Review of Shelton State Community College

from Coker, AL

Describe your college in three sentences.

I think Shelton is one of the best Community Colleges Alabama has to offer. All of the staff are extremely helpful and friendly, we also have a wonderful tutoring system for major core classes. Shelton should be considered when upcoming students are looking for a community college.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Don't be afriad to ask anyone for help, the sooner you start the better off you'll be.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

Shelton has just about every class needed for someone looking for their basics. They even have classes like math 238 Differential equations, which is not usually offered at smaller community colleges.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

Sadly Shelton doesn't have any dorms on campus but there are a few close by.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

Shelton has the awesome Poppy's Cafe on campus which has all kinds of different choices, but it's the only one on campus, so if you get tired of eating there you would have to go to one of the many close by fast food places.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

There's not much to on campus that's fun but I guess sports would be one thing.

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

The Prices for classes are unbelievably awesome. 15 credit hours is around $2000 where as 4 credit hours at the University of Alabama is $2000.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

Shelton is real close to Bama so there is a lot of intermingling of students which makes great for a social life.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

What ever kind of student you are, Shelton could be the place for you.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

Shelton has lots of clubs that you can apply for; something on your mind Shelton probably has it.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

Security is great here, the parking lot is wrapped around the building so it makes great for the security guards to keep an eye on things.
