Overall I would definitely give my experience at South Mountian 5 stars. Back when I started my freshman year, I didn't know how college worked or what to expect. However, the classes I started with helped me get an idea of what the school was like. Each professor was great at teaching and always kept us engaged in what we were doing. After the first week, I knew it was going to be a good semester. Luckily I was able to align all my classes in my schedule. One of the benefits of South Mountain for me was the time the classes took place. I had 3 classes lined up Tuesday and Thursday while my other class was on Monday and Wednesday. For the most part, the school does a very good job with the time of each class. My next semester however didn't have an in-person class time that worked for me. Which is the main reason I'm thankful that South Mountain offers online classes to ensure that you complete the classes you need, when you need to complete them. I recommend SMCC to every new student.
I've really enjoyed my time here. The professors I've had are very good people and great instructors. I think students are better of taking part of in person classes than they are an online class. I've never dreaded going to a class, even if it was on a subject I'm not great in. There are really good people here that genuinely enjoy their jobs and like the people they get to teach.
I hadn't planned on returning to college at this point in my life, but I knew getting a bachelor's degree was something I wanted to complete. I was showing my daughter how easy starting the educational process was at a community college. While we were navigating the Maricopa Community College website, I noticed that there was a bachelor's degree in behavioral health sciences being offered at South Mountain Community College. I looked at the course requirements, and the classes being offered and reviewed the classes I'd already completed to realize I was further along on my BS degree than I originally thought. I enrolled as a student, online, set up my student center account and that was it. The enrollment and advising process has been very professional and convenient. The education I'm receiving is high quality and a good value.
