JCTC offers perhaps the most important thing to students at any stage in life - flexibility. The KCTCS system is integrated which means online courses can be taken with any branch of the KCTCS system, not just JCTC. They offer an enormous selection of classes online which helps busy students customize their learning schedules. Even more impressive is their variety of classes offered on campus during the daytime and evening. So if you don't prefer online classes, they still have flexible options for you to fit into your busy schedule. Their staff and faculty seem genuinely interested in seeing you succeed and have helped me solve any issues I have had. Whether you are just starting your college education or returning to college to start on a new path, JCTC makes completing your educational requirements more than attainable.

Alexus

Its very affordable and have a nice class size for the people who don'.t like big class sizes. The professors are very nice and flexible. There are many groups to join and there are students who have study groups. Overall, Jefferson Community and Technical College is a great college to go to.

Gabriella

I love it, it has everything that I need and look for in a school. As a recently graduated high school student I was looking for a college that was two years, along with a small campus size. I wanted those things because I didn't want to be too intimidated my first few years of college.

Danielle

As a current student of Jefferson Community and Technical College (JCTC), I have already gained a solid opinion of this school only after 2 semesters here. I chose JCTC as the first step in my college journey and used it as my "educational gap year" until I figured out my major and where I wanted to transfer. This school is good for that transitional period, but it isn't one that I would want to stay with long term. Here, I have gained an understanding of how college classes are run, how to balance homework, class, and work, and some basic skills (e.g. studying). That being said, the JCTC campus I attend doesn't offer many opportunities for students to get involved. There aren't many (if any) clubs or study sessions, and there is only one main social area with limited chairs and room. Though this school lacks in the social and "college experience," areas, JCTC still offers good academics and easy transferring programs.

  2. What should every freshman at your school know before they start?

    A lot of high school seniors stress about college. Thoughts become overwhelmed with, "What am I going to do for the rest of my life?" Looking back on myself as a senior, I would tell myself that a high school diploma does not mean that I need to have a finalized map of my life right then and there. The first couple years of college are designed to gradually figure out plans for the future. My biggest advise would be to explore all the different options.

  4. What's unique about your campus?

    I consider the ease of picking a class schedule to be the best thing about my school. You are able to take morning classes, afternoon classes, evening classes, weekend classes, or online classes. This works out extremely well for me because I have a busy work schedule, as well.

  5. What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?

    The worst thing about JCTCS is that some people see it as an "easy" school because it is a community college. JCTCS requires the same amount of work that goes into a degree at a four year college. Community college is a way to choose a degree and begin working towards a suitable career.

    Jefferson Community and Technical College is a valuable starting ground for eventual transfer into a larger University because of the variety of general education classes, the avid attempt to keep classes transferable, and the affordablility of the education.

  7. Here's your chance: Say anything about your college!

    My school was, in my mind, the top contender for my selection. The main reason I chose to attend JCTC is because of all the programs they offer. The main program that caught my attention was the ULTRA program. Which is a program that allows students the opportunity to transfer to the University of Louisville after either recieving 24 credits or after two years. Another thing that drew me to my school was all of the on campus help. Everyone is so eager to help you through the processes. It was a blessing to have such people around.

  8. What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

    I think the main thing that I could have prepared myself for better, is the expectations. The educators in college have much higher standards. Some are more willing to compromise than others, but it's never to the point where you can slack off. I think the reason they are so aggressive is because they know that high school was kind of a light precursor to the challenges that college brings. College is on a whole other level from high school in every way. There is a lot more freedom, but with that freedom comes responsibility.

  10. What kind of person should attend this school?

    My advice for someone trying to decide wheter JCTCS is right for them, should first ask themselves if they are willing to work hard. JCTCS is the first step to achieving a degree in the desired field. Students who start out at community college have a higher chance in succeeding when they get to a university. Hard work in college is essential in the process towards a successful career.

  11. What's the most frustrating thing about your school?

    The most frustrating thing about my school is the timing of some of the functions. I do not really feel like I get to participate in some of the traditional activities that most college students get to enjoy. I think some of this has to do with my job, as some of the activities and meetings I would like to attend take place during the day, while I am at work.

  12. What are the most popular student activities/groups?

    I often hear about the English Conversation Club. It is one of my favorites due to the fact that you can actually converse with people from all different countries... even continents. It adds to the diversity level that makes Jefferson a strong--bold school.

  13. What is the stereotype of students at your school? Is this stereotype accurate?
