REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingThe teachers at Seattle Central are beyond helpful and truly care about your education. All of the teachers that I had at SCCC could be reached easily for questions and were always willing to help. While I did have some teachers who were not as good as others, even the less-than-fabulous teachers were still helpful. I learned a lot from all of my classes at SCCC
