of the summer, and for the more relaxed student holding a job and going to school will not be difficult. I especially recommend this school for single parents.
