REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingThe professors are knowledgeable and very dedicated to their students' success. They each have their own story to tell, and some of them are far from what you'd expect. My sculpture professor had been a professor at a university in New Zealand, and Malaysia! He had also traveled around the world and had a countless bank of inspiration to bestow on us. Some professors are mediocre, but nonetheless still extremely informative. The online classes are great; they are a good way to squeeze a few extra credits out of my semester since i can do the work in my spare time on top of my normal course load. I was at first skeptical, but it took only a few classes to change my mind. I have done an incredible amount of artistic and academic growth already- in just one semester!

I have never encountered such a loving, caring, and passionate staff. They really want you to succeed. This is a great place to find your passion at an affordable rate.
Lauren from Sparta, NJ
It's the incredibly caring professors and staff that make Sussex County Community College as great as it is. There is free tutoring available to help any students on whichever subject they need focus in. The professors really go out of their way to help any students in need by offering to meet with them at their convenience.

sussex county is an amazing college who cares about you. the professors, counselors and staff will do anything in their power to help you achieve your goals. helping you move on to bigger and better things is what they are all about.
Gabrielle from Hopatcong, NJ
I have taken four semesters with a science-heavy schedule. Because of the smaller classes, the teachers are better able to know each student individually. This helps make the experience for me more comfortable knowing I can reach out to my teachers any time they are free. They make themselves as easy to contact as possible. All of my teachers have office hours as well as email and phone numbers to contact them for any reason, whether it be to ask a question, get extra help, etc. You can tell they enjoy their jobs and have all been friendly and happy to help. I also find the pace at which most teachers go is efficient but not too overbearing. As long as you stay focused and determined, you should do just fine.
