State Fair Community College

Read Syllabi's, show up at least 5 minutes early, sit in the front, and use the resources available.

I have learned a lot. The basic education classes are top notch. I love the Agriculture department. I spend a lot of time working in the greenhouse. That is definitely my passion.

Being a two year college, I was afraid that the courses wouldn't be challenging enough to prepare me for my future career or when I decided to transfer to a four year university. I have learned that some of their courses are challenging and gave me the proper education I needed. One course I really enjoyed was General Chemistry with Lab. The Instructor, Jack Hayes, made the class and the multiple labs interesting. His teaching methods kept you involved and active. His methods have helped me work harder and accomplish more in my other classes. There are a wide variety of courses to choose from no matter what your major is. The instructor there are willing to give you one on one time if you are struggling with a course, have questions about your career or future, or just want to talk.

State Fair Community College is providing me with many opportunities to challenge myself academically. It also provides the algebra curriculum in graduated steps to better serve each students individual needs; they offer algebra classes from basic math all the way to college algebra. State Fair also has several higher level math classes for those who want to challenge themselves further or for those who need to fulfill a degree requirement. There is much to be said about their biological science classes also. I have found the teachers to be very friendly while also providing sufficient course rigor. I am also involved in a student success program called TRiO. Through TRiO I have been able to receive free, personal tutoring when needed and I also have the opportunity to share my knowledge with other by becoming a tutor or mentor. The only downfall I have found in the schools academics thus far is the chemistry department. Unlike most other universities the chemistry classes have no formal lecture time, which I found made it very difficult to learn new material.

wide range of classes offered
excellent instructors
great education at a lower cost

State Fair Community College in my opinion has lower expectations of students. There are a few excellent instructors which you can learn alot from. Heather Holye, an English instructor, is the best teacher on campus. She made English fun and was very informative, creative, and helpful. Definetly take a class she teaches, it will definetly be worth it. There are other instructors in which you will see that you will have to teach the class to your self with no help from the teacher. State Fair provides a tutors lab and amazingly they actually know what they are doing and I highly recommend you stop by there.

It is a small, close-knit college. It should be easy to find my classes. I will enjoy getting to use the gym and library for free.

State Fair Community College is a wonderful college. I am currently taking online courses and the teachers are caring and engaging. I am very happy to have started my college career at State Fair Community College.

State Fair Community College is a great place to start your continuation of higher education. They provide many opportunities to succeed through academic tutoring or other programs, the curriculum, and great professors that are willing to help. It is a encouraging, friendly environment that makes feel right at home.

I find State Fair to be a very affordable college. I have had a great experience so far. I would definitely recommend this college to anyone that would like to go to a great affordable college.
