Review of Johnson County Community College

from Spring Hill, KS

Describe your college in three sentences.

The professors at JCCC are outstanding, especially in the Mathematics and Science departments. Each professor I've come into contact with has taken an interest in my personal journey as well as other students in the classroom, and has gone above and beyond to help each succeed. I am a huge advocate for JCCC, and make sure to let prospective students know what great experiences I have had since attending.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

If you are unsure where life is taking you or what you want to do for the rest of your life, JCCC offers so much diversity and options. Not to mention it is less expensive than a 4-year university! Even if you have a grasp on what your future holds, the professors of the general education courses are fantastic, some of the best I have witnessed, and I guarantee you will be getting a grade A education!

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

The professors at JCCC expect nothing short of greatness! In essence, most feel as though they are preparing you for a 4-year education, and they want you to be as prepared as possible. The classroom sizes are small, so it allows for a lot of social interaction between student and professor. Their online and hybrid courses are delicately designed, and if you utilize it, you will learn just as much online as in the classroom.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

The dining hall has a great, youthful environment. There is a wide variety of food, and everything is delicious! Not to mention the coffee shop right next door, which is awesome!

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

You absolutely get the most bang for your buck by atttending JCCC. Like I stated earlier, the professors are amazing, and if you are motivated to do well, you get a GREAT education for so much less than a 4-year university. Even if you are wanting to transfer to another school, you get two years at JCCC for nearly half the price of a state university. There are scholarships available for various fields of interest, and they are easy to find & apply for!

Which types of students will excel at your college?

JCCC is a great school for students just graduating high school, because it gives you a change to get acclimated to the college scene without becoming too overwhelming. I believe it's an excellent school for someone who isn't quite sure what they want to do with their life. JCCC is also a great school for parents who are wanting to change careers. They offer a wide variety of night and summer classes, online and hybrid courses, and even self-paced courses. I believe there is really something for everyone at JCCC!
