    One of the best things about SCC is that it is not a large college; it is a good size and it is easy to become familiar with. The teachers here are often incredibly understanding and easy to talk to; I have only encountered one teacher that I believed to be difficult. With my other professors, I have become personally acquainted with them. I have met many great students and faculty in my few years here.

    Some of the students were still young, and acted like they didn't want to be there. But once I got into my major classes, those were the people who were really serious. I definitely recommend finding the serious students to study with and work on group projects with. Otherwise you may find yourself with my work than you bargained for.
