    Hello everyone, I'm currently a freshman in South Mountain Community College and overall my experience there is excellent! The professor are great and since the classes are small you'll be able to talk one on one with the professors if you ever have an extra question or need help after class. South Mountain is really great and if you are going for your associates degree then I suggests going to South Mountain! It's better to South Mountain first than going to a university first and pay a lot of money just to get your associates degree, South Mountain is way Cheaper than a university. South Mountain helped me on what major/career path I want to go and I'm sure they will help you too.
    South Mountain Community College is a small, but comfortable college to attend. The services provided by the school such as financial aid, library, writing center, tutoring and disability center are very helpful resources that have helped me, and others I know successfully complete their classes. The school provides a large variety of career selections, and classes and materials are affordable. Overall, I'm happy to continue my studies here.
