As a sum in the little bit I was there, the students and faculty were all overall welcoming and seemed like they had a good head on their shoulders. I am excited to attend there this coming fall and get work done. the sports culture was also quite interesting.

Ketzaly - 12/08/2022

Chemeketa Community College is a great place to start earning college credit during high school or before going on to a four year university. There is a wide variety of courses of all levels offered there. The teachers always have office hours and it is very easy to get in contact with them outside class hours. Moreover, the education offered there is great, there are exceptional teachers and peers you will find. Alumni, tend to keep to themselves and everyone is in their own world or getting things done. The experience you will get at Chemeketa Community College will give you the tools to move up in your professional or student life.

sonira - 12/03/2020

Overall a good school to start out at. I got chemeketa scholars which paid for most of my tuition, the professors are nice for the most part. I just go to school and do what I have to do then leave. It would be better if the campus was updated, some buildings need a little bit of work.

  3. What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?

    The worst thing about Chemeketa is, the classes are not guaranteed. If enough people don't sign up for a class it will get dropped. This has only effected once during my two year stay at Chemeketa but it did mess up my schedule. They have some main classes that always fill up, but the electives sometimes don't. I enrolled in one class and only found out it was dropped a week into the class. I couldn't transfer into the other equivalent class because that class ended up being full.

  10. What's unique about your campus?

    I feel privilaged to attend Chemeketa Community College as I am able to receive awarding and challenging teaching for much less than a 4-year college. The most awarding aspect of attending Chemeketa is the wide variety of people I come in contact with. In my history class I sit next to an 84-year-old woman who brings so much more depth to the class for me. Also, in another class the variety of life backgrounds is so diverse it really makes discussions bloom with different outlooks. The atmosphere as well as the teaching has molded me.

  11. What kind of person should not attend this school?

    Students who want to have the social "college experience" that comes with a state school won't find it as much at a community college. There are student dorms, but many students live off campus. There is also a higher percentage of people (including myself) who are not exactly fresh from high school and have other responsibilities like a job or family. If that sounds lame, then this school might not be for you.

  12. What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

    I wish I had known about the two year scholarship Chemeketa had to offer before I started my senior year in high school. Additional schooling, even at a community college, is hard to pay for. Taking away some of those spending costs would have been a blessing.
