    They have no idea how to teach what you will need in the state of Kansas. They will use other professors lectures and do not want to answer questions or teach you. So yeah if you want to teach yourself from a book and have a bunch of assignments due constantly this is the place for you. You will find yourself googling topics and watching YouTube videos to learn it. Multiple (at least 3 that I know of) people in my class complained to the chair.

    I am taking a welding certificate so I can work in the welding workforce. I want to work for the olathe railroad welding force after college. Then maybe do some underwater welding I have not quite decided. If I do I have to take a scubadiving class to get certified in that. After that I have to take a underwater course to get certified to do underwater welding but it will take me a while to do

    Solid school. Easy(ish) to navigate. Some of the buildings are far apart and depending on your classes you might have only 10 minutes to go all the way across campus. The staff is friendly and try to help anyone navigate the school, so don't worry! Each building is clearly labeled and maps are everywhere so it's hard to get lost. There's tons of socializing areas and seating for different gatherings. Some of the popular places would be the courtyard with the fountains or the large hill in the center of campus. The campus also has a variety of food options, so whether you want smoothies, coffee, pizza, pastries or a salad there are options all around!

    Overall great place. Really can’t beat the price of classes vs big universities. At the end of a few years it’s all credits anyway so might as well try to save your self from giant loans. Loved that class sizes are also smaller and the teachers are pretty good. There’s always some bad teachers but mostly good ones. One time I was wrestling a friend outside by the parking lot after microbiology. It was super dark, like 9pm and no lights. I have my friend pinned down, he is screaming. My micro biology professor walks by and just says “you guys good” to which me and my friend are both like oh yeah. He just walked away. What a nice guy. He asked me about it next class in front of everyone. Good fun •_•

    Minus the fact that this school is one of the lowest rated school in the nation for parking.. the staff is friendly, and there are SO many helpful resources to keeping your grades up. I'm a mom who went back to school after 5 years and this school is the best way to do it.

    Also attended a graduation. The grounds were beautiful. The entire affair was handled beautifully considering how many graduates they needed to recognize. Helped a student move a table. Campus looked clean. Signs made it easy to find my way.

    It's ridiculous that in this day and age you're unable to change a student username 'because the system does not allow you to'. I understand for legal purposes a degree/transfer credits must contain a student's legal name, but an internal username? As a transgendered student, I'm re-thinking my choice of attending this college if they can't honor such a simple request. I haven't had this issue in other educational institutions. My first experience as a potential student has already been dehumanizing, since the admissions and IT staff at JCCC are apparently at the mercy of the machines. Posting this review with my student account so other transgendered students can make informed decisions, and JCCC can do better in the future. P.S: I work IT and am seeking a computer science degree, which is how I know this is either an admittance of unwillingness, or a system that should be updated/phased out if it can't perform a function as simple as a manual username change and/or username creation. P.P.S: To the reply below, the Technical Support Center is the *first* place I called. I also submitted a Name Change Form as instructed by said Technical Support Center, and it was the JCCC Admissions Data Specialist who emailed me to state my username cannot be changed. Please research a complaint thoroughly before replying, as I've already done everything I've been asked to by your institution. Also, what is the point of submitting a Preferred Name, if your entire institution, including this reply, still deadnames me? P.P.P.S (02/09/23): Stop leaving me voicemails about this. Both the IT department (the worker I got was a sweetheart, but couldn't do a thing for me through no fault of her own) AND your student success center have made it clear you can't/won't do anything until I provide you with a legal name change. You've also deadnamed me in every single voicemail you've left, which continues to make me wonder what is the point of a Preferred Name policy.

    I don’t go here but pass through on bike frequently. The grounds are beautiful and incredibly well-kept. Grass is green and net, sidewalks look like they are power washed regularly and the layout is the furthest thing from boring. 10/10 would bike through again

    The advisors and financial aid staff are unhelpful and apparently not interested in new students. Thanks to them, I won't be a jccc student.

    I love this school with all my heart. The graphic design teachers. They are super helpful and give the best critique. 10/10 would recommend going to college here. Far cheaper than spending an insane amount of money at a university.

    Absolutely unacceptable. I was driving on I-35 South 930am 11/19/23 during the 60 MPH Zone and one of your drivers was riding my tailgate while I was traveling 60 mph then switch over to another Lane and ride tailgate again on another car doing 60 mph. And when the lane cleared your driver flew by me easily going 70 or 75 mph or faster speeding no point for your driver to be aggressive driving. She needs to take one of your driver courses

    The more I look at JCCC, the more i want to go but there are no times at which the classes take place. Are there any afternoon classes? I work in the morning and want to find a schedule that work's for me.

    Professor Sarah Krumsick is the rudest person I’ve ever met and it’s boggling a person like her is teaching nurses to care for other humans. My experience with her was a detriment to my education.

    Best college I've attended. The professors I've had have been amazing and super helpful. I always recommend friends and family to attend here. They won't let you down and won't let you quit.

