    Am learning a lot

    I feel Rogue community College is an excellent jump off point. The instructors as well as the students are very enjoyable. Instructors are well versed in the areas in which they teach, which is always a plus.
    Am enjoying being here

    I am half way done at R.C.C. and I'm ready for a bigger, more challenging school.
    Bang for the buck

    As far as bang for your buck goes, R.C.C. provides a great education with minimal expense.
    Tips for prospective students

    Be prepared to become serious in your educational endeavors. When applying yourself to your course work stay focused and learn to be a master of time.

    RCCC offers a quality education for lower tuition than the universities. It is a great school to launch your academic career and fulfill your prerequisites. The professors and teachers are great and teach to a higher level of excellence such as what you would expect from a University.
    Tips for prospective students

    Take a placement test, go to the orientation, meet with your academic advisor and be sure to take the scholarship writing class too.
    Academic Rigor

    We have had students join our classes from SOU thinking since they had to retake the course it would be easier. This was not the case, and in fact it was more challenging. Our professors do not slack and they make sure you know the materials.
    Dorm Life

    I live off campus, and RCC doesn't have dorms in Medford.
    Food and Dining

    The Medford campus is downtown and there are plenty of local establishments to grab a bite to eat or get a cup of coffee from. This campus has a lunch counter, but not a cafeteria.
    What to do for fun

    Hiking, biking, movies, the Britt Festival, Shakespeare festival, plus we have many parks, lakes and a water slide park down in Ashland. There's plenty to do around the area!
    Bang for the buck

    I would say you get more education that what you pay for. The classes at RCC prepare students to transfer to 4 year colleges.
    Great for these types of students

    All students
    Clubs and Activities

    I don't get involved with clubs and activities due to lack of childcare, but RCC offers several things for students to get involved in.
    Campus Safety

    Safe & secure

    Am learning a lot

    I really feel that Rogue Community College has given me a good foundation for education. The classes they offer have been a tremendous help, not to mention it is amazing how some of the classes are aligned with requirements for Southern Oregon University. It is literally a two in one deal if you attend! Also, the classes are not too big, but not too small and the teachers are easy to get along with.
    Am enjoying being here

    I love the college because its a nice step before I attend a university. The structure of the campus is wonderful because it causes a lot of interaction amongst peers, and teachers alike. The only drawback about the college is in terms of atmosphere. Some of the buildings are older, and also in Medford there are parking problems which have caused conflict between students and the city council.

    All in all though, its a wonderful college setting. Not to mention that there are many stores and other helpful places around the main area of the campus.
    Bang for the buck

    Trust me when I say this, Rogue Community College is affordable for anyone who takes the time to look into their financial aid programs. Sure, the tuition right now has gone up a bit but compared to the prices of many high universities, Rogue Community College is a safe haven for students who come from low income families, and who already struggle in the economy while trying to make ends meet.

    The only drawback to me is Rogue Central, or the financial aid office. Some of the people in there don't seem to want to take the time to help out students, so I encourage prospective students to do their homework in regards to the services Rogue Central has to offer.

    If I never got to go to this college, I wouldn't probably be able to attend for years due to my families financial problems.
    Tips for prospective students

    -Know the area well, it is easy to get lost.
    -Take the time to get to know Rogue Central and the Counseling Department. Make sure they are giving you the correct information.
    -Take the time to talk to teachers. A lot of them are helpful more so than the counselors at times!
    -Go in with the mindset that even though it is a community college, it will push you mentally to do your best!
    Great for these types of students

    -Low income individuals
    -People who have complex schedules i.e. Family matters, work, and the like.
    -Students who love stable environments/small class groups.
    -People who enjoy flexibility
    -Students who still may not know what major they want. Rogue Community College is a great place to start before you decide what career you want for the rest of your life!

