St. Louis Community College - Forest Park — Attraction in St. Louis

As long as you do not have to deal with the unprofessionalism I have witnessed in both the Academic Advising department and the Financial Aid office, the place is otherwise amazing. I am Meramec alumni and the staff accepted here would never be working there. Openly gossiping about students as soon as they leave, eating food while assisting a student (and touching a computer keyboard mind you)...oh, and Advising deciding I was not eligible for financial aid and arguing with me when I informed her the financial aid department said I still had to have something filled out. She ran down there, convinced she was right, and came up with her tail between her legs. Simply did NOT want to do her job. Common complaints I see. What is going on STLCC-FP? This cash-paying student sure would like to know. ONLY 2 stars because the staff so far has been amazing. Several in the Advising department (and financial aid) need to be let go and a reboot needs to happen. I have so many additional stories, but I rest my case. I won't have to deal with the main 2 problem departments any more luckily, so as long as you're paying cash and do not need advising (because you can keep track of what you need in the way of courses),...

Your “wanna be” campus police officers are some of the most unproductive people I’ve met in my life. Instead of focusing on people speeding in front of your campus next to the CDLC, they would rather ticket parents running inside to pick up their child after a long day because you parked in a “no parking zone” for less than 3 minutes. You folks are the laughing stock of “cops”. Instead of giving parents the safety of having room while they do construction on Oakland Road they would rather park sideways in the pick up area to force parents to park on the street and take their kids out in harms way. There’s no compassion or grace, just authority and power tripping campus policing. So many other things your security should be focused on but nope, we need to ticket parents parking incorrectly and waste multiple hours at the end of the day sitting in their cruiser to block traffic. I’ve watched multiple people speed past me and my son because of the construction and the location of where we are allowed to park. It’s frustrating when your security officers just watch and continue to kick back in their cruisers and do nothing about it other than block your safest entry to pick up your...

Do Not register there, you will be yelled at and bullied by Admission/Enrollment/Advisors/Counselors/Assessment center women. They are the worst employees benefiting from a public service and not helping the students as they should be, the very racist and would talk good only to people who look like them, and they will be rude to other students. They do not help, they do not answer their phone and put you on hold for a very long time. Advisor is not willing to tell you the requirement and process, she just want to be sitting on Facebook and eating nuts!!! The other one did not have a respect at all. Danielle was yelling over the phone, Ms. Hills was sitting around and chewing gum while 8 students were waiting in the lobby to be seen!!! What the hell Forest Park CC?? Glenn Marshall what are you doing? YOu should start firing those lazy ass employees and find qualified academic and educated people to help students. If you do not know what you are doing you should quit your job and they should find someone else. The note will be going to Nicole Galloway very soon because this is a public...
