    It has a great preschool for ages three to five year old's. You can enjoy your classes knowing that your children are taken care of, given meals, and time to play outside. Sinclair also offers online classes and multiple campuses so that you don't have to go downtown all the time.
    Tips for prospective students

    Plan extra time for driving to class because the parking lots fill up fast. Put money on your tartan card , you can use it almost like a charge card at the bookstore and different cafe's at Sinclair. There are many different places to get food at the downtown campus. Wear comfy shoes because the buildings are spread out.
    Bang for the buck

    The tuition is nicely priced and there are multiple scholarships available.
    Am enjoying being here

    I really like Sinclair. The teachers are nice, the schedules are flexible, and the tuition is nicely priced. There are many different clubs and organizations to join. I like that they have multiple campuses available. I have taken classes at three of the different campuses.

    Great safety, they have around the clock security and the staff I have meet have been helpful and genuinely friendly people.
    Bang for the buck

    Oh, and the best part: it's CHEEP! My tuition cost me about $85 per credit plus maybe $300 for books.
    Food and Dining

    The food is so-so, but there are restaurants within walking distance. One plus is that the main cafeteria does take credit cards, cash and Sinclair Id's (you can put money on the Sinclair id cards).
    Dorm Life

    There is no on campus living, students come in from home every day.
    Academic Rigor

    The classes are all fairly small. You get a lot of individual help.

    Campus Safety

    sinclair community college is a very safe campus. there are police officers and security available pretty much everywhere you look and you never have to feel afraid to walk to your car day or night because you can immediately phone for someone to escort you. every student also receives email updates and text alerts concerning campus safety.
    Clubs and Activities

    sinclair has over 40 different clubs and activities making campus life vibrant and enjoyable.
    Great for these types of students

    sinclair does not discriminate against age, race, gender, or religion making it the perfect college for any kind of student. if you are a mother of six and want to change career fields or go back to work, scc is for you. if you are a recent high school graduate looking to get out into the world, scc is for you. if you are at a rough time in your life and are simply looking for guidance, scc is for you.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    the quad is smack-dab in the middle of campus and is the perfect location for studying, chatting with friends in between class, or simply taking a break from your studies. there are fountains, foliage, and interesting sculptures that make scc beautiful all year long.
    Food and Dining

    sinclair has multiple eating facilities located throughout the campus and there is even a starbucks located in the library. the food at scc is both delicious and affordable.
    Dorm Life

    sinclair is a community college, which means there are no dorms and you don't have to leave your current living conditions to attend this college. housing is completely off-campus and people come from many different counties and even states to attend scc.
    Academic Rigor

    the professors at scc understand what some of the students go through and are willing to accommodate to every individual's needs. some of the programs are tough, but if you are willing to stick to it, you'll go far and see a very bright future.
    Tips for prospective students

    the course schedules and times are flexible and financial aid is always available no matter who you are or what kind of student you may be. in fact, sinclair awards on average $80 million in financial aid and scholarships each year. in addition, community colleges are a great way to start your educational program and sinclair has over 100 transfer agreements with other colleges in ohio and other states. sinclair is not only limited to in-class courses though. scc offers over 150 online courses to make life easier for those who can't necessarily make it to campus. sinclair also has the lowest tuition rate for a college in the state of ohio, but also provides the education and the right skills to succeed in today's high demand jobs.
    In three sentences

    despite being the largest centrally-located community college in the state of ohio, scc is easy to navigate and a very well-rounded school. the individual attention and assistance is remarkable. i am so proud to call myself a scc tartan.

    Campus Safety

    The campus police make themselves visible and available. They offer to escort students to their vehicles at night. I had a very late class on quarter, and my car was usually the last in the parking lot. Campus security guards would stay out there until I was safely in my car.
    Great for these types of students

    Sinclair is a great financial choice for many people - adults seeking re-education after job loss, people needing certificates to remain competitive in the job market, adults coming back to school after taking a detour, and recent high school graduates hoping to save money on a college education.
    Bang for the buck

    Tuition is $58.60 per credit hour for Montgomery residents. As an Ohio resident living outside of Montgomery County, I paid $90 per credit hour.
    What to do for fun

    Sinclair offers varying intramural sports, and it is also fun to stay after class and catch the Tartan volleyball or basketball home games. Most of my free time there was spent chatting in the library with friends I had made on campus.
    Food and Dining

