    I started coming to St. Phillip's College as soon as I graduated from high school, I want keep learning an education. This is an amazing college, the staff are great! They want you to succeed in your courses, so they will encourage you to pass.
    St.Philips College is great if you're doing a 2+2 plan. I personally think that based on which school you are building your degree pan around, you become trapped in. If you plan on attending a university, put in the research before you start planning your degree plan - or you will end up having to pay out of pocket for classes you didn't take at the community college.

    The staff is occasionally helpful and depending on your counselor, they are as well.
