Categories Comments Great for these types of students Students looking for small classroom sizes and the ability to approach a professors easily without too many people waiting in line.
Tips for prospective students Apply early and really get to know the transfer councilors. Make an appointment with them immediately and plan out your future courses at SCC so you have a plan on what to do in your future. Also, buy your text books early so you do not have to wait in line for 2 to 3 hours at the book store!
Bang for the buck SCC is a community college, so the tuition is not as high as universities. It provides students with a good education without having to pay as much.
Am enjoying being here I enjoy being here because SCC offers many programs to help students in their academic studies. For example, the tutoring center program is a great addition to the college because many students receive extra help from student tutors. The working environment is comfortable and the tutors are full of information on their specific subjects. This really helps when you do not understand what the professor or book is saying!
Am learning a lot I have learned a lot at SCC. I have been lucky enough to receive teachers who do well at teaching and have the ability to lecture on a course without me becoming completely bored. The course work allows me to become more independent and learn how to manage my time wisely.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students For people who want to have fun while getting an education! There are so many different people here! I have people in my class that are in their 60's and 70's, but a majority are under 40. Teachers are extremely understanding to those with children as well!
Tips for prospective students Get your financial aid in early!!! There are a lot of students who apply so it takes the financial aid office a while to process them all. And make sure you talk with a counselor from the program that you're interested in because pre-reqs for courses and transfers can sometimes differ.
Bang for the buck It's community college so it's cheaper than a four year!
Am enjoying being here The campus is awesome! The cafe makes superb food, and there's plenty of places to chill, study, or have fun. This campus has everything from programs to resources!
Am learning a lot A majority of the professors are great and really enjoy what they do, but there's always those that seem like they love making your life hell.

Categories Comments Campus Safety for the most part, our school is very safe. there may have been one or two incidences that i have heard reported of this year, but overall, there really isn't much to fear here. we're in a good part of town, security is pretty tight, and everyone is usually quite friendly and welcoming.
Clubs and Activities there are many, many clubs to enroll in throughout the school. they are always recruiting new people throughout the quarters. once a new quarter starts up, you'll find that club recruitment is in full swing at every angle.
Bang for the buck the classes i am taking have definitely been worth the $1200 i am paying in tuition. the school's tuition is definitely a lot cheaper than a standard university or college. i would rather pay $4800 per year in tuition as opposed to $30,000 like other major colleges charge.
What to do for fun hang out with friends in the cafeteria, walk around the campus, see what the student government is offering for activites on certain days. we do have face painting days, karakoe days in the coffee shop, and many more activities to keep us entertained.
Food and Dining the food could be better. while there is a broad selection of food to choose from in the cafeteria, it is generally very expensive. it is very difficult to get a whole meal for less than $5, unless you want to eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and milk everyday. there are hamburgers, chicken strips, fries, sub salads, rice, pizza, and a variety of other things, but as i said, it is rather expensive. we do have a restaurant in building 1 that is reputed to have good food, but it is by reservation only. i have not eaten there.
Dorm Life the school does not have dorms. people either live on their own, with parents, or with friends and roommates somewhere in town.
Academic Rigor this school definitely has some high-caliber classes that may prove difficult for some students. but if you apply yourself, you should be just fine.
Tips for prospective students always turn in your homework on time. study everything, even when you think you already know the content. keep up with your current coursework so you don't get behind or feel confused. if you feel like you are struggling with a class, seek help immediately. if you cannot find satisfactory help with a class, drop it as soon as possible. you may be able to get a small portion of your tuition back if you trop the class quickly.
In three sentences spokane community college is a great school with a diversity of classes to offer across the spectrum. the food is good, though a lttle on the expensive side of things. the professors are generally nice and the classes are easy as long as you apply yourself and put forth a good effort.

Categories Comments Campus Safety the campus is equipped with emergency campus security phones at all of the parking lots and has security stationed in the main building on campus.
Great for these types of students the science building has been recently built and its facilities are very nice. for anyone wanting to take science classes of any kind this is the place to get inexpensive courses that teach all of the basics.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus i call it little stonehenge, it is a small amphitheater in the middle of the campus where speeches, plays, and rallies are located in the summer months.
Bang for the buck many of the classes are taught by teachers that could or would be employed by universities of higher calibers, but these teachers choose spokane community college because it is a wonderful place to work. the facilities have recently been upgraded for many of the courses and some of my professors are doctorate level (ph.d) certified in their field.
What to do for fun there is a game room in the lair student building that is a source of fun. other than that i'm uncertain.
Food and Dining orlando's and the spokane community college bakery are run by culinary arts students and is one of the perks of the school. they also have a wide selection of food at the main cafeteria.
Dorm Life spokane community college doesn't have dorms that i know of.
Academic Rigor depending upon the teacher and class the academic rigor varies. some classes are simple and others are very intensive, especially the writing intensive classes and diversities.
Tips for prospective students make sure that if you attend spokane community college you maintain a good communication line to your instructors and ask as many questions as you can.
In three sentences from my experience at spokane community college it is a well rounded community college with some of the best teachers i have had the pleasure of learning from. some teachers there are under-par but the vast majority are fun and easy to talk to. i would rate spokane community college as an a- school to attend based on previous learning experiences.

