    Am learning a lot

    Salem offers a lot of education to the people who are willing to take it. Many students look at Salem like grade 13; however, teachers take students serious if the students are serious about increasing their knowledge.
    Am enjoying being here

    I enjoy being here. The teachers I've had are very caring and offer extra help when needed, especially in the science department. There is no drama and everyone really gets along.
    Bang for the buck

    I think it's worth the amount you're paying. It's a community college so it's not that expensive. You get what you put in.
    Tips for prospective students

    Take it serious. Treat it like it's a university and not just a step up from high school. You'll learn more, and get more out of your experience.

    Tips for prospective students

    I agree with a previous reviewer..you must do a lot of your own footwork here. Many of the staff are completely lackadaisical about helping students and some seem to be very confused and/or misinformed. I once called a number listed in the catalog for a specific department and the woman who answered told me she didn't know how I got that number. Registration and financial aid are both departments that have many problems.

    While most of the teachers are cool, some of the adjunct faculty can be a real challenge to deal with. Overall though, the material covered is in-depth, and professors are readily available for discussing any questions or concerns.

    Some of the staff members are extremely helpful and will go to great lengths to assist students. However, many seem to have no clue what is going on, much less any desire to help the students. Something as simple as finding out an instructor's office number can be difficult. Not only that, but some students tend to be disruptive, and teachers are a bit lax to reprimand anyone. If you can focus on your own work and ignore them though, you should be fine.
    Bang for the buck

    Salem Community College is worth the money as long as you put effort into it. A lot can be learned, but too many students look at it as an extension of the high school experience rather than approaching it as a college-level education.
    Tips for prospective students

    SCC is not a difficult school to gain admission to, which is a plus for some. However, for potential students, I would strongly encourage you to get to know at least one or two of your teachers. I've found this to be extremely helpful as I apply to 4-year schools and submit scholarship applications. Also, as mentioned above, treat the courses as college-level work, even if some may seem otherwise.
    Great for these types of students

    SCC is good if you are looking to get a feel for college level material, or if you wish to work on raising your GPA to appeal to 4-year schools. But keep in mind that it is a Community College and therefore does not provide an extensive education.