    In early 2016 I wanted to change careers. I signed up for a tour, and I was just blown away by how nice this campus is. So, at the age of 39, I was a college student again. The enrollment process was very easy, and everything could be done online including applying for financial aid. I enrolled in evening classes because I was working during the day. I was interested in a degree with an emphasis on Accounting because I remembered doing well and being interested in the subject when I had to take an Accounting class for a different degree. As for the quality of the teachers, I was mostly pleased. I took Accounting 1 from Mike Megaris. I loved the energy he brought to the classroom. He was good at staying on point during the lectures. One thing I'd change is doing more problems with him in class because there were several times I came across homework problems that I'm sure weren't explained in class. I took Accounting 2 from Anthony (Tony) Wayne. That was the 1 teacher I didn't like. Anthony wasted so much class time telling stories instead of teaching. I did well in Accounting 2 because I had help from 2 other students and because another JCCC teacher, Dave Krug, posted his lectures for Accounting 2 on YouTube. Thank you, Dave! One night for Accounting 2, Sasha Gluhovsky had to sub for Anthony. I wish she could have taken over the class because she was amazing. She's the reason I got an A on the 1st test in Accounting 2. I needed to take an econ class, so I enrolled in Microeconomics with Frank Syracuse. Frank wasn't just knowledgeable about Microeconomics. He had a passion for presenting the info in a way that the students will understand and appreciate it. Listening to him explain diminishing marginal utility using Whoppers from Burger King as an example was awesome. I took Managerial Accounting with Robert (Bob) Henn. He was an amazing teacher. He can explain complicated Accounting concepts in a way that makes it so much easier to understand. I had no idea Accounting could get this complicated when I started this journey, but having teachers like Robert makes it less intimidating. I also took an online class during my last semester that I enrolled in at the last minute because I was short 3 credits to complete my degree. It would have been nice if the people keeping track of that warned me before I started the last semester. I ended up taking a Microsoft Office class to refresh my skills in Office, to fulfill the credit requirement, and because I knew Excel is often used in Accounting offices. However, I did not enjoy the experience. This is not the fault of JCCC. I enjoy doing many things online, but I discovered that I prefer to take my classes in a classroom where I can talk to the teacher face to face and study with other students. The very first department I interacted with at JCCC was the Academic Advising. Each time I enrolled in classes for the next semester, I always talked to an academic advisor to see what classes I needed and what they thought would be good. That helped me a lot, and they were always happy to help. I didn't utilize the Career Development Center until was I close to graduating. They did a great job of helping me update my resume. I loved that I was able to order the books I needed online ahead of time and pick them up at the bookstore. I didn't love the college textbook prices, but they are expensive everywhere. The library and the computer labs were great places to study and get work done. The cafeteria also had a nice selection of food. I was only there 1 year (2016-2017) because I was able to transfer my college credits, but I really enjoyed my time at JCCC, and I highly recommend that high school students consider attending JCCC instead of jumping right into a 4-year college. A 2-year degree might be all you need for your career. Even if it's not, you will be able to transfer credits from JCCC to another college and save a ton of money on tuition. Shout out to Charlene Collins, Deana Sturd, and Joanna Georgiana for helping me get A's in my classes!

    This college is one of my places to learn and there is a class that I am taking but it's called connections to build better friendships and relationships and yes that also includes romantic relationships as well as have different options of classes to take in

    This place is cheap and you get what you pay for. The associates degree from this college will basically be entirely useless for any form of employment that a GED or highschool diploma does not cover. Even for positions among their own staff a degree in a related field along with a decade of work experience is insufficient to even be considered. Good for getting prereqs out of the way but a joke of a college overall.

    I got 2 degrees and my motorcycle safety training was done at JCCC. Professional staff. Great facilities. An all around great experience.

    Caught the end of the KC Japanese festival. Good time. Educational experience and a great place to find authentic Japanese pieces.

    Love this place. I've been attending for years, it's probably the single best community college in the country. And it just keeps getting better. University level professors, world class campus, friendly vibes.

    I worked hard to receive my associate's degree from JCCC back in 2017. Recently I took an exam at JCCC, and was saddened to see that they were taking an extreme political position which is damaging their reputation.

    Drum Tao 2022 represents Japan and Japanese youth with a grunge feel. Couple of women playing the flutes were too screeching and really did not have the strength to play the large drums. Even so, all in all a good performance.

    Terrible service. Been going there a while and it’s on the decline. After checking in online and waiting over 20 minutes past the time they said they would get to me, I had to leave without getting a haircut so I would be late for work. No sense of urgency from the stylists who stand around talking with each other, even when they have a waiting room full of customers. Last time I got a cut there, it was uneven. Don’t go there.

    Jccc is a wonderful school. They helped me transfer to the University of Kansas after two years, saving me thousands of dollars. Since then I have been accepted to graduate school at UC Merced. I couldn't have done it without Jccc! Shout-out to their wonderful philosophy department.
