    Bang for the buck

    Most offordable college for the best of the best of education.
    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.

    I am a small lady and I never feel unsafe on campus. The people are very nice and if you are lost people are quick to help you.
    Bang for the buck

    The classes that I took are very informational and it was inexpensive. This school is so inexpensive that my school was able to pay for students to take classes with this school, and my school is not very rich.
    What to do for fun

    Since this school is located downtown, there are many things around to do for fun.
    Food and Dining

    In three sentences

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    What dorms? Lol
    Academic Rigor

    The school is very good with having accurate data. They update the information constantly.
    Tips for prospective students

    I would definitely meet with an advisor my first year. It will help with starting an academic plan for your scholastic career. Try to branch out and meet new people. It's always good to have others in the class you can or email when you've missed a day. And never be afraid to ask for help. It is better to admit you do not know something then to do it wrong and look ignorant.
    In three sentences

    Sinclair is a great school if you want small intimate classes and flexible schedules. They have free tutoring and free access to any learning center you can think of. A great physical fitness center but limited access if you do not have physical education classes.

    Get to the campus 20 minutes early so you don't waste too much time looking for a place to park. Time management is key but that's the case for success at any higher education institution.
    In three sentences

    This is a good community college because you really feel like the professors care about your education. The main downside is the parking. Overall I believe it'll be a great learning experience.

    There are a few culture clubs and the school newspaper, but there could be a lot more. I've seen other colleges websites that have all sorts of cool activities for students, Sinclair doesn't.
    Food and Dining

    There are so many options in the cafeteria in building 7. You can even pay with your tartan card, which is convenient. There's also little nook and cranny food areas in almost all the buildings, very convenient.
    Dorm Life

    This is not applicable because Sinclair is a community college, so there are no dorms.
    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.
    In three sentences

    Sinclair is incredibly diverse and has tremendous opportunities for a community college. The staff is very friendly, knowledgeable, qualified, and punctual. There are a lot of extracurricular activities, but personally I wish there were even more cool, fun options.

    Almost everyone I spoke with complained about having to take a course called Student Success. I had a great professor, learned many things to increase my academic success, made a new friend, and had fun ... all in one little class. Oh, and getting an A was much easier than I thought it would be!
    Food and Dining

    Food is available in multiple areas, and the cafeteria has plenty of choices so you won't end up eating the same thing everyday. I especially like the salad bar and sandwich wraps! Starbucks in the library is another popular attraction.
    Academic Rigor

    It wasn't as difficult as I'd worried it would be, but I did spend quite a bit of time in study/preparation for each of my classes. The professors seem to be willing to work with you if you run into difficulties, or at least point you in the direction of whatever help you might need. So even though the work isn't easy, you will find you CAN do it.
    Tips for prospective students

    1. Get to know your professors 2. Get contact information from at least one student in each of your classes 3.Don't be afraid to ask about anything you don't understand
    In three sentences

    All of my professors really cared about my success, the career center was very helpful in determining my major, and because the writing center gave such insightful criticism on my How-To paper, I was able to get an A. Over all I give Sinclair Community College top marks!

    it's by far the cheapest and most affordable college experience. they also make transferring a breeze, especially to wright state.

    i haven't seen a lot of push on campus to get really involved. it's more of a 'just go, do your work and leave' kind of campus.

    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.

    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.

And to add to the frustration, the hospitality department where I'm majoring in feels like it's in shambles and no one knows whats going on. I really got the run-around.

    Be proactive, teachers are more willing to help you if you show eagerness to learn. Be patient, academic staff and administrative are very helpful, however students must realize they are not the only students that need help.

    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).

    I believe that Sinclair is an untapped resource for the Dayton area. It is retraining workers caught in the economic downturn, while preparing others for four-year institutions. All of this while charging as little as possible.

    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.

    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.

    There is always some form of security nearby. They don't take our safety lightly.
    Greek Life

    There is no Greek life.
    Clubs and Activities

    I think they would benefit from more consistent groups.
    Great for these types of students

    This is a great school for students that are trying to save up money for a four-year-college. Also, students that are didn't fare well in high school can find their footing here too.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    There are some buildings that are out of order, such as building 9 and 13. They are located on a different street from the main cluster of buildings.
    Bang for the buck

    They have the lowest tuition in the state!!
    What to do for fun

    You can usually find some type of event in building 8. The biggest event is the Spring Fling.
    Food and Dining

    There are some stand outs, such as their chicken quesadilla and wraps. However, they stick to the same menu. The biggest perk is the Starbucks located in the library.
    Dorm Life

    Dorms are not provided for students.
    Academic Rigor

    If you're focused, then you will enjoy the classes. However, there are some challenging courses, such as biology, accounting, economics, and sociology.
    Tips for prospective students

    Study for the placement test and do some research on the available professors for a required course. These two tips will go a long way.

    Sinclair has a diverse student body. There is something for somebody. It has a very accessible location.

    Love how affordable it is to attend here and how easy it is to get the needed financial aid to have everything covered. I attend on-line and have found that the classes are easy to understand and the requirements for the classes are easy to fulfill.

    The classes are great and the teachers provide hands on in some classes.
    Tips for prospective students

    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.

    This is a great Community College. The professors are very helpful and the students are too. This is an excellent starting point.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    The tuition is nicely priced and there are multiple scholarships available.
