    Sinclair is a great opportunity for students who are in the greater Dayton area. It is a budget friendly way to achieve a college degree. there are multiply class locations across different cities and online courses to cater to each students needs. Sinclair is a very diverse school and has a great learning environment. Sinclair could improve on its different clubs and non academic activities, but for now they are still worth getting involved in!

    I attended Sinclair for my associates degree. I am from Columbus Ohio and dedicated myself to driving the hour and a half to get there. I've been to two other colleges but this was a great experience for me. The application process is easier than expected, registering for classes is a breeze, and people in advising are amazing! There are many events around campus, my favorite are around the beginning of the classes. I really just found it easy to be a student here! I also want to let the world know that there is a walkway from the garage to the buildings, that way you don't have to go outside. Also, there is a swimming pool! Many don't know the wonderful world of building 8! Regardless, Sinclair makes it easier for you to succeed! There are so many people to help you along your path, and they don't leave your side.
    Given the cheaper price you're paying for a community college, Sinclair is definitely worth the money, given their quality facility and academics. Also, despite the bad area, the place feels very safe and is always trying to look nice. However, given the cheaper price, there's cuts in quality, which mainly comes in the form of some mediocre professors and very unhelpful academic advisers, especially when you're planning on transferring to another college. They'll practically tell you to handle it yourself unless there's already an established articulation agreement with that college.
