Jefferson Community College — Local services in City of Watertown

Updated again: It just keeps getting SO MUCH worse. One thing after the other I am being surprised with or told I haven't done or that something else is needed, when I was never informed of any of it. If you're enrolling here, good luck. I hope you don't have the same experience I have had. I stand by my original comment that this is by far the WORST college experience I have ever had, and I've moved a lot and been through 4 other colleges. EDIT: *Avoid Valerie Tober as an advisor. She is extremely discourteous, unreliable, and unpleasant. She made the process just that much worse. She treated me as a burden and was condescending to me for almost the entirety of having to work with her. This is the absolute WORST admissions process I have ever dealt with. If there were another college closer, I would have dropped this facility and chose to go elsewhere. The only people that were knowledgeable or help with anything was Zoey in admissions and Monica and Dean with IT. I'm thankful for them but extremely dissatisfied with the rest of the people I have had to deal with. It has been...

Don’t go here. This school is not military friendly. Had a B+ in a class when I had to go to the field training for two weeks. I told the professor at least a month in advance.

The professor was old and she didn’t know how to navigate the online portal for issuing assignments, she accidentally duplicated more than half the assignments and verbally told all students to ignore the duplicates which had due dates and would appear is incomplete. She used those duplicates to fail me and justify...

How long do students need to suffer under instructors who do literally the bare minimum possible? What are we even paying for? I can buy a textbook and read it. I don't need to pay this school 600 to do it. We are paying to be TAUGHT. How many bad class reviews need to be received before these in-it-for-the-check professors are let go? L.Cov is terrible for students every single semester. And yet... still "teaching." I had him, and he was non-existent, not even a single message, contradicting due dates, syllabus full of errors, and everything in the classes made from a third party website like Cengage. And every semester, I hear other students having the same problem.

Do better Jefferson...
