I loved learning at Chemeketa! The campus is beautiful and there are many helpful resources there for students to help them succeed. Some of those resources include tutoring and office hours. Out of all the colleges I looked into, Chemeketa was my favorite because of its small student to teacher ratio, helpful resources, and well spaced and decorated class rooms.
Chemeketa offers a large variety of programs because it is the second largest community college in Oregon. I earned a degree in horticulture and my review focuses on that program which will not necessarily match the experience of students in other programs.
The horticultural program provides an opportunity to get hands on skills in how to grow plants. Students raise plants in the campus green house. All classes have laboratories in which you apply the skills taught in the course. Many classes have field trips in which you visit relevant businesses and see how what you are learning is used in the industry.
Unfortunately, the school does not clearly communicate about the horticultural job market to students. The field is lower paying then the school discusses in its promotional materials.
The student body reflects the district with a mix of mostly Hispanic and white students. Campus life is strong for a community college with an active multicultural center program.

I’m going to college for the first time as an adult. I was really worried about attending a community college. But it’s very diverse in age, everyone has been incredibly friendly and helpful. I haven’t done much with the other activities on campus as I work full time and I’m a parent, but academically, I’m very impressed!