Categories Comments What to do for fun At Spokane Community College, there are lot's of fun things that you can try. You can sit in comfortable chairs in the cafe area, eating while listening to small music bands play their music. You can play tennis or go swimming in the College's swimming pool. Or if the weather is nice, you can sit outside in and admire what beauty the school has attempted to make with it's trees and flowers. There are also clubs and activities that you can sign up for if it strikes your fancy. There are plenty of things to do, the question is, does the school have what you want?
Food and Dining The Food and Dining section of Spokane Community College is not bad actually. They have a snack bar where you can buy food on the go if you have a busy schedule. They sell sandwiches and desserts and all sorts of delicious food. Oh, they also have a small restaurant called Orlando's where you actually get food that comes straight out of the oven. The food is all fresh and pretty delicious. They also sell fresh bread and desserts where you can just wait and watch them make the food.
Dorm Life First, Spokane Community doesn't have any dormitories. It's a community college, not a university. The location where the school is at kinda makes it difficult to have a place where students can stay. So that is why I gave it a 1 star, because there are dormitories, plus the school is not big enough for that.
Academic Rigor At Spokane Community College, the teachers want you to actually succeed and to achieve your dreams. They are thorough in their teachings and they try to push you so that you will become ambitious and determined in your quest for the ultimate dream job. On the other hand, they treat you like an adult and they don't stand over you every 5 seconds to see if you are doing your work. They make it clear that it is your responsibility to be organized and do your work, so that you will be ready for your career. The teachers here at the school are always willingly to help you if you have any questions.
Tips for prospective students First, future students, get your FAFSA application done as soon as possible. It will mean less trouble in the future. It is very important that to know that the dates and times for applying for FAFSA, Work study, and other stuff like that. Also, I would suggest that you should take the FYI program before starting school, it was very helpful and you get to know the details of the school.
In three sentences Spokane Community College is a cool place to start your education. It's cheaper than other schools and there is always something going on. You will feel comfortable walking around the campus.

Categories Comments Campus Safety We have our own police station right on campus, with giant blue and red buttons and a com system. We also have a criminal justice system. Many of my fellow students are in the criminal justice system. I feel very safe. It is very friendly here.

What to do for fun We have a great gym and a large park right in the middle of the college.
Food and Dining We have our own grill and cafeteria.

Categories Comments Campus Safety The campus has had personal safety problems, but no more than is common to the area. Be wise about being in a public place and you will be fine. Workout in designated areas, lock your vehicles, and stay where there are other students. The campus has a security training program so all in all it is a safe campus.
Bang for the buck This is the college that will give you the best bang for your buck.
What to do for fun Be sure to enjoy your experience. In addition to being a beautifully organized campus there are many special niches to discover. Go to the lair or library to relax or study. Take time to walk through the buildings and see all the academia. The college is a diverse place with diverse people so for fun, participate in something you have never done somewhere you have never seen.
Food and Dining There are snacks available in the bookstore, a dining hall, and several unique options. The dining facility has several restaurant facilities and often you will find live entertainment as clubs or artist perform in the hall. My personal favorite is the recent addition of the coffee bar complete with fireplace and cozy seating. Also, when it comes to dining you will not want to miss is the culinary departments gourmet restaurant and bakery located in building one.
Dorm Life There are no dorms offered at Spokane Community College.
Academic Rigor Success is completely reliant on the individual student. While it is a Community College the professors are very qualified and expect university quality work. You will be able to work around personal obligations and conflicts to maintain a good grade, but it is college. To complete your studies or transfer to your next step you must have academic rigor.
Tips for prospective students If you decide to attend here be prepared to keep focused. You will need to take time to work with counselors to design a good schedule and be prepared to show up early for parking (or take the bus as it is much easier). You will be able to enjoy all the opportunities presented on campus with out stress if you follow these simple steps.
In three sentences Spokane Community College is a wonderful place to get things started. The Faculty and Staff have always answered my questions. I have participated in their clubs, online classes, and received an Associates of Applied Science from here with ease.

