    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.
    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.
    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.
    Dorm Life

    the school does not have dorms. people either live on their own, with parents, or with friends and roommates somewhere in town.
    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.
    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.
    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.
    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.
    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.

    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.
    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!
    Bang for the buck

    It's community college so it's cheaper than a four year!
    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.
    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!

    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.
    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!
    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.
    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!
    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.

    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.
    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.
    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.
    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.
    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.
    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?

    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.
