Review of San Jacinto Community College

from Houston, TX

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

I go to San Jacinto College North Campus and I think that the professors there are really good. Most of them are really helpful. The one thing that I like most about the college itself is that the class size is smaller which makes it easier for your professor to get to know you. And personally for me it makes it easier to learn and pay attention in class.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

I love being at San Jac. It really gives me a sense of home. And its also impossible to get lost around campus. This cuts backs from the possiblity of getting to class late. The college also has a lot of great places to relax between classes, such as the courtyard, and the game room, the cafe, and the lounge which are all in the student center.

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

The reason I chose to attend a community college first instead of going straight to a 4 year university was due to the economic stress that my family is undergoing. It just seemed economically smarter to attend San Jac first, plus its also really close to home.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

A lot of people say negative things about San Jac because it is just a community college. People from my school would call it the 13th grade. But the way I see it you still get the same education that you would get at a 4 year university. You shouldn't listen to the negative opinions of others influence your decision to attend this college.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

It really is a great school and you have just as many opportunities to express yourself as you would have at a 4 year college. Because of the size of the school you are able to meet new people more easily, especially if you get involved in the many provided organizations. So if you prefer to be in small learning environment and don't have the money to go to a big-time university, then San Jacinto College is great for you.
