Within two weeks of getting my first ever car and my drivers license, as well as my first debit card, I was living alone in my first apartment. Santa Fe was an amazing choice, and I don't regret leaving home to pursue an education there. SF has amazing accommodations for each student, and a smaller class size that makes the lectures feel more personal and intimate. There is also an amazing amount of diversity among students, I have met people of nearly every demographic in my time at Santa Fe- from military veterans in their 40's, to freshly graduated high school students. Santa Fe truly wants its students to thrive, and I would recommend it to anyone unsure of where they should start their academic journey to further their education.

hongrong - 05/17/2020

There is a lot of great features within the school in my opinion. It has a small class size, attentive teacher, great counselor, good support system, and club such as Student Government, Student Ambassador, etc to support the students in need. As I'm part of the Student Ambassador, we have contribute and helped with events such as Halloween party, fall fest, black history month, etc in order to fulfill the life of the students more with fun and enjoyment outside of homework and class. With the tutoring center of us, it is a great resource for anyone who needs it. We also have a gym which is completely free for those enroll in full credit which is a great bonus for those who love to keep in shape or enjoy the workout.

Santa Fe Community college is a lot better than I expected it to be. My experience at this college has been pleasant. I am always motivated in my classes to continue my degree. There is also many resources provided for students no matter what you need.

Jade - 11/30/2019

I like the Santa Fe Community College environment, it's very close bound. There are always groups of people chattering about strange but interesting things. The art gallery is beautiful and the people who work for administration and who manage my programs are always willing to work with me. The campus is small but there is space for every little person.

  2. What should every freshman at your school know before they start?

    I've always hated it when people said that high school is the best four years of a person's life. I never really enjoyed high school. So, what would I sayto my past self? I would walk right up to my frumpy, sad-sack self and say, "Hey, Sam. I know you're having a difficult time, you're finding it hard to really get into all this, and you don't know why. You've always really liked school and learning, and now, all of the sudden, it's not as satisfactory. I'll let you in on a little secret. You don't like school now because high school isn't about learning anymore. You may ask yourself 'Well,if school isn't about learning anymore, what is all this stress, drama, anxiety, and effort for?' It's a four year audition for college. So, as much as you dislike school now, just hold on because at the end of it you'll get to go to college which means school is, yet again, about learning. Don't worry, Sam. You're doing fine. Just keep it up and remember that college is much, much better.

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

    I think the wrost thing about my school would have to be how small the class size is. I admit, every now and then, a smaller group of classmates per teacher ratio is kind of nice, but most times I find myself wishing for a small auditorium filled with people as eager to learn as I am. I feel much more comfortable in a room of thirty people rather than 15. It's not that I'm not comfortable taking a leading position, I've just always been apart of bigger groups in my academic experience, so far.

  4. What's the most frustrating thing about your school?

    It really bothers me how bad our Wi-Fi and cell reception are. We're an advanced learning institution and it's 2015. Everyone's phones and laptops should work, regardless of the fact that we're right on the edge of a mountain range next to a desert. We should have connectivity that matches our BEAUTIFUL views.
