I was ashamed for a while, telling people that I attended a community college, but you know what? I'm getting a quality education for a fraction of the cost. Here, the professors want you to do well and want to actually TEACH. And they aren't busy with things like research and large class sizes.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
If all I did at SCC were attend class and study, I'd seriously hate it. Fortunately there are clubs on campus! As well as athletics. If being a bookworm is your thing, sure do that, but if you're like me and kind of need more motivation to keep attending classes, join a club, get involved, have FUN.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Call us leeches, an abomination to society, drop-outs, etc - but some of us really do want to be in College and can't pay for the outrageous university prices. Thanks to the state, I am getting a good education at a tuition price I can afford. So chill out, nay-sayers. If you want productive adults contributing to your tax dollars later in life, you'll let me get my education.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
You are your own accountability. No one forces you to go to class or to do your homework. If you need help, you yourself need to go talk to your professor or seek help at one of the tutoring centers (and there are plenty of people there willing to help you). Also, don't forget to talk to a counselor regularly, as this will help you complete your educational goals. Oh, and don't forget to register early. Otherwise you'll be wait listed for just about everything.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Self-motivated students, part-time or full-time working students, those that don't know what they want to major in, those continuing their education, and those looking to transfer to a 4-year university.
