SMCC is I good place to go when you want to save money. The people there is very nice and they help you in anyway they can. The professors there are the same professors that teach universities, so I know that I am getting the same education as if I was in a university.

It is a great school, I went there to get my credits and transfer. that being said I took part in the Math/Science/Engineering portion of the school so I am not too sure about the art classes. but from what I experienced the professors were kind, informative, and most importantly there to help when needed and even when not.

South Mountain has been an unexpectedly great school and I have enjoyed the time I have been there. The teachers have been so engaged to their students and patiently take their time to give the attention their students need. Students have a lot of resources for every subject at school and are offered so much help. I feel like people don't really think community colleges aren't as good as Universities but I disagree, the attention these teachers give you you would not be able to get at a university .

Paige - 12/29/2018

I haven't attended a college quite like this. In fact, although it is different, I love it entirely. The classes are small, and each professor acts as if we are on the same level. Things become personal, and it makes feeling like college isn't just a classroom really worth every hour spent.

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

    As a high school senior I was excited to be entering into my college years. I originally went to Ivy Tech State College in Indiana full time. I started slacking, majorly. The fact that I was paying for college with mutual funds left by my Grandmother there were no rules to stay enrolled like there is with financial aid. So, I did poorly when I would actually go. Resulting in being dropped because of numerous absences and left with nothing to show for all the money spent. I then went to another college and did the same thing. Once realizing this is something I NEED in life I applied for financial and started attending every scheduled class on time and trying my hardest. I didn't realize the importance of ataining higher education as I do now. I should have told myself that in my life not going to college isn't an option. Not only because I am passionate about the degree in which I am slowly achieving but also because there isn't any reason one should pass up the opportunity to be able to learn and grow in a safe environment.

  9. Here's your chance: Say anything about your college!

    My school has less students in a class than at a university. The teachers actually help you one on one and they know your name appose to just being a face in the crowd. Our campus withholds the oppurtunity for the students to make careers at the school while still being a student, it is an aid to help you find work. It also prepares high school students as they journey with the ACE (Achieving College Education) program. This is a program that allows students that are high school sophmores to take college courses.

    The most frustrating thing about my school would be the fact that I am unable to buy books until some sort of financial aid is granted.
