Reviews of Seattle Central College (University)

E Celestial

Absolute garbage.

David Nickle

Not feel welcome there. Test center staff was eating during the students took the test. Staff and instructor should be patient to talk to new students as well as explain the lesson. Not a good school to recommend.

SCC is a great College, really committed to providing good education. Very diverse and friendly atmosphere. The administrative staff is OK but they are very confusing about college procedures and information. You have to ask any question for more than one person to be sure.

This review for any international student who is thinking about coming to Seattle Central College. Please, please, STAY AWAY from this school if you want to really have a good experience in the U.S and earn a degree. Studying at Seattle Central is the worst experience I have ever had. I had been studying at Seattle Central College for two years, the way they talk to international students is absolutely disgusting, specially the cashier office at student service who you will meet with at least twice every quarter. They will ruined your whole excitement to study. If you want to have fun and enjoy your education, from the bottom of my heart, stay away from this school. They treat international students like animals.

It started when I went to the Seattle Central College Disability Support Services on Monday 6-11-18 at 9:00 AM to get my accommodations because I am a student with a disability that needs accommodations to be able to succeed in my classes like every other student. I met with Al Souma the disability Counselor/Faculty and Cebrina Chavez Program Coordinator in their office. I asked nicely for Al Souma to check his email that would explain why I was meeting with him on Monday 6-11-18 and the accommodations that I wanted so I could succeed so Al Souma "asked me to explain the email" so I did and said I would please like an accommodation letter with the accommodations that I requested and all of sudden Al Souma got close up to my face like our noses literately could of been touching each other that's how close he got and Al Souma said "I am not going to accommodate you what you gonna do about it" I almost fell out of my chair and I could tell he looked like he might be reaching for a weapon so I told him I am going to security and all of a sudden I had major breathing problems and so I left the Disability Support Services office trying to get help looking for security but no security guard was at their post. I had to walk up to the 4th floor to the administration office to get help all the way from the 1st floor and when I got to the administration office where the presidents of the colleges are and "I asked for help please call security and explained Al Souma might be armed and call 911 I cant breath please help me" the secretary tried to reach security and told me "no I am not calling 911" I could feel I was about to die I was fainting and I kept saying "help call 911 I can't breath" and that went on for 2 to 3 minutes that the secretary kept saying "I'm not calling 911" then Angelique Odom Executive Assistant to President Sheila Edwards Lange Seattle Central College walks out of the corner and says "Well I guess you should just call 911" as if she did not care and I am still saying "help me" and no one is helping me I am still about to run out of breath and pass out everyone was just staring. When the secretary called 911 she did not really want to answer their questions once so ever and they never followed protocol by having the 911 people hear my breathing issue. She was trying every power she could not to answer their questions. She hung up the phone I am still asking for "help I can't breath" it took a while for security to come mean while everyone in the administration office just staring at me like it is all funny and no one even asked me hey do you need an inhaler, paper bag or water they just stood their as I was slowing dying away. When security came he tried to ask me what was going on and wanted to call my parents and we where able to get my dad on the phone at first and he said he would be there soon. The Fire Department came and said your breathing levels are really high and the other scary thing was the fire department was trying to make up every excuse of why I was breathing so heavily and did not want to hear my side of the story "I tried to explain to them about my disability, also that I am highly allergic to almonds and that I feel scared for my life and that there is a dangerous man on campus possibly armed with a weapon." Plus neither did they asked me if I needed an inhaler, paper bag or water. They did not even really want to do their jobs I tried my best to asked for a report they said "you can't get one" now in my mind as I am still having breathing issues I am thinking to myself I never heard of that before not being able to get a summary of the report. I felt like it was over for me if my dad did not get there because no one was trying to help. The fire Department never did their jobs correctly neither did the school where I almost died which is wrong.

I have been to the admissions office, the registration office, the cashier, and the advising office. They have all been polite and have been able to answer any question I could come up with. The gentleman in the advising office was really great, and Tony (the veteran rep) is always very quick to respond and assist in any way.

This review is for the testing center. I used to get my exams proctored here for some of my online classes. The staff are really nice, but they're also very disorganized. They have a walk-in policy, but wouldn't let me scheduled an exact time for my exam, and often I would be told to come back or be left waiting for 30 minutes. Despite taking at least 6 exams here, they always had issues with administering my exam and were always confused about the instructions. I ended up switching my center to Shoreline CC even though is was much farther away and had a better experience there.

Best college in Seattle .Something amazing, teaching methods, instructors , and advisors everything there amazing, the are friendly.

Tambal Cat

I have called them multiple times, just trying to get information regarding enrollment ... not once have I been able to talk to a person!! If they run the college like they run the answering service, the college is a BIG FAIL!

