The class sizes are small (about 35 students per class) so its more personalized learning and you can access help from your professor easier. most of the classes I've taken are to fulfill my gen-ed requirements so nothing to in depth but there are many programs to choose from if your going into a specific major.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I love the environment of the classes and campus. everyone seems really happy to be there. I personally have enjoyed college more than high school. Like I mentioned earlier, the class sizes are much smaller than what you'd normally find at a university which makes for a great learning environment. There always seems to be activities going on. Once a week they play movies in the student center that are free. Its a great place, not only to continue education, but also to just hang out and meet new people.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
You can receive the same credits at SLCC that you would at a university for less than half the cost. I personally know a few people who are going to SLCC to get the associates degree then plan on transferring to a university simply because its much cheaper to do it that way. Plus you have access to the health and wellness center, free massages, free uta/trax passes and so much more, included with your student fee. for 12-18 credit hours a semester its only 1,395 for residents.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
GO TO CLASS!!!! I know its tempting to skip since most professors don't take role but this will result in bad grades and is a bad habit to get into. Also, take advantage of all the resources SLCC offers its students, from cheap hair cuts, free doctor exams and free massages, to help from academic advisors and tutoring.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
17-99 years old, full time students, part time students, people who want to take classes for fun, people who are serious about school, parents, grandparents, basically anyone. SLCC is whatever you need it to be whether its something to keep you busy or a way to transition to a 4 year school