    The staff are all aware of life outside of school. They have a strict policy on late work and expectations are always high. When I need help with something they are always available to help.
    Tips for prospective students

    Do not go into college without some idea of a plan. Stick to the plan and strive to greatness.
    Great for these types of students

    This is great for first time students and students returning who have children or want to seek higher education

    Attending Rogue Community College can open up the door to a new realm of interests that are waiting to be discovered. RCC has a positive, friendly, and inviting atmosphere and all are welcome. The possibilites of achievement are endless.
    Tips for prospective students

    Get involved. Contact ASG and either get involved in student government, clubs, the Byline (school paper), or find another way to rally students together. This is school has a lot to offer so make sure you take advantage of all the opportunities.
    Academic Rigor

    It's difficult but there is also tutoring available and class sizes are small.
    Food and Dining

    There is a deli but I've never eaten there.
    What to do for fun

    Get involved!
    Bang for the buck

    Not bad but I am disappointed they are raising tuition this fall.
    Great for these types of students

    Most of the teachers are very dedicated and care about their students. The financial aid is given out on a debit card two weeks after the term starts.
    The teachers in the tutoring center are awesome.
    Tips for prospective students

    Talk to present students about the teachers. Make sure you study your tail off, especially when it comes to Math. Go to ratemyprofessor.com to get some insight.
    Academic Rigor

    It depends upon what you are majoring in. I am majoring in business marketing, so I am getting my prerequisites out of the way before I transfer up to Portland State University.
    Dorm Life

    there aren't dorms here.
    Food and Dining

    It's passable, but I recommend bringing your food from home. There are three microwaves available for people to use, but clean up after you use them.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    Behind the Josephine building there is a totem pole with a circle of rocks in front of it.
    Clubs and Activities

    There are many different groups, however I do not partake in any of them.
    Campus Safety

    Fair at best. They are located in a strange area away from campus.

    Overall, a great educational experience. I have only had about 3 instructors that were not very good, other than that all instructors have been very engaging and educational. I especially love the small classroom sizes, particularly for the labs in the sciences.
    Academic Rigor

    The courseload is not overbearing, I took 12 credits and was also working full time. It was definitely challenging, but being able to have class only 2 days a week and still be attending full time made it a lot easier on me. The schedule is quiet flexible with all of the course offerings.
    Dorm Life

    It is a community college so there are no dorms.
    Food and Dining

    There is a small cafe in the HEC and G buildings, but it is a little overpriced for sandwiches. Luckily, campus is in the middle of downtown Medford so there are many restaurants to choose from within walking distance. One of my favorites is always Misoya Sushi and Bistro, next to the Craterian.
    Bang for the buck

    Being that we also share the HEC building with Southern Oregon University, and some instructors as well, I would say that the education is quite comparable...but at literally half the cost. RCC is half as expensive as SOU is for tuition and books.
    Great for these types of students

    Adults, and especially working students.
    Clubs and Activities

    Student Government, Art.
    Greek Life

    Nonexistent.

    Small school filled mostly with locals of the Rogue Valley(Josephine and Jackson county) very comfortable and ages vary greatly. Some students are fresh highschool graduates and many others are people going back to school for better jobs.
    Tips for prospective students

    This school is very good if you are looking to not pay too much for college but plan on transfering into another school.
    Academic Rigor

    The classes are definately not highschool but im assuming not harvard either. but it is challenging and you do need to spend alot of time out of class studying!
    Dorm Life

    No dorms. most people who attend RCC are locals and drive from home/app/rental to school.
    Food and Dining

    There is food all around the valley, its all about finding it ;)
    What to do for fun

    Not much. Most people are trying to get out of the valley. Definately a peaceful place though. good place to raise a family.
    Bang for the buck

    Most the classes here at RCC are tranferable credits that can work toward most degrees in large universities in Oregon. the usual rate is $200.-$500(March 2012) per class, about 4 credits. Definately worth the buck.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    Lots of historical places and a local mountain ranges locals hike, ride and board/ski on.
    Great for these types of students

    Students returning to school to get a raise or keep up with job requirements. Students tryng to pay less for the start of college and transfer to a larger school, smart move!