Categories Comments Campus Safety They always have a security guard wandering around as well as well lighted parking lots with a build in security button to push if you need help.
Greek Life I do not know much about the Greek Life.
Clubs and Activities They offer a wide variety of clubs as well as activities. It seems they have a new activity going almost everyday. My favorite club is the parent club the school gives the club money so parents can meet up with their children and do fun activities.
Great for these types of students This school is great for students that want to go to technical school. Most students that complete their technical program our guaranteed a job.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus The school offers a big foot card for rapid easy refunds. You can the card just like a debit card without having to have good credit. In fact it will help build your credit. Your financial aid is uploaded directly onto the card days before most people get their checks. They also have ATM's around the school to get cash out if needed.
Bang for the buck If you want to go into a specific technical field this is the place to go. You can get your technical degree in two-years at a low cost and have an almost guaranteed job when you are completed.
What to do for fun The school offers a variety of activities put on by the student body they also offer a wide variety of clubs. The school has a swimming pool and exercise room. They also have a game room for your entertainment.
Food and Dining The school offers a variety of different cafe's and dinning halls. You will not go hungry or thirsty here.
Dorm Life No dorms it is a community college.
Academic Rigor They are great in this department. Very fair and willing to help if needed.
Tips for prospective students Meet with an admissions counselor before trying to do it all on your own they are their to help you and do a good job at it. Research all the college has to offer you will be surprised by all the available resources they have for students from a food bank to multiple scholarships.
In three sentences Spokane Community College is a great school because it offers a wide variety of technical programs that most colleges do not offer. Spokane Community College has great professors that are always willing to go the extra mile. Spokane Community College is a great way to start your college career.

Categories Comments Campus Safety There is a large security presence. There was a rape in the parking lot last fall, but the incident was not random. I believe that the woman knew her attacker.
Greek Life None.
Clubs and Activities Communications club. Drama club.
Great for these types of students Culinary arts. Mechanics.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus None.
Bang for the buck Great school for such low tuition costs.
What to do for fun There are many different clubs and groups that meet on campus.
Food and Dining The cafeteria food quality is fair. The bakery associated with the Culinary Arts program that is in Building 1 is excellent.
Dorm Life There are no dorms on or near the campus.
Academic Rigor Most of the teachers I have had a very serious about academic success.
Tips for prospective students The online learning and teacher/student resource program ANGEL is very temperamental. It is often down and will shut down during quizzes or tests. Takes your tests and online quizzes before the deadline, just in case you run out of time, that way the teacher can help you or fix the problem before the deadline.
In three sentences I have had very good experiences at Spokane Community College. All of my classes have been beneficial. However, working with the Registration office and staff was difficult at times.

Categories Comments Campus Safety This really is a very safe campus. very little crime happens on campus and the crimes that do occur or crimes of opportunity, such as stealing an unattended bike or laptop.
Greek Life There is no Greek life at this college.
Clubs and Activities There are very little intramural sports or clubs making it very difficult to get involved actively with the college.
Great for these types of students Great for students who are looking for a more career oriented and focused education. They offer a lot of two year programs that will get you a technical degree in a much faster and more affordable way.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus The entire campus is situated around a large mall or circular courtyard. many students use this large open space for studying and many professors will hold class out there on a nice day.
Bang for the buck The college is pretty cheap. It really is the way to go financially. Going here for two years and then transferring to a four year school would save and extreme amount of money.
What to do for fun It is a pretty small commuter campus so there really are not a lot of activities to do.
Food and Dining I honestly have never eaten at the cafes in or around campus.
Dorm Life There are no dorms.
Academic Rigor It is a community college, so the the classes are obviously not as rigorous as a four year institution. However it is a good transition school.
Tips for prospective students Watch out for the data processing form that you have to fill out for financial aid in addition to the FAFSA. Otherwise, you may not get financial aid in time for when tuition is due. This happened to me, and they failed to mention the data processing form until it was too late.
In three sentences The class I am currently taking is very laid back yet still challenging, which is good. Dealing with financial is an extremely frustrating and difficult process. However, admissions went very smoothly.

Food and Dining I did stop for a bite to eat and it was pretty good. But be sure to look out for Sasquatch at the Bigfoot cafe!!!
Dorm Life Not really sure on this one.
Academic Rigor The instructors here mean BUSINESS! Which means you have a good chance at a promising career later. If you're willing to do your part that is...
Tips for prospective students Talk to Susan Morgado if you have ANY questions at all. She is the best and I don't know what I would have done without her.
In three sentences Very friendly atmosphere. Fun, welcoming, and very helpful staff. Totally cool mascot!

