Spokane Community College

In which ways do you feel you are learning and growing?

I feel I am learning very much in a hands-on environment for in person classes. Yes, there are many online options, but I definitely feel that the classes held in person are definitely the best taught that way. Having been homeschooled for all my previous education, I really enjoyed learning in person in a safe environment. The online classes, using Canvas specifically, were also very well formatted and great for learning.

How are you enjoying your time at this college?

I am enjoying my time at Spokane Community College very much. The teachers are all incredibly important and the students all work very hard and desire to learn.

What tips can you share with prospective students?

I would definitely find something to keep track of all the assignments of all the classes. I used a physical planner notebook, because I took very heavy credit loads and needed something to keep all my assignments organized. Otherwise, I would lose track of certain assignments and get way too stressed.

What qualities do you have that have best prepared you for success at this institution?

I already had the ability to work online and from home due to having been homeschooled already. That was a great advantage in being able to study at home. I also had a great work ethic and the capacity for organization, which helped very much.

In what ways do you feel this college challenges students academically?

I think this college challenges students academically in the variety of classes that most degrees need to take, especially the Associate of the Arts degree. It provides for a lot of versatility in the students. The teachers are also emphatic about doing good work and this challenges students but is definitely not unattainable.

How would you describe the food and dining options?

The food is delicious, the bakery especially. The culinary students do an incredible job, and all the food is relatively inexpensive compared to prices elsewhere.

In your experience, what is there to do for fun at this college?

The college has many events such as craft fairs and appreciation events for different groups of people. There are many ways to be involved in fun events.

How does this institution support campus safety or mental health and wellness programs?

This institution provides much campus safety. The campus security staff is very observant and takes the time to ensure student safety. There are routine lockdown and fire drills, as well as a system being in place on all computers and being optional for students to receive on their phones. There are also many organizations that are available to help with mental health and wellness programs.