    While I hardly ever ate at Sinclair, there is a large dining hall that serves a huge variety of meals every day, a smaller cafe across campus, and an abundance of vending machines. There is also a Starbucks located in the middle of the library.
    Academic Rigor

    I didn't find any of the classes particularly challenging. I felt that I learned a lot, though. There were a couple bad teachers who didn't care to be there, but in general I felt like the faculty was there to help me learn and attain my degree - exactly what they should be doing.
    Tips for prospective students

    Get an adviser and meet regularly. Programs have been changing recently due to the quarter to semester switch Sinclair is undergoing this year (2012).
    In three sentences

    My experience at Sinclair was overall a very pleasant one. I had a job in the library and computer labs on campus, and because of this, and my desire to get involved beyond the point of just sitting in a classroom, I was able to meet some wonderful people, build close friendships, and come out with an Associates degree that I feel I really earned. I am now able to transfer to a four year university with two years of college under my belt for a great price.

    For first day of classes make sure to arrive an hour early to get parking. Arriving early is best to find your classes and get to know the campus. The best place to study is in the back of library.

    The food choices are good overall. They try to mix things up by offering different selections of food
    Dorm Life

    Sinclair doesn't have any dorms available.
    Academic Rigor

    This is the best transition for a student going from high school to college and those starting over. You're treated and held to the standards of college students. However, the smaller class sizes (as they are in high school) allows the Professors to know students individually which helps when students need that one on one connection

    You are getting a great education for being so affordable. You can't hardly find room and board for the amount you pay for classes per semester.
    What to do for fun

    I didn't do much outside of classes with Sinclair, but meeting people in my classes and hanging out with them in between classes was fun.

    My classes were challenging, but I walked away learning something from each class. Teachers are available to help for the most part.

    Meet with an advisor to schedule your classes, but try to go to the same one each time. There are a lot of advisors, because there are a lot of students, but it is less confusing to stick with the same one.

    Sinclair does not provide on-campus dormitories.

    There are activities all around campus throughout the year. They are held all around campus and they advertise in the school paper. There are also clubs that students can get involved in.

    Campus Safety

    There are a few incidents quarterly, but campus safety does a good job of alerting us and keeping us feeling safe. It also helps that the garage is always monitored, and if you can get into the garage to park, there is a connecting walkway that allows you to walk into the building without ever walking outside. Great during bad weather. Police is also only streets away.
    Great for these types of students

    Those that want to get an education while being cost-conscious; those that wish to transfer to a university, but aren't ready at this time; anybody whose career path only requires an associate's degree; anybody who is unsure of what they want to do career-wise, but want to begin school and get their general education courses out of the way.
    Bang for the buck

    You can't beat the tuition rate at Sinclair - seriously, my scholarships covered all of my time here and I had extra left over. Especially with no room and board costs and the cost per credit hour, you can't get a better price on an education.
    Food and Dining

    There are various places within the building to grab a bite to eat, but try making it up to building 13 and tasting what the culinary classes are cooking up.
    Academic Rigor

    It really depends on the class and professor. I've taken a couple classes where you really just had to show up to get credit, and others where I almost found myself falling behind because I underestimated the work load. Most professors take their classes seriously and require you to participate. Remember, classes at Sinclair can be compared to freshmen and sophomore classes at a university.
    Tips for prospective students

    Although it is a community college, many professors have the same expectations that university professors do. Take your time at Sinclair seriously, and you will quickly be able to transfer to another institution for a higher degree.
    In three sentences

    I would give Sinclair a rating of 8; although it's not a school that I can complete my bachelor's degree at, I am able to get credit for so many classes that will transfer to universities. The cost of tuition is hard to beat, and the amount of online classes they offer is great for someone who works full time, like I do. The staff, from professors to test administrators and advisors, are always helpful and polite, and it's been a great school to attend while still trying to figure out where I really want to be.

    Sinclair has very good security, as they have campus police officers patrolling the area. These campus police are actually official Dayton police officers in a different uniform. There are also several emergency points scattered throughout the campus, which have a telephone that connects people to the emergency services or Campus security.
    Bang for the buck

    Sinclair's fees are the cheapest I have seen to date, even amongst other community colleges! My Pell grant covered almost all of my first year fees and supplies.
    Food and Dining

    For a community college, Sinclair has pretty good dining options. There is an on-campus Starbucks and also several cafeterias, where you can get an (often needed) caffeine/ sugar boost! Also, being in the heart of downtown Dayton, there are several establishments outside, but near campus.
    Dorm Life

    Being a community college, I don't believe they have dorms for students, as most students study online or live near to the campus.
    Academic Rigor

    Lecturers and Teachers here can sometimes be very strict regarding assignment deadlines, but this is to be expected at college level education. Hand-in times are usually equally spread out, so I never feel too rushed with assignments.
    Tips for prospective students

    If applying for financial aid, be sure to check the status of your application often, as sometimes you may have to provide further information. I had to provide W2s, but found out a little too late which meant I had to wait another half a semester before starting college.

