    Great school for a great price. Students can easily go into a career, transfer to a four-year degree, or just take courses to learn something new!

    This college has shaped me to become the person I am today! I am currently the student government association presidents and my experience here has been amazing. Prior to becoming the president, I was a student ambassador. They encourage you to get involved on campus and be active in campus life activities.
    SCCC is a big campus with newer labs and nice classrooms. The Professors provide students with one on one time if needed and are always willing to help. Many of the Professors have a great educational background and are experienced in their field. Class sizes aren't too large and therefore students always have a chance to speak up in class discussions and ask questions. The college has clubs and sports for students to join and offers fun activities. Although the college has tried to improve students' parking experience by constructing a whole new parking lot, parking is quite difficult to find.
