I really feel that Rogue Community College has given me a good foundation for education. The classes they offer have been a tremendous help, not to mention it is amazing how some of the classes are aligned with requirements for Southern Oregon University. It is literally a two in one deal if you attend! Also, the classes are not too big, but not too small and the teachers are easy to get along with.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I love the college because its a nice step before I attend a university. The structure of the campus is wonderful because it causes a lot of interaction amongst peers, and teachers alike. The only drawback about the college is in terms of atmosphere. Some of the buildings are older, and also in Medford there are parking problems which have caused conflict between students and the city council.
All in all though, its a wonderful college setting. Not to mention that there are many stores and other helpful places around the main area of the campus.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Trust me when I say this, Rogue Community College is affordable for anyone who takes the time to look into their financial aid programs. Sure, the tuition right now has gone up a bit but compared to the prices of many high universities, Rogue Community College is a safe haven for students who come from low income families, and who already struggle in the economy while trying to make ends meet.
The only drawback to me is Rogue Central, or the financial aid office. Some of the people in there don't seem to want to take the time to help out students, so I encourage prospective students to do their homework in regards to the services Rogue Central has to offer.
If I never got to go to this college, I wouldn't probably be able to attend for years due to my families financial problems.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
-Know the area well, it is easy to get lost.
-Take the time to get to know Rogue Central and the Counseling Department. Make sure they are giving you the correct information.
-Take the time to talk to teachers. A lot of them are helpful more so than the counselors at times!
-Go in with the mindset that even though it is a community college, it will push you mentally to do your best!
Which types of students will excel at your college?
-Low income individuals
-People who have complex schedules i.e. Family matters, work, and the like.
-Students who love stable environments/small class groups.
-People who enjoy flexibility
-Students who still may not know what major they want. Rogue Community College is a great place to start before you decide what career you want for the rest of your life!
