Review of Schenectady County Community College

from Burnt Hills, NY

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

Human Resources Mgt. may be boring but I've learned extremely useful information that I'll use for the rest of my career. It applies to any job. I've found that all the classes are very useful. You may think you're definitely back of the house but when you take dining room and banquet (both required) you may find that front of the house isn't too bad either. I liked it very much and so have others that used to think they just preferred back of the house.

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

Also, in terms of Culinary Arts, my education here is just as good or better than a college where their cost is 30k+ a year. There are plenty of internship opportunities where SCCC kids are recommended for placement first before other schools.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

If you're going for baking, you'll find that the first year of school is mostly cooking classes. The second year you get into the more advanced baking.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

This school is not just for kids just out of high school. There are adults of all ages attending this school. Some have been going part time there for many years because they have kids and full time jobs, just trying to get their 2 year degree. Others do it for fun because they have the time. Most of these people are very friendly. So are most of the teachers.
