Joann - 09/04/2024

It's a diverse, accomodating, and welcoming place to be.

mia - 05/13/2022

I loved the 2 years I spent there. Everyone is welcoming and kind. There are lots of events and clubs to join. Classes are small so you really get to have one on one conversations with your professors. The Campus is well maintained. Can easily make friends .

Chloe - 12/17/2019

At first, I felt intimidated by many students because as a Running Start student, I'm very young. However, this college is full of many different people of a wide range of age groups, so I don't even feel the need to tell others my age unless it just pops up. I'm very grateful for the opportunity I have through Running Start, because I have the option to enroll full-time and graduate with an Associates degree at the same time as graduating high school! Then I can move on to a four-year college, and not pay as much or as long as many others at my high school.

Ana - 09/19/2019

Overall, I found south seattle very friendly. It was definitely easy to get in touch with admin and financial and any other offices. Teachers were nice and class sizes were great. Maybe because it was a community college, I did not find much groups and associations.
