Alum: I cannot speak highly enough about WSU Tech. I met all my favorite teachers there in the Information Technology program. Great opportunities for students including those in high school. You can start college programs through WSU Tech as early as your Sophomore year in high school. I started my Sophomore year and graduated from the IT program my Senior year. WSU Tech offers amazing classes and programs in Aviation, Healthcare, Construction, Manufacturing, Information Technology, and everything in between across its two campuses. If I had to earn an Associate's again I'd do it through WSU Tech.... Read 112 reviews

Junior: My overall experience at Pittsburg State University has been nothing but the best. I love the atmosphere of the campus and college in general. Every professor I have had here has been so helpful, they truly want the best for the students ensuring that we all succeed not only in their class but our futures. Pittsburg State University opened their arms to me the first day I toured it. The campus is very inclusive and offers many opportunities to join all sorts of different clubs. I would recommend Pittsburg State University to everyone that is looking to go to college. Go Rillas!... Read 1,017 reviews

I have troubles with understanding material in class sometimes, but my instructors go above and beyond to help me, providing more one-on-one teaching encounters.

Niche User: Its got its ups it down but for the most part its a great college and fairly cheap considering how exspensive collages are now a days, it has great staff and teachers and they are always willing to help if you need and nothing about how to get into the college is confusing. As far as cost goes classes are cheap and for the most part depending what you like can actually be pretty fun overall the collage is great and i would reccomend it to anyone if i they were looking for a good technical collage to lear technical skills they needed for there jobs they wanted to go into...

They are good about explaining your degree plan to you and making sure you are on the right track. All of the faculty is super friendly and willing to work with you on things. It is a small school which is nice if you went to a smaller high school and class sizes are anywhere from 5 to 20 people!... Read 34 reviews

  Rating 4.02 out of 5  367 reviews

Alum: Hutchinson is a great option for those looking at earning some online credits as well as working on an associate's degree on campus. The online infrastructure through this college is robust, quality, and pretty affordable. While some areas are less equipped, the sciences department is a standout. For those looking at on-campus classes, HutchCC has done a fantastic job maintaining the physical campus and it really is a standout community college nestled in a sleepy town. The library is particularly great for a school of this size. Plus those interested in astronomy or space history will be thrilled that the Cosmosphere is right next to campus and offers some world-class exhibits and learning opportunities. For sports fans, HutchCC has hosted the NJCAA Div I Men's Basketball tournament for 75 consecutive years. Overall a solid, affordable option for online or on-campus learning!... Read 367 reviews

Freshman: My experience in Garden City Community College has been great. I love the teachers and the program they have here. They take care of you and talk to make sure you are not struggling. This school has so much to provide to student who don't have a lot of money to afford going to college. They help you find scholarships or help with financial aid. I cannot wait to start the nursing program next year, hopefully I can get in. This college has shown so much support to students from out of the country. I like the experience I have my first year and hope it goes well my second year. I like that this college is not that stressful and that it gives you a place to feel safe. They make sure you feel at home and that you can talk to each other if you feel like you miss your home. But I got lucky because this college is next to my town. I like about 5 minutes from garden city community college. I love that this college is right for me. I cannot wait for others to attend this college. It amazing!... Read 156 reviews

The class sizes are small so there is more chance for personalized learning and the professors are all really nice about tutoring one on one. There are many sports games to go watch on campus so there is more time and opportunities to socialize with other students on campus and make new friends. The dorms on campus are nice and there is a wide variety of dorms for all genders as well as apartment style dorms.... Read 130 reviews

Sophomore: My first year at Butler was amazing! I met two of my bestest friends on only the first day of school! The teachers are also great. My public speaking class, which I was nervous for, turned out to be my favorite class of my whole first year! My biology professor made everything easy to understand and related the topics to our lives so we would better understand. I was also lucky enough to have the same teacher for two different classes which was really helpful since I already knew how she ran everything. The environment is small yet welcoming which makes it very easy to talk to people even as an introvert. I have also attended multiple sporting events which had high energy throughout the whole game! I recommend Butler to everyone I talk to and I can’t wait to see what the up coming year has in store for me.... Read 475 reviews

