Chemeketa Community College Reviews
Rating 3.84 out of 5 797 reviews
I have really enjoyed my time at Chemeketa. I have taken both in-person and online classes, and both have been very well organized and the teachers have been excellent in their fields. Community college gets a lot of flack, but I feel like I made a really smart choice going here first, exploring my options, and getting my associate's at a much lower price. The advisors, tutors, and other admin staff are incredibly kind and helpful, and want to see you succeed. Most of my experience so far has been at the Yamhill Valley Campus, which has wonderful lighting, technology access, and studying areas. I highly recommend attending Chemeketa if you are considering post-secondary education, whether that be just a few classes or working toward a graduate degree. I want to give a special shout out to my favorite teacher there: Keely Baca! I love her teaching style and personality, and all of her anthropology classes have been wonderful; she's the reason I'm going into museum work!
My overall experience was pretty great! I did all of my freshman year online and I couldn’t have been happier. I got to go do fun things like snowboarding, traveling, and got to work full time while also doing school. The other great thing about doing it online is the easy access to professors through email or zoom calls. They set up the whole online system in a very accessible and understanding way. I liked how it was easy to navigate and how easy it was to do homework on the go. The only thing that went poorly was when Canvas was down and it had to update. The other minor thing that was hard was the initial start of each class. I just had to get used to it but once I did, It was pretty easy! Overall loved the online version! Looking forward to taking some in person classes next fall!
Growing up I was raised in an environment where college was looked at as an impossible future. For years, I felt my life situation confirmed my future to be limited of opportunity. I continued my life without furthering my education after high school for four years. After every year that passed, I refuse to believe what I could offer can be so limited. Just this summer I decided to determine my own future and began to inform myself about college. Looking into Chemeketa was a given. Chemeketa is an accepting school, forgiving of one's past experiences. I had received help instantly and am being guided into looking for possible opportunities to further my education. I have not started classes yet, but I had been given a reassuring feeling by Chemeketa through a program called CAMP. CAMP is a program for students with migrant backgrounds. The program provides resources throughout your first year of college to succeed such as, tutoring, textbooks, laptops, and calculator rentals, etc.
