Best community college since it opened in 1969! I graduated from there in 1998 and have three kids going/have gone. Affordable, especially when you see the campus and realize how many amenities there are, which are included in the tuition price, including free tutoring.

This is hands down one of the best schools! I feel above and beyond privileged to be a student here. Whether you are a student, a visitor here for an event, a tour, pretty much anything, and everything is almost always a great experience here for everyone of all walks of like different or like minded. I have grown so much with this place over the years. That is also another part of the magic. It doesn't matter what age you are they are super happy to have you!! I am a later in life student, and the only awkward feelings I ever had were in my own head. The faculty and library have gone above and beyond to get that out of my head! I genuinely LOVE this school!!!

In early 2016 I wanted to change careers. I signed up for a tour, and I was just blown away by how nice this campus is. So, at the age of 39, I was a college student again.

The enrollment process was very easy, and everything could be done online including applying for financial aid. I enrolled in evening classes because I was working during the day. I was interested in a degree with an emphasis on Accounting because I remembered doing well and being interested in the subject when I had to take an Accounting class for a different degree.

As for the quality of the teachers, I was mostly pleased. I took Accounting 1 from Mike Megaris. I loved the energy he brought to the classroom. He was good at staying on point during the lectures. One thing I'd change is doing more problems with him in class because there were several times I came across homework problems that I'm sure weren't explained in class. I took Accounting 2 from Anthony (Tony) Wayne. That was the 1 teacher I didn't like. Anthony wasted so much class time telling stories instead of teaching. I did well in Accounting 2 because I had help from 2 other students and because another JCCC teacher, Dave Krug, posted his lectures for Accounting 2 on YouTube. Thank you, Dave! One night for Accounting 2, Sasha Gluhovsky had to sub for Anthony. I wish she could have taken over the class because she was amazing. She's the reason I got an A on the 1st test in Accounting 2.

I needed to take an econ class, so I enrolled in Microeconomics with Frank Syracuse. Frank wasn't just knowledgeable about Microeconomics. He had a passion for presenting the info in a way that the students will understand and appreciate it. Listening to him explain diminishing marginal utility using Whoppers from Burger King as an example was awesome. I took Managerial Accounting with Robert (Bob) Henn. He was an amazing teacher. He can explain complicated Accounting concepts in a way that makes it so much easier to understand. I had no idea Accounting could get this complicated when I started this journey, but having teachers like Robert makes it less intimidating.

I also took an online class during my last semester that I enrolled in at the last minute because I was short 3 credits to complete my degree. It would have been nice if the people keeping track of that warned me before I started the last semester. I ended up taking a Microsoft Office class to refresh my skills in Office, to fulfill the credit requirement, and because I knew Excel is often used in Accounting offices. However, I did not enjoy the experience. This is not the fault of JCCC. I enjoy doing many things online, but I discovered that I prefer to take my classes in a classroom where I can talk to the teacher face to face and study with other students.

The very first department I interacted with at JCCC was the Academic Advising. Each time I enrolled in classes for the next semester, I always talked to an academic advisor to see what classes I needed and what they thought would be good. That helped me a lot, and they were always happy to help. I didn't utilize the Career Development Center until was I close to graduating. They did a great job of helping me update my resume. I loved that I was able to order the books I needed online ahead of time and pick them up at the bookstore. I didn't love the college textbook prices, but they are expensive everywhere. The library and the computer labs were great places to study and get work done. The cafeteria also had a nice selection of food.

I was only there 1 year (2016-2017) because I was able to transfer my college credits, but I really enjoyed my time at JCCC, and I highly recommend that high school students consider attending JCCC instead of jumping right into a 4-year college. A 2-year degree might be all you need for your career. Even if it's not, you will be able to transfer credits from JCCC to another college and save a ton of money on tuition. Shout out to Charlene Collins, Deana Sturd, and Joanna Georgiana for helping me get A's in my classes!

I am very disappointed in the experiences both of my kids have had here. I attended many years ago, and things seemed to be much better then. My kids did well in high school and worked well with teachers, however apparently many of the teachers are now more concerned with their personal time than helping students. Some don't even offer office hours, and when our kids asked for help, they ignored their requests. My son did the welding program and was unable to complete all the classes due to limited seats and did not want to extend for another year to finish. He got a job and has since realized he didn't get the training he needed for much of the jobs out there. MWI would have been a much better choice had we known about it before he started.
My daughter is currently enrolled in summer classes and is having a very similar experience. The online experience is less than desirable. Maybe you should let your staff know the pandemic is over, and they should make themselves available to help the students who need help. Oh, and dont get me started on the rude people in the IT department who wouldn't even help my daughter with some technical issues she was having with her online class. They spent too much time judging her and talking down to her and didn't get her problem solved.
The price is cheap, so I guess we are getting what we are paying for. She can't wait to be done and get to Manhattan. Two very disappointed parents and taxpayers.