    Challenges that you might encounter at Sinclair would be mainly parking in the morning. Sinclair does have a shuttle that runs to Welcome Stadium when the lots are full, but you have to make sure that you have enough time to make it to classes when that happens. Other challenges would be getting to know the floor plan of the campus. It is very big and can get confusing at times.

    Sinclair is a very affordable option for obtaining a continuing education program. They have a vast variety of options and most important to me, is the opportunity for on-line classes. Very reputable and cost effective way to get ahead in today's ever changing world.

    Great for these types of students

    Any kind of student. School seems very diverse with a wide variety of courses available.
    Bang for the buck

    The tuition is something that one can work with if it means you're paying your own tuition and even if your parents are paying. They have a Payment plan available to help with costs. It's a great place to get 2 years of college checked off if you are looking to save money and move on to a four year college for a Bachelors degree.
    What to do for fun

    Lots of lounging area, computers to use during down time. Tv's are available in some areas. It's right in the city of Dayton where you can find lots of things to do.
    Food and Dining

    Never have eaten there but I hear the food is good. Lots of food areas for you to get food from. Students seem to like it.

    Overall experience so far is poor based on environment and impressions. The regional campus is more convenient than the downtown campus because it is closer to my house. The best part is that the classes are accredited, transferable and are a fraction of the cost at regular 4 year universities.

    Sinclair is the most affordable school in the state and there are tons of resources available to students for free such as free tutors and computer access.
    What to do for fun

    The city of Dayton has numerous fun things to do such as going to the theatre or a comedy club. In nearby neighboring cities, there is a water park in Huber Heights, laser tag down in Centerville, and Kings Island is not far at all! If you of some time between classes, you can take a stroll down to the Oregon District and get a wonderful cup of coffee for Press.

    Clubs and Activities

    There are so many clubs and activities always going on at Sinclair, I don't think anyone could go to all of them during the week There are lectures, workshops, culture outings, speakers on different topics, and clubs galore if you want to join.
    Great for these types of students

    As far as the Mental Health Technician Program, the classes, except for the prerequisite ones, are truly geared for use in the field, and will give you a great thumbs up performance in your field if you listen, and develop your own style through the program.
    What to do for fun

    Get into what's going on for the Week at Sinclair. They always have posts in the library or the bulletin boards telling you of different things that are going on at Sinclair every day of the week. Just look.
    Food and Dining

    The Marketplace and other dining facilities are everywhere! If you can't find one type of food in one place, you'll find it in another. Between the Marketplace, the smaller dining areas in each of the buildings, and the vending machines everywhere on campus, I'm sure you'll find what you need every part of the day.
    Dorm Life

    I commute and this is a community college, so we do not have dorms, but I am sure some of the students live off-campus and close. I wouldn't know about dorm life at Sinclair as it is a two-year college.
    Academic Rigor

    The academic rigor at Sinclair is tough, but with that little extra push, it is not hard to keep up your performance in the areas that you feel you may have trouble with. Pull up topics from the web if the text doesn't make sense to you, and see if you can understand it a little better before going on with your assignments. Your performance can be achieved, so do not worry so much about the rigor, but your own personal set of skills.
    Tips for prospective students

    Keep up with your studies. If you get behind in any of your courses, don't wait! Begin with a tutoring session or two just to bring you back up to where you left off.
    In three sentences

    In my opinion, I transferred from another college to Sinclair in September of 2011, and have found that Sinclair has exceeded my speculations in terms of scholastic and performance skills. The Professors at Sinclair are dedicated and willing to help you out in any level of your academic achievement, and will g go out of their way to make sure you truly understand what you are expected to learn in your field, and also in the prerequisite courses. If I were to start all over again, I would do it the same way, making Sinclair my first choice in terms of academic achievement, academic counseling and academic performance.