Alum: Washburn feels like home to me. It is an amazing place to learn in small class settings and has a lively community of students of all ages and backgrounds. It is extremely affordable compared to other universities in the state and has some beautiful new additions to campus since I graduated. I was able to have a 1-on-1 relationship with all of my professors and that helped me better comprehend the materials I was being taught and made learning fun and easy, especially knowing I always had help if needed. The campus is picturesque and the living spaces are comfortable and inviting. Plus, they just added a new merit scholarship grid that is based solely on your high school GPA, so you can get a big scholarship right off the bat just for applying! I wish they had that when I attended, although I still paid off my education less than a year after graduating! It's a first-class education at an affordable rate and I can't recommend enough....

Alum: Coming from a small town high school into MATC, the size doesn't change much at all. Which I can appreciate. The campus is one or two building, so finding classes will be the least of your concerns. While some may find the first impression underwhelming, the program I went through was thorough and provided the education I needed. I'd consider it a lean process, it trims off the plush experience of college like dorms, parties, athletics, and really sticks to what is most necessary to accomplish your degree.... Read 58 reviews

Graduate Student: I think the social aspect of Cowley is amazing, and executed almost perfectly. Cowley is only a community college and not as big as other colleges, and definitely not as big as universities around it. BUT I will say that given that it is a smaller school, Cowley treats its students lavishly. And the way students are always given opportunities to get out into the community and experience life in a small town in Kansas. I cannot recommend this college enough for high-schoolers that are intimidated by the idea of college but still need to get classes done for their degree!... Read 303 reviews

Sophomore: Ive been a student at Barton County Community College on and off for the past handful of years, and am currently a full time student in the Paramedic Program. BCCC has always being incredibly accommodating to me as a student. Particularly, the financial aid department has gone above and beyond to help me make sure everything financial is in order. Especially notable is one of the financial aid ladies bending over backwards, when I lost track of a particular scholarship, in order to make sure I had the help and coverage I needed. On multiple occasions, my teachers and instructors have helped me through class, especially when dealing with personal issues and complications. All staff encounters have been phenomenal, and they truly embody caring about their students. BCCC offers an extensive variety of classes, both in-class and online. They cater to making a student a success, no matter what their plans and goals.... Read 277 reviews

They have so many resources for students for all kinds of situations including research opportunities, on-campus jobs, tutoring, financial assistance and so much more. All of the instructors that I've had have been very open about expectations and how to succeed, and there are many advisors, instructors, etc, that you can reach out to when needing assistance or information.

KCKCC is highly involved with its surrounding communities and offers so many clubs and programs for anyone to join. Counselors have helped me so much and always reach out to make sure that I’m doing okay. I would say that the school could do a bit better on offering class times that work for ALL student schedules (not just for the high school kids who may be taking courses). Other than that, if you’re looking for an affordable 2-year institution within KC, apply here!... Read 398 reviews

Teachers at Tech really take time to make sure you are understanding your classes and take extra time to explain things if needed. I enjoy my time at tech and can not wait until next semester....

Freshman: Nice campus, engaged community! Excellent vocal music program and campus life experience! The large on-campus population in a small town makes for a uniquely valuable social growth opportunity for students coming into college. Small class sizes ensure students are able to be given the one on one interaction time that all data shows to be beneficial. I was a student here and met friends from all walks of life, from around the country who I'm friends with 20 years later. The staff and faculty care about the success of their students, both academically and personally. Like any college experience you will get out what you put into it, but Highland truly offers a unique opportunity for growth during those transition years of a traditional student coming from High School and going on to a 4 year. I'm also very impressed with how much the technical programs have grown and evolved! Or maybe I just didn't know how cool they were before. Either way, the school is a very amazing experience...

This college also allowed me to attend classes in the evenings and online. I liked that because I work during the day, and they could adjust my class to my work schedule.

I have no problem with the teachers and staff that work at FSCC, but I have had a hard time figuring things out. I live off campus in my own apartment and rent can get crazy, it fluctuates according to my income, so I cannot always save money aside to pay off my debt. They never got my theater scholarship application so I now have to wait while they process it to get my books for my classes this semester.
