10 Students rated Somerset Community College

Dylan - 05/19/2020

It is a good school that helps students with continuing their education post high school while keeping it affordable. The advisors as well as the teachers strive to help their students succeed and help students whenever they need it. Also they continue to improve their online education.

Brittany - 10/09/2019

Its an ok school. They seem to try their best and work with you the best they can. The programs could be better. For example the RN program only has so many options. It is not ideal for someone with a 8-5 job and has a child. The best you can do is the LPN program that's Friday Saturday and Sunday and then have no social life.

Nathaniela - 08/12/2019

My overall opinion of Somerset Community College is great. There are different branches of SCC throughout Kentucky, so you won't have difficulty finding one locally. SCC staff and teachers really seem to care for the students and will help you in anyway they can. If you're looking for something that's smaller and cheaper, but still offers the same opportunities as bigger colleges than SCC is for you!

Hailey - 02/06/2019

Great school with great staff and awesome education. The staff is very friendly and is there to assist you if you ever need anything. The campus is not too big and easily accessible to anyone. Great lunches are provided, they taste great and are made fresh daily. So overall its a really great school.

  3. What's unique about your campus?

    The best thing about Somerset Community College is the personal attention one gets from attending a community college verses a University. The classrooms are smaller making them more personal. The teachers are more readily accessible in a smaller classroom setting then a larger one. In my classroom everyone knows everyone?s names and is comfortable asking questions. The teachers provide a very relaxed atmosphere that makes me feel comfortable to use my individual style of learning. I have never had to wait over 24 hours on a response to any question.

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

    I wish that I had known that for each class, there are many options for places to purchase textbooks. Rather than pay full price for textbooks, one can be resourceful and share books with a study partner, purchase used books, check out library books and other options that would save on college expenses. I also wish I had known that a college experience is about taking courses that enhance knowledge not just fulfill the requirements towards a specific major. The process of learning can lead to lifelong friendships and obtaining knowledge of a variety of areas.

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

    The most frustrating thing about school is the fact that not all courses are offered each term. This requires a great deal of juggling to make sure that courses are signed up for depending on the term they are offered, and that the required preliminary classes are completed prior to the deadlines. Not only do you have to pay attention to days and times a course is offered, but also to when it is offered again in case you are unable to register for a particular course needed.

    What I brag about most when I tell my friends about my school is my adviser. My adviser is very helpful and listens to my wants and needs. My goals set before me and I choose what is best for me considering I am a full time mother and full time state registered nursing assistant. My adviser helps me in finding the classes that I need and works my classes into my everyday life so that I may have time to provide for my family and be there for my family which is very important to me.
