Student Reviews and Ratings for Southwestern Community College
Overall Rating:
Used to be a quality educational institution but ubiquitous national rankings drove a business mentality into education. Unless pursuing a trade certificate, current and future students would be best suited to go to WCU with the reduced tuition.
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™SCC certainly has some good things, but some problems and discrimination also. I frequently instruct specialty courses in the surrounding area. A current English Instructor, and past Department Chairman, Chris Cox, once told me that attendance at a Marilyn Manson concert or devil worship could be a students personal Spiritual Health. This was during a conversation, when Chris Cox was stating his opposition to a Biblical reference, even though it was in the college textbook. Chris later tried to falsify his way out of the statement and ended up apologizing to a local reporter reporting on the story, and was removed from the Department Chair position.
