    Did learn a lot

    The teachers here were qualified and the class sizes were small enough that you could get answers questioned. The teachers often took time out of their schedules to aid any additional questions after class. The quality of information was not exactly challenging or as in depth as I would have liked. Yet on the contrary I was able to use the skills learned from my time here.
    Did enjoy being here

    There were so many activities that one could get involved quite easy. The faculty, and the general ambiance is quite warming. The teachers seem to want you to succeed.
    Bang for the buck

    I had the chance to dabble in a few fields of interest without shelling out loads of money. Finally when I knew what career that I wanted to pursue I was able to use the information from my time at St. Charles Community College, both academic and personal.
    Tips for prospective students

    Take advantage of the extracurricular activities they require as much time as you like to put in them and future colleges/employers definitely admire the motivation.
    Great for these types of students

    This school was great for students who aren't exactly sure in what field that they want t study.

    St. Charles Community College is much similar to high school. The teachers aren't really much guidance or help and they tend to get off topic easily. On the other hand the campus is very beautiful.

    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    Academic Rigor

    Since I am engineering major transfer student from Lincoln University of Missouri, I can better gauge the academic rigor of St. Charles Community College.

The general education courses I have taken have been at an average level of difficulty.

    There are no dorms on campus.

    i think that scc is a very good school to attend for stuents to get their foot in the door when it comes to starting their college career. the environment is very relaxed but challenging at the same time. the students and staff are all extremely nice and understanding, everyone is attending to learn and help further themselves in their lives.
    Tips for prospective students

    i would make sure that you look at each course description very arefully. it is important to know what the class you are taking is the class that you are intrested in. also make sure that you plan out your schedule ahead of time before you meet with an advisor.
    Academic Rigor

    most of the classes are very easy as long as you pay attention and keep up with your homework and the class work. you may need to spend a few hours a week on each class to make sure that you are where you need to be in order to get good grades.
    Dorm Life

    there are no dorms available at scc, but there are plenty of apartments surrounding the area that students could live in.

    scc is a great community college. the campus is clean and easy to get to. while the math classes here can be challenging and it is a commuter school which means no dorm life, i have enjoyed my time here.
    Tips for prospective students

    sign up for the a+ program during high school if you are able. all it takes is 50 hours of tutoring and i think a 2.5 gpa and it will pay for your associates degree!
    Academic Rigor

    some classes you can breeze through if you do the work but a lot of the courses (especially math and science) require a lot of time and effort put forth to recieve an a. even after all the hard work you might still not be able to swing a good grade.
    Dorm Life

    dorm life is non-existent. there are no dorms on campus
    Food and Dining

    there are 2 dining areas on campus and both are pretty great. the cooks will make your food fresh which is nice. the only downside is it's a little pricey.
    What to do for fun

    the activities center has a pool table and foosball table as well as several computers and board games.
    Bang for the buck

    i got my associates degree free (except for textbooks) by using the a+ program.
    Campus Safety

    police officers are on campus at all times and will walk you to your car if you feel unsafe.

    most of the professors at the college are very friendly and willing to work with you if any problems should arise. there is plenty to do in terms of student activities on the campus. the math tends to be a tad more difficult than many other colleges.
    Tips for prospective students

    take a tour of the campus and meet with a student ambassador. they can give you an idea of whether or not this campus will be right for you as there are many colleges in the surrounding areas.
    Academic Rigor

    the classes, aside from math, and not very difficult at all.
    Dorm Life

    no dorms.

    they have a small cafe on the campus and a few vending machines as well. however, none of the food is particularly great.

    Am learning a lot

    It is a great learning environment, the Professors are very knowledgeable and helpful. The Professors want you to succeed and will help you in every way possible. I've never been good at math, this past year in my math class i received a high A. The reason I feel I received that grade was because of the way my Professor taught, how she was always dong things in a way we would understand and remember. It is because of the Professors here that i have learned so much.
    Am enjoying being here

    I love it here. It is a great place to start or continue your education. There are a wide variety of extracurricular activities for everybody. Whatever you like doing other people here like it to. You'll be comfortable and always have people to hang out with and to study. The student center and library are great resources for any college student.
    Bang for the buck

    Community College is the way to go. It is the smartest option out there for people wanting to get general education out of the way without going into debt. Let's be honest after you graduate with your Bachelor's people really don't look at where you got your associates. So why go into debt for something that doesn't really matter, it just doesn't make sense.
    Tips for prospective students

    Really just the obvious things. Go to class, it's hard to get good grades if you aren't showing up to class or you aren't doing any homework. If you put forth effort and try you'll get good grades. Work Hard.
    Great for these types of students

    Any and all especially if you are wanting to save money.

    Am learning a lot

    The teachers are great! They really take the time to make sure that you understand the information and you pass with the grade that you deserve.
    Am enjoying being here

    Being a community college and not a college 'college', things can get a bit dull on campus. But the student activities office does try hard at making things fun with various events and activities, most that include free food or a chance for prizes.
    Tips for prospective students

    Do a professor search before you sign up for a class. There are some really great teachers here, but if you just mindlessly choose, you won't be as happy.
    Great for these types of students

    This college is great for anyone who's not 100% certain that a four year college is for them, who want to stay at home a little longer, or who just want more time to think over what they want to do in college major-wise. The staff really makes it easy to transfer to another college in the state.

    Am learning a lot

    I'm in the music degree program here at SCC, the teachers are top notch, the equipment is exactly what everyone needs. I wish SCC was a four year college because I enjoy it that much. If you need help with your class schedule see a counselor they have been more helpful than you can imagine, they want to help you. The entire staff at SCC are here for the students and it shows.
    Am enjoying being here

    You will find it is easy to make friends and feel welcomed and right at home.
    Bang for the buck

    There are several scholarships offered so try for them.
