Fort Scott Community College — Local services in Fort Scott

I am a current sophomore at FSCC. The instructors, staff, facilities, and programs are, in my opinion, well-organized, clean, and held to high standards. All colleges have flaws, but in my opinion, FSCC is a very nice place to get a higher education at an affordable cost. I have earned a 4.0 in both semesters I've attended here. The advisors have been very helpful, pointing me to classes I have very much enjoyed and helping me keep my goals in sight. Several student-centered events, occasional free food and beverage tables, a fully equipped and staffed testing center and learning lab, plus free faxing, copying, printing, tutoring and internet access in the MILL, along with Xbox systems to play in the Student Union, and laptops for loan from Advising, help make this school very student-friendly. Instructors do everything in their power to help students who try, succeed.

Make no mistake - this is a small town's college. Students who come here expecting big city amenities and entertainment will be disappointed. Do what I did while attending school in Chicago - walk to the free attractions (park, open air concerts, etc.), use coupons for free/discounted movies and dining. Bring your own games, game systems, books, laptops, etc. Put effort into your school experience. So many unhappy students I see here barely seem to try or care. They are unhappy because they are not carried by others and entertained, or because the food is different from what they are used to. I have eaten in the cafeteria on a hamburger Friday and thought it was delicious and filling! This is the economical choice for a higher education and you get what you pay for. So if you want Ivy League rooms, food, and services, pay an Ivy League price. If you want a good education with friendly, helpful people, and are willing to live with a small room and fairly ho-hum food, you'll pay a whole lot less for the same degree.

Although there are students that don't understand that when a program goes through changes you have to deal with the changes to. I'm at the age where if you want it bad enough it doesn't matter what happens,promises or not. I'm talking about the Harley-Davidson program. It's your best bang for the buck. The instructorsare the best out there. Yes the Harley program has done some changes. Any time the technology changes so does a course. I would recommend anyone that is interested in Harleys check out this program. Not every course is perfect. Nothing is perfect. The Harley-Davidson program is going to be bigger and better than ever. I know when all the bugs are worked out MMI, WYOTECH and many other schools will not be able to stand by this course. I can't talk for the other students but I will say this is the best course for Harley-Davidson. Please come check out the school. Look at what they have to offer over the other schools. FSCC Harley-Davidson is the...

My family has gone here before me and let me tell you, they did it while having kids. This place is amazing. I am currently going to college here now and as infatuated with it as I am it is still school and is still class. Yes, I admit, I get bored and tired of it with their 8am classes and their need for Freshman Orientation in sections. I am in the 2nd 8 weeks section and already have learned the fundamentals of how to work around Blackboard and Gizmo. I also may add I had classes in the first 8 week section and those teachers taught me how to work around all the things online related. The teachers are amazing and the staff behind them are as well. I am doing this whole college thing on my own and financial aid has been there to answer every question I had as well as advising. Freshman Orientation is NOT needed. :( But alas I deal with it because I am a broke college student that is required to take this...