    Campus Safety

    There seems to be campus cops that walk around campus. Walking around campus I feel safe due to how many people there are walking around. However, I have gotten plenty of emails about cars being stolen so I feel there should be more campus police walking around in the parking garage.
    What to do for fun

    There are many different clubs that you can join for fun.
    Food and Dining

    There are 3 different places to buy food at Sinclair. The main Cafeteria has a variety of different foods to choose from. The other 2 places are more quick stops. The food is well cooked and there is so much to choose from that there is usually something to meet your cravings. My only complaint is that the food is expensive.
    Dorm Life

    There are no dorms that I know of at Sinclair.
    Academic Rigor

    Overall, academic rigor seems to be good. There are plenty of areas to study at throughout the buildings. Studying in the cafeteria can be difficult because of the noise and traffic flow. Also, the library can be so busy at times it is hard to focus. The best spots to study are sitting in the hallways outside a classroom.
    Tips for prospective students

    To new students attending Sinclair I would advise them to go to talk to an adviser before scheduling for classes. Also, walking around campus and getting familiar with the buildings is a good idea to do before classes start. Also, talk to other students that may have taken classes that you will have to take. Most of the time you get good advise on what teacher to take and what you may need to do to help you pass the class.
    In three sentences

    I would rate Sinclair an 8 out 10. Students and staff members at Sinclair are very friendly and helpful. Also, everything seems to be user-friendly.

    Academic Rigor

    Most of the classes I've taken have been extremely interesting and have taught me a lot, not just about the degree I'm pursuing (English), but also about life. I love the teachers, they're very involved with their students' success. Some of the classes are too big, though. There are too many students for one professor to handle, so that gets distracting. The classes are not usually too fast paced, and not too slow either.
    Tips for prospective students

    Don't think that because you're going to a community college you get to slack off. Sinclair is tough and rigorous; the same things are required of you here that would be at a university.

    Bang for the buck

    Will not really be able to get a better or cheaper deal in the state of Ohio.
    What to do for fun

    The school does not offer much since it is a community college.
    Food and Dining

    There is a pretty good variety of food available to students, and there are small eating areas and vending machines located all over.
    Dorm Life

    I rated this one star since there is no option to live on campus at this school.
    Academic Rigor

    Classes are generally worth the time and money required. you can take classes online or at several different campuses.
    Tips for prospective students

    Talk to multiple different people, it is tough to get accurate and correct information the first time. talking to students instead of only faculty can be beneficial.
    In three sentences

    very cheap and easy way to go to school and get basic credits. financial aid process and faculty can be unreliable and difficult. easy online access to pay, register, and take classes

    Campus Safety

    They have police officers on campus property. There's almost always access to a signal station where you can request help.
    What to do for fun

    There are ping pong tables, a Starbuck's in the library to hang out with friends at, and an extensive library to read and study in. It's located in the heart of Dayton so there are shops and restaurants nearby to go to during breaks and lunches.
    Food and Dining

    They have very few options for vegans and some of the staff can't properly reply when asked the ingredients of the food they're offering. Other wise their fries and vegetable puffs are delicious and they have a wonderful salad bar.
    Dorm Life

    Sinclair doesn't have dorms so I can't honestly rate it. I wouldn't want to live in the middle of downtown Dayton anyways. They are considering adding dorms for Sinclair.
    Academic Rigor

    Some of the teachers want you to learn the materials and do your best. They may or may not offer you extra credit. It all depends on the teacher you chose. I've had a lot of classes that would be considered fun classes but, even those give out a lot of work. The curriculum needs work and can be challenging.
    Tips for prospective students

    Use rate my teacher a lot before you pick a class. It can be a lifesaver. I recommend you sell your books online instead of doing the buyback because you get more value back.
    In three sentences

    The financial aid department is rather unorthodox and highly unhelpful. The teachers very from great to horrible and the work load can be ridiculous based on who you take. All in all it's an average school that's very affordable.

