I am a current sophomore at FSCC. The instructors, staff, facilities, and programs are, in my opinion, well-organized, clean, and held to high standards. All colleges have flaws, but in my opinion, FSCC is a very nice place to get a higher education at an affordable cost. I have earned a 4.0 in both semesters I've attended here. The advisors have been very helpful, pointing me to classes I have very much enjoyed and helping me keep my goals in sight. Several student-centered events, occasional free food and beverage tables, a fully equipped and staffed testing center and learning lab, plus free faxing, copying, printing, tutoring and internet access in the MILL, along with Xbox systems to play in the Student Union, and laptops for loan from Advising, help make this school very student-friendly. Instructors do everything in their power to help students who try, succeed.
Make no mistake - this is a small town's college. Students who come here expecting big city amenities and entertainment will be disappointed. Do what I did while attending school in Chicago - walk to the free attractions (park, open air concerts, etc.), use coupons for free/discounted movies and dining. Bring your own games, game systems, books, laptops, etc. Put effort into your school experience. So many unhappy students I see here barely seem to try or care. They are unhappy because they are not carried by others and entertained, or because the food is different from what they are used to. I have eaten in the cafeteria on a hamburger Friday and thought it was delicious and filling! This is the economical choice for a higher education and you get what you pay for. So if you want Ivy League rooms, food, and services, pay an Ivy League price. If you want a good education with friendly, helpful people, and are willing to live with a small room and fairly ho-hum food, you'll pay a whole lot less for the same degree.
Highly recommended!
