I have a positive opinion on Spartanburg Methodist college. i am excited to go there and be part of the family. I have a sibling who goes there and has loved it. The faculty is super nice and caring. They try their best to help you financially and they are always one to one conversations and those are the best.

Jim - 05/05/2021

This college takes your money and does not provide the instructions you pay for! Teachers stopped classes after 30 to 40 min or sooner and told students to watch links on the internet. Struggling students had no chances to get help as teaches avoided class interaction! Paid for campus activities while being an online student refusing to undergo weekly covid 19 testing. No activities for online students, social isolation and uncaring staff at this college. Only money hungry office staff at this college! Worst college ever went to! Just bad and non caring teachers who can't teach online and avoid student interactions. Teacher never bothered to stay in zoom call lesson for more than 30 min at a time, when normal lessons are 50 min to over an hour! Did not check on students as they used to and charged for full tuition but received part time. Learning on your own experience only!

Genyia - 04/06/2020

Spartanburg Methodist College is an great college to come to right after you graduate high school. There is never a time that you won't feel safe on campus, campus safety is always available for you at any time of the day or night. The student to teacher ratio is great, you will never have a class that is too big for your learning environment. Also, professors are always there for you when you need help with assignments and also editing essays for you. This college really makes you feel very comfortable and also an easy adjustment to the college life.

Chelsey - 06/20/2019

SMC is a very close-knit college and there are always familiar faces to be seen around all the time. The professors are great and actually care about the students and what they are learning and there are clubs for almost every kind of activity someone might be involved in.

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

    I am a non-traditional student who unlike most of my fellow classmates, have a little bit of "real world" knowledge. If I could go back in time, I do not believe I would speak to myself. By having a conversation with myself, what might I affect? Would my life be different from what it is now? I am not unlike most people when I think to myself and wonder what I would like to have better in my life but in doing so, one must take stock on what is good and be appreciative. In speaking to myself in the past, I could make my present state of affairs less desirable. I believe on playing the hand I have been dealt because the next hand could be worse.
