Julia Riggin I loved my time at Union! Met lifetime friends there! Im here at my 40th ReUnion. Having sooo much fun!

Joshua Porter Overall it really depends on what program you go to school for that will determine your experience. I went for Criminal Justice and had a lot of good professors, had Advisor Buffardi who was a very pleasant man to know and study under. Costs were generally cheap, except for the textbooks (those you should buy online for MUCH less). It can be a pain getting started because many of the different admin departments dont communicate well and the general advisors dont know what theyre talking about. Once you get by the starting gate though things are much clearer and easier. Overall I was happy with my choice to stay local and get my degree through SCCC.

Sara Burnley SCC was the worst experience of my life and was a waste. I dropped out due to personal issues and the school was just not helpful (granted I was so confused on what I wanted to do and had no help to figure out what would be best for me) my counselor was HORRIBLE! I told her all my issues and she was absolutely rude I told her I was scared of my ex at the time and scared about not being able to feed my cats (I always managed to do it no matter what) and SHE TOLD ME TO GET RID OF MY CATS! WHAT KIND OF COUNSLOR SAYS THAT HONESTLEY THE WORST! I would give this place a 1 star but I did like SOME of the professors there. But overall dont waste your time.

Pastor John Murray Schenectady County Community College is a wonderful institution. Two of my children and my wife are alumni. The school is well known for their music and culinary arts programs. For young people just graduated from high school this is a great school as the campus is compact and they have housing available, which is rare for a community college. The school also would be good for adult learners as well.

Bill Jeffers Great people, excellent education

Julia Eco As a foreign student at this small school, I will NOT RECOMMEND coming here! I found out their expectations for graduate students are different from the reality shown in the brochure. You will hear professors say to you: “This is a safe place to fail; ask me anything I’m here to help; you are here to thrive; feel free and go for it.” But it’s misleading and dishonest because they judge you and grade you harshly at every step in the process. Believe me: you will experience the feeling of frustration. And your love of learning the subject material is taken away. Under these circumstances, it is not surprising that the graduate college was taken over by another school -- again rebranding to change student perceptions. Yet the absence of real change still exists. Face it: the academic culture here is to discourage others. It’s not a happy place. Stay away, you have been warned!