    Campus Safety

    Sinclair has a long standing history of safety on campus. There are help stations that call campus police located in the parking garage and around every building and in between. Campus police are very friendly and helpful in a crisis.
    Greek Life

    none available
    Clubs and Activities

    The provided clubs on campus meet around once a month and are very fun. It's very easy to make lasting friendships and can give a small needed break from classes.
    Great for these types of students

    Speaking from experience, Sinclair is a great place for people just starting out of high school. With a casual school environment, it's very easy to feel safe and fit in. Also, individuals who have been out off school for a while, such as working moms or seniors, can feel at ease with such a wide diversity of students.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    There is a long standing tradition at Sinclair to encourage everyone interested to wear pink every breast cancer month on a certain day. Also like every college, rumors of haunted buildings float around campus and is featured in the campus paper every Halloween.
    Bang for the buck

    Cheapest school in the state. Financial aid is available for anyone in need, and is very easy to obtain. There's also a payment plan for those who do not meet the requirements for financial aid.
    What to do for fun

    A wide variety of clubs are available that meet around campus every month or so. Also there's a pool, fitness room and other physical fitness activities that can be signed up for.
    Food and Dining

    There are small cafe's in most of the buildings around campus so you never have to go far for a snack. The main cafeteria is much bigger and has a wide variety of food from different countries. Or if that's not your thing, subs or burgers can be made specifically to your preference. Fruit, yogurt, or even cake and cookies can be purchased for dessert. Prices are very low for campus food.
    Dorm Life

    There are no dorms at the moment, but there have been talks of providing them.
    Academic Rigor

    Classes are really in depth, and can be geared specifically for transferring to a four year college. Most all of the teachers are available outside of class if you ask. A large majority of teachers are part time so it can be hard to stay with one professor. Also classes are only offered at certain times of the year, so it can be frustrating.
    Tips for prospective students

    When you find a teacher you like, stick with them! Join a club, it's a great way to meet friends. If you need help, there's a tutoring center and many other places that will help with classes. Last of all, just because it's a community college doesn't mean you should look sloppy. Dress to impress!
    In three sentences

    A stellar institution that provides a very casual learning environment. Gives one an opportunity to join school clubs to very specific interests, along with hosting guest speakers from around the world to share in their knowledge. Once a month they hold job fairs to supply present and future students with one on one contact with a employee of companies to help get their foot in the door.

    Sinclair is really a great college and I do not have anything negative to say about it. After attending Sinclair for a year I have really been exposed to a variety of races, cultures and religions in which I was not exposed to after attending the suburban high school I attended. In conclusion, Sinclair has really opened my eyes to a world of diversity that I have never been exposed to before.

    Food and Dining

    Sinclair has over 20 buildings, spanning over 7-10blocks. 10+ are used for classes, within these 10+ buildings I say there is 6 small food courts, and 1 large food court in the basement that is connected to atleast 6 of those buildings. Of course their are vending machines, usually 3-4 in each building. Other than on campus their are exotic/foreign resturants, bistro's, bars, ect.. in a 10 block radius of Sinclair, which also includes our historic Oregon District that is filled with our night life fun time...!
    Dorm Life

    No dorms due to it being a community college, but very affordable housing, the cheapest in the state. Also University of Dayton is less than 5 miles away and their is numerous student housing. Sinclair is currently working with a local contractor in building 5-10 story apartments a block away and being sinclair student is a requirement. They have already bull dozed the area, so time will only tell how this will play out. Cross your fingers!
    Academic Rigor

    I can't express enough how highly Sinclair is recommended to employers around the Miami Valley. I have heard employers on number of occassions say that they prefer Sinclair students over any around, stating that Sinclair students are known to be over prepared!! Yes we work hard. On a personal note: I had a friend taking the same Anatomy& Physiology class at Wright State University a 4 year college (15miles away) as I was here at Sinclair. Many times we would study together. My homework compared to hers was more detailed and more in depth than any of hers. She said, I'm glad I'm not taking this class there! I wasn't because 2 years later I can still identify 80-90% of that class do to how much I learned and this is for 70% of the classes I've taken and trust me I do not retain things easily, I'm the one having to read the chapter 3-4x before I comprehend. I'm Honored to be a soon to be Sinclair graduate! Hope this helps or atleast gives you an idea.
    Tips for prospective students

    Sinclair is a great start for students who have just graduated high school, or if your in a career change, or if you need to work while attending college. Sinclair offers a wide variety of courses that are offered at various times and days, so it can fit anyone's schedule. They offer many course that transfer to 1000's of other colleges aroung the United States. Sinclair is very academically challenging and has professors, falculty, and peers willing to go out of their way to help everyone. Sinclair is also very affordable at $95-$101 per credit hour with flexible payments. I would highly recommend Sinclair Community College for your Associate Degree, Short term certificates, or even to take classes that transfer to save$1000's in tuition. Hope this helps and happy hunting. Mindy C.