Categories Comments What to do for fun This school has many activities to be involved it as well as clubs to join.
Food and Dining The cafe there has decent food, but it is way overpriced.
Dorm Life SCC is close enough to my house I do not live in dorms.
Tips for prospective students Study, study, study! Many of the teachers give out study guides, so do them! They are a huge help when it comes to testing. Also, go to class. Going is way easier than trying to make up work.
In three sentences This college is a great way to save money and get a decent education. Although it has several areas where it could improve, I gave it a gold star. The teachers, for the most part, love their jobs and are much help to us students.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Are campus here is pretty safe. Occasionally we have the annoying pan handlers across the street or single people doing stupid things. Overall, in my opinion, they do a decent job of keeping our campus clean and safe.
Clubs and Activities My favorite club and activity here at SCC is the Woodsman Club. It's my favorite because I started it and have been working on it non-stop for over the last year. I'm finally starting to see it pay off and look forward to looking to compete and continue on. There are a lot of clubs and many of them are very active and have a strong following.
Great for these types of students If your the type of student that likes to work hard, have a high self motivated drive and push yourself over the edge than Spokane Community College is the school for you.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus I am not sure of any. Only been here one year, but at the Society of American Forestry national convention I learned a few forester chants!
Bang for the buck I deserve the I Don't Want to Pay for College scholarship because I work hard for myself, family, friends, school and community. My time has been highly invested in the Woodsman Club team at my school which I restarted and have started running fresh. It has also been involved with various planting events, ski patrol, thinning and ranch hand work and helping other students with classwork. I enjoy my life and look forward to getting onto work and having an impact on the environment and society! This scholarship would help with that by adding more fund to my aresenal and making it all happen! Thanks for your time!
What to do for fun Spokane is amazing if you are the outdoorsy type of person. I love the outdoors and there is always something to be doing around here. Hiking, camping, skiing, snowmobiling, water sports, disc golf and the list can go on, but if your into that kind of stuff Spokane and surrounding areas is the place for you!
Food and Dining Food and dining on campus sucks but if you go over to the Gonzaga University District or downtown you can find whatever you want in a matter of a few minutes.
Dorm Life I don't live in a dorm and Spokane Community College doesn't really have each of one either.
Academic Rigor It really depends on the teacher and how much you want to get out of it. If you want to learn a lot of things and keep moving forward you have to find the information around here. If your lazy and just going to school, this place may or may not work for you.
Tips for prospective students Check out the program and investigate what you want to do. If your fresh out of high school, take a break and learn about you. If you've already takin that break, put your head in the books and never give up.
In three sentences Spokane Community College is an interesting place with interesting people and crazy instructors. People learn here with hands on experience and the teachers have time for you, sometimes. Overall, not a bad school and we're fortunate to have the students and instructors we have.

Categories Comments Bang for the buck For the amount of money that you would pay at a high-priced University, you get a much better price for the same education. I know many students who go to Gonzaga right down the road and I feel as though my money is better spent at my college.
What to do for fun The campus offers many clubs, and student activities all year long.
Food and Dining There is a cafe and lunch area, and the food is great.
Dorm Life There are no dorms at Spokane Community College.
Academic Rigor The classes are just as rigorous as university classes. Some of the professors also work at Gonzaga University and they lend you the same academic knowledge. No class load is impossible, you just have to work hard an study in every class.
Tips for prospective students Study for thirty more minutes than you think you should. Always keep on top of when assignments are due and listen diligently in class. Your teachers are there to help so never feel silly for asking about a subject that you don't understand.
In three sentences It is a school that helps students of all ages achieve a degree. The teachers interact with students in a manor that shows how much they care. I am soon going to attain an AA degree from Spokane Community College, and I am glad I will earn it from such an amazing institution.

Categories Comments Campus Safety It is not a well lit campus and finding a parking space can be challenging.
What to do for fun You will have absolutely no time for fun. Each quarter has a semester worth of information crammed into it.
Food and Dining There is a cooking program at this school with a restaurant on campus.
Academic Rigor Harder than it needs to be.
Tips for prospective students If you are thinking about going through a program at this school, check your program requirements. You may have to leave the state to do a 3 to 6 month internship. It would be less stressful to have $5,000 in the bank for moving/living expenses before you begin. There is no system in place for affordable housing while away. You are on your own.
In three sentences The sonography programs are not specialty-oriented. There is a great deal of unnecessary book learning unrelated to your field and not enough practical application.

Food and Dining The food is pretty good and the people no serve it are always so happy and nice.
Dorm Life There is so dorm life in a community college.
Academic Rigor There's a wide range of classes so your able to find easier and harder ones. The programs I've been introduced to are rigorous enough to easily find a job after graduation. My program in particular is one of the best around.
Tips for prospective students To a graduating high school student my tip would be to not over look your community college. The experience prepares you for the real world based on the people you meet and hearing their past life struggles, helps you learn from them. Also the classes are smaller so your able to get more attention from the professors as needed. Lastly, community colleges help you save your hard earned money.
In three sentences I've found Spokane Community College to be a great school in my years here. I love the community college setting because of the diverse people who attend. I've learned so much about ethnicity and even more from the elders who have been through so much, their stories me strive on.