Dont even bother coming here, stay away like plague. The Allied Health is an extreme joke where they plan intentionally to confuse and harass unassuming students. Joni Whitsitt in particular is a disgusting racist, arrogant, illiterate individual who has never acquired any kind of degree, much less do simplest math or ever run the class AV machine. She has no reasonable or organized proficiency assessment, but rather this arrogant individual only passes whom she likes in the class. She will design tests to fail half the class, having never explained or covered anything in class and then suddenly allow only the students she likes to do a makeup exam. She is extremely disorganized and always comes to class complaining how she was overworked at some other job and has no sleep or time for students here. She will text and call the entire planet to try to dig up negative information on persons she decides she doesnt like. If you just look at her, you see she has a nervous uncontrolled tremor, but she has the audacity to look at people and tell them they have no motor skills and insult them saying they cant learn. She repeatedly uses vulgar and degrading language in class but then goes around blaming others for her inappropriate language. Just another huge obvious reason this school has no interest in their students, the teachers have zero academic credentials or ability to teach and they put arrogant degrading illiterate individuals like this in managerial teaching positions simply to harass and intimidate unassuming students. Zero stars, only a negative rating at best and stay away from Allied Health here at all cost.

Had a good time when I went to school here. Classes were expensive for international students but the majority of teachers I had here made me feel at home for 2 and half years there I won’t forget. This review is long over due. Thank you.

Annie John has been the most brilliant teacher I have come across. Her knowledge and wisdom to understand each and every sequence in order to simplify the problem in the most effecient way has helped guide me in learning which direction my …

The fat white woman who works at cafeteria is super rude. She seems like the manager there.

Arrigo Russo

Its a great one, nice and the teachers are awesome!!!

Benji White

Fun and vibrant environment. Some instructors need to go.

陳雪琪

Also an international student here, but absolutely love this school. Spent good times with great professors and awesome friends in SCC. Staff I met in the school were all supportive and helpful. I guess it’s what kind of person you are that defines your opinion of SCC.

Never been here, but i guess it's good

Cafeteria is terrible. There is a big woman here and she is not nice. I do not know her name but she seems like a supervisor there. She often show the attitude and let people wait for a long time to go somewhere to do something else. One time I bought a cup of soup (big one), but she filled only 3/4 of cup (the same amount of small cup) and showed attitude. Classes are limited. Students often can not register the classes they want. Most chinese international students can not speak english, even after they graduate from this college (wonder how this college still let people who can not even speak english to graduate). Cheating often happens in this college but professor seem like they do not care (most of cheaters are international students)

Teachers are decent. Class schedule is limited.

I've taken a lot of classes here. I've done community education classes in Italian, writing, and watercolor painting. All of the instructors are really qualified and nice.

I chose this school for my first college experience for multiple reasons. I heard from friends and the community of Seattle about the diversity among the students and instructors, which I found to be true. My instructors were, for the most …

Excellent school, Community Colleges really are superior to Universities in almost every way

The worse college I have been to of trying to get enrolled too so far. Lack of communication and a bunch of getting the run around. The orientation is a joke they don't explain a whole lot. You will be sent from one department for one thing and then to and one for something else and still don't get everything you need. They don't tell you what you need until the last min. than it to late. This is my third day and still have not been enrolled yet because they don't tell you everything up front. And there is no one to help you. You are literally getting the run around with no guidance. Now I have to start all over because I know there are better college out there than this one. I really thought this college would be more helpful but boy I was wrong. BIG JOKE AND A WASTE OF TIME!!!!

Excellent place to learn. A bit too expensive for me, though.

Denisse Hopfmanh

My cousin goes here and he loves his teachers. They've been very supportive the whole time.

Paul Michel

If I went to jail I’d probably be treated better. The administration is HORRIBLE, and most lack basic hygiene. If I were the dean of this school I would be ashamed to be represented by a group of embarrassing people.

I hated this school before I even arrived. Transferred from WCC, another poorly-run "college". SCC & WCC are only 100 miles apart, but each has a different school year. I lost a $1600 grant because neither school told me their school years start in different quarters...*****s!! The people who answer phones/email are incompetent & give WRONG info at every turn. They take forever to give answers & often just ignore questions. Nobody ever admits they're wrong. Financial Aid dept is awful & has foreign exchange students answering phones. Almost nobody knows how to do their jobs in any dept & usually pass me to someone else. Thanks affirmative action! As others have said, every step is needlessly complicated. I transferred here to take intensive Summer classes, but now Math 142 may be cancelled due to lack of enrollment. Some instructors are good, but there's too many inept people inbetween. There's only 1 person handling ALL incoming transcripts, so it takes a month to look at it (IF you fill out a form to ask them to look at it). Completely ridiculous so far, I'm already looking at other schools for Fall. Also, I hate Capitol Hill. What a mistake.

Weird staff members, they know everything but they don't tell anything until the last min they keep you running around go there ask there and no solution huh just wasting your time. unprofessional, unorganized, and impolite staff they saw you like you owe their money.

Steven Vroom

Tanner Fox

The best teachers and curriculum. Better than the 4 year schools I have tried to attend (central actually cares)
